This past month I pulled the trigger on a new K04 tune. It was a leap of faith at the time but I ended up happy.
I have the autotech hpfp, twintake, 42DD 3" turbo back exhaust, twintercooler and a K04 from a low mileage Golf R. I’m running S3 injectors, but that’s because I bought them before I knew DM could tune it for stock injectors.
DM sent me a cable next day air and we began the process. Unfortunately I had a hardware issue that had the car throwing a cam position sensor fault code. DM sent me a file to try and helped troubleshoot the issue even though it was not related to their software, simply to help out.
After this was figured out, I was sent a higher output file and the car started on the first crank and idled smoother than it has ever ran since I’ve owned the car. Being this is a new company and I was a guinea pig I was skeptical of the cable I was sent and the software but it flashed without issues in less than 10 minutes and the car cranked right up. The DSG had a more aggressive feel, despite this not being related to DSG software. The throttle was much more consistent and the top end pull was fantastic. My fuel mileage increased greatly, DM explained that this was due to the fact that the file was actually tuned for my car and isn’t going to suffer from fuel trim issues or misfires because of it… and they were right. Just the smooth idle, gas mileage and smooth power delivery is worth the money and a lot of it was attributed to the file being tuned for the intake.
The car has smooth timing advance, as high as 16* of advance. I had the file custom tweaked even further for my hardware 3-4 days after purchase and top end power improved further.
Tl;dr DM is legit. Don’t be afraid of a new company, it’s what this industry needs.
