[Vwdiesel] Been a while

[Vincent McBeigh]

An A3 TDI would be about the perfect car for me, but finding a good one is like hen’s teeth. I like the DSG shifts. They’re actually a little soft for my tastes, almost like trying to emulate a torque converter auto and that’s just wasted clutch material. Any one I get would end up with an engine and tranny tune, probably from Kerma or APR. 

I love C2 and have bought their tunes before; but I don’t know if they have any tunes that modern.
