How is Malone Tuning for your VW different than other offerings on the market? Malone tunes are not generic "tuning box" upgrades - a less effective method that often skews OBD2 data causing inaccurate injection and boost data. Malone custom tunes allow for the fine adjustment of boost pressure and fuel supply according to specific RPM points. The result is control over boost spikes, boost creep, and smoke levels. "This tune will make you smile the first time you get on it. This truly is a night-and-day difference from stock." — Customer Review

Each unit works and plays well with your MK4 1.8T engine management system.

The OEM water pipe is made of plastic, like many other components in your cooling system. This plastic becomes brittle over time and exposure to constant temperature change.

This is designed to be the last water pipe you'll ever need to replace.
