    Tune for 1.8t gen3 Jetta

    Posted by Jerrid Lozenski Jr on Apr 23rd 2026

    I love it. I spent months doing things to my car and buying parts to install on the car so I could get a tune and Trent killed it. I was really on the fence but I have no complaints. Currently at 523 miles with the tune and it completely wakes the car up

    A whole new car

    The cable showed in the mail and he fit me in extremely quickly. After the tune it is a whole new car with a ton of power, and the sound is amazing!
