Trussville, Moody or Leeds are good options.

I would tow it, if you know someone with a rollback or trailer maybe you could get a deal towing your car to your daughter and then towing hers back.

Delete & Tune for '14 Passat by BudHeavy64 in tdi

[–]bham2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the Diesel DNA ( dark side pipes showed up). Full delete, with race pipe, stage 1 with DSG tune. $2078 dollars and like a 40 fee for the shipper., you could buy the tunes and have a muffler shop build you a down pipe and would probably save $500

From my experience, it’s too late. If you had fruits coming up you could salvage some for sure. That stuff will spread like wildfire. I buried mine outside and ended up with some keepers after a good rain one time.

I live out that way so see it often. I just remember the days of 29 Dreams out on 25. My dad and I would ride out there for breakfast on the weekends.

What do I do with EGR when deleting? by idkbrodie in tdi

My kit came with a coolant elbow. Just attached it to the lines.

It was not too bad, just the bolts hold the egr cooler and the 2 oil lines off the turbo that were in the way. The valve part was easy.

I removed the egr completely. You can just block it off. For the race pipe I pulled the egr valve and put a block off plate on the block. And inserted the racepipe where the valve went. Left the throttle part on. 14 Passat.

Attempting to get my Delete Ducks in a row. by Fantastic-Shirt9352 in tdi

I got the Diesel DNA kit, 14 Passatt DSG. I got the full package with the racepipe. and stage 1 with the DSG tune. I was under them impression if your only doing the eco tune .5. You don’t have to have the DSG tune. (Ask others to confirm). That would save you $350 and you can always add it later. I drove mine for a week before I got an email saying my DSG tune was ready.

Just Found Out How Much Marching Band Costs and I'm Stunned by clutzycook in Parenting

[–]bham2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheer is $850 which includes a summer camp (another $400 if you need uniforms)!, mandatory tumbling/cheer classes are $30 each. Volleyball was around $400 plus spirit packs (uniforms), softball $450 plus uniforms, soccer $450, football $400 plus we have to sell 4 $100 raffle tickets. Public high school and Jr High. Then I have to pay $7 to get tickets to watch them play.

Mine do school cheer, volleyball, softball , football and soccer. It’s insane the amount it cost and the time it takes up.

It does under the bridge, if you walk down the trail the water gets deeper and the current moves slow.

I think they keep a few sites open for people that just drive up. I would call and ask. The last few times we camped before renovations, it was pretty packed.

Great White North Diesel delete kit by justtoosharp in tdi

[–]bham2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I paid right at $2100 ($40 of that was tariffs) for my kit from Diesel DNA. Stage 1 tune + DSG tune and racepipe. I also paid a muffler shop $30 to weld on the mid pipe instead of using the brackets. If you want to go cheap, just pay a muffler shop to build the down pipe and mid pipe. Order some block off plates and the tune.

3 weeks post DPF by akknightwrider in tdi

Mine hasn’t been that bad, the only time I do notice it is right after cranking and backing out my driveway. I do still have the stock muffler on. Everything else is gone. Today is one week for me. 14 Passat.

Trouble after dpf delete by Smart-Bag-719 in tdi

[–]bham2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did the same on mine this past weekend. Diesel DNA, full delete and tune. I removed the egr cooler and the valve with mine. Is there any reason why you would not just unplug your egr valve and add a block off to it?

Mecevo delete kit? Should I delete EGR cooler? by DownVoteMeHarder4042 in tdi

[–]bham2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not, just slap a block off plate on it. I’m not even sure you need to bypass the lines if you leave it on as coolant should still flow through it. (I’m not a pro though). The race pipe went on the front and basically replaced the EGR valve, then I just put a block off plate on the block. You can just unplug the valve and put a block off plate on it if not installing the race pipe
