Contact them and as them if they can send you some dyno logs. I'm sure that they have some.

I have Stage 2. John is a good friend of mine, he has remapped my previous Beetle Cab 1.8T and my misses 1.9TDI Beetle. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him, he has a wealth of knowledge. I am looking forward to seeing what results I get on the RR, not taht it really matters on the figures, it goes like stink so thats all that matters to me!

thats whats making me hesitated...i read a lot of good reviews on dna and John but all of them were mkiv and beetles
so i'm not sure if they have enough experience with mkv and 2.0T...I am concerned about reliability too not just having good figures on the RR and being fast

The decision is ultimately yours but i do know he regularly tunes the 2.0T, he doesnt just specialise in VAG either, I know he does all marques. Im not going to try and sell him to you im just speaking from my experience of him. Good luck in whatever you choose!  :happy2:

Ah, I had the Cyber Green 1.8t cab decked on coilovers (Low-With-Go), went to quite a few meets with Anton (Blue Smoothie), Think we might have met at one of them.
