Yup, I tuned my BEW with an auto. I went with a custom Stage 4 Malone Tuning set-up on my car. The car went from 105hp to 155hp and I now have 260lb-ft. You just need to add a larger turbo, 3 bar map, tune it and drive like a mad man. I opened my exhaust a little as well. Burns cleaner than it did before the tune and will pull solid 25psi of boost. Fun for passing or pulling out of Toyotas in Richmond.
