If you're subscribed to our YouTube channel, you may have already seen the series of videos we made on tuning the 3.0 V6 Amarok. If not, don't worry, this blog will cover all the bases! Or, you can still watch the videos here: From the beginning: This project all came about after a customer contacted us regarding tuning his pre-ordered brand new 258bhp VW Amarok.

So its been a while since the last A5 video due to other projects but you'll be glad to know we are still working on this project slowly but surely! Check out UPDATE of our Vlog below: And then, not a massive update, but our new, bigger big turbo has arrived, so we talk through the specs and run the car up on the Dyno before we start to rip it to bits again.
