Just building it back to stock. It's really costly! Parts for these cars are mad expensive!

That is awesome your engine is being warrantied with the tune.
It's funny how everyone is paranoid to tune (including me) but there rarely any stories where waranties are actually denied...

Read again - warranty voided by VW. He's on his own for the rebuild cost as I read it.. that bites, but anyone who tunes has ample warning of that possibility.
If that's the case then that is a bummer for him.
He wrote: dealer didn't. Warranty void.
The period after ''didn't'' through me off...

Yeah it's very tempting to tune, especially when it makes such a difference.
Piggybacks like (JB1 and NPM) are only ''invisible to dealer'' warranty safe options there is with these cars. Not as much gains as tuning but definitely wake the car up if you arent happy with the stock power.
Looking back overall though after modding and tuning several cars, Ive found it usually isn't worth it and just opens a can of worms. If you want more car, buy something that performs the way you like it stock.

Sorry to hear about your luck. Unfortunately tune had nothing to do with your problem. As you stated yourself, it was the water meth that screwed up your car. So even if you didn't have the tune chances are you would have been SOL. Good luck to you and hope you get something figured out.

I really feel for mroski.. it is flat out horrible luck! I have tuned and modified every vehicle I have ever owned - cars, pickups, motorcycles.. and not once have I had any issues whatsoever.. and I enjoyed every single vehicle more with the upgrades.
mroski's experience is by far the remote minority.. really sucks that you experienced the engine failure - any indication what happened and the cause? I would be very curious to hear if you have a chance to share.
