    $250 is your budget? You won't get a good tune with that. Most are $400-$500.

    Most are around $500 from Uni now, depending on the engine. Unless you get in when they are running specials.

    if u have a 1.8t the best you could do for $250 is buy an N75 Race Valve from ECS Tuning and a Wide Open Throttle Box. Race valve is $75. WOT Box is $199. It allows you to hold the pedal on the floor while shifting at redline and also includes something similar to 2 step.
