Here is more on the system: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/D...AQ-VW-Audi.htm

FYI, the car's emissions will go way up and if you have state visual or smoke inspection you'll definitely fail.
You mentioned having the engine tuner remove the software for it. So after you do this can you remove the DPF? Also the whole reason I'm inquiring about this topic is because I plan on an ECU re-flash for the 140-170hp increase. A lot of the manufactures recommend a DPF delete. Is this a physical delete or software one?
