Who is assuming what? Stop deflecting!! You in this very topic have assumed, you jumped all over RobertRyan assuming he was talking of new vehicles when he was referring to used. You continued to brow beat him with each post. I'm calling you out, I haven't denied anything, but you try to deflect or twist. You still changed OEM settings something you chastised others for doing it!
Mods: this topic needs to be closed.
LOL! I didn't assume he was talking about new. I knew it was used. I only used new pricing as an example between the US and Australian variants of that truck because there are too many variables to compare in used pricing as I stated multiple times before. PLEASE GO BACK AND READ....
Just because I changed OEM shift and power settings does not mean I am polluting more like you did when you deleted. Where on earth are you getting that? How many vehicles have you re-mapped to come to that conclusion.
I am guessing you do not understand how modern emission equipped vehicles work. For one, the 2.0 VW did not have an SCR/DEF system so it sole purpose of removing NOx was the EGR which is suppose to open when combustion temps get above 2,500F. 2013+ Cummins 6.7L diesels have an SCR system which will inject more DEF depending on NOx output of the engine. If you increase power and increase NOx, then the SCR will just inject more DEF to bring it down to standard levels. There fore you are not increasing emissions, but rather increasing DEF usage. The 2.0L VW could not do this since it did not have an SCR system. Google it if you don't believe me.
Seriously, go give Calibrated Power Solutions a call with your assumptions and when they prove you wrong with all the data they show you then you can come back here and tell us all about.
