"Horsepower would go from 265 to over 350" is already achieved by Ecotune without DPF delete. Or is there yet another increase past that?
Whats the hp/tq increase without Ecotune (not sure exactly what that is), just DPF delete?

You are correct, with the current tune the hp quoted to be around 350, depending on the dyno of course. Without the DPF the horsepower will increase even more as there's less backpressure. How much more is currently unknown. Once the 335d folks will report with dyno number we shall know.

Ecotune have not commented on what the monitors show with their DPF delete/tune. TDIwyse reported that the monitors would not set readiness and therefore you won't pass OBDII check. When Ecotune can address this, I'll be a buyer.

I understand your concern about obd readiness. Perhaps in the future this may be circumvented, but currently would fail.
