Can you guys please link to your source when you state these things. Or if it's been personally told to you, who and when and what for etc. As per my post, where the prices came from the Eurospeed site, there is more than a single price, depending on your model and what you want done...

I'm booked in to do my APR Stage 1 this Saturday @ 9:30am - Volkspower. Hopefully the tune will be as awesome as described by you guys

Only 3 more sleeps to go.

Good point.

For GIAC the $1045 quote came from Arthur @ Exoticars in Parramatta.

For Revo the price is $899 and comes from Link

Both are for a Golf R.

I am also tossing up which tune to get.

Spoke to a GIAC retailer in Victoria today, nice guy, but didn't feel me with confidence that he knew much about Golf R's.
Then went to Dean at Volkspower, he spent 30 minutes talking to me about the ins and outs of every Golf R mod you could wish for and gave me info based on dozens of Stage 1 tunes he has already installed.
For $ 1270 till end of May , I am happy to spend the $ 250 extra for an APR tune.

Wow that is cheap (relative), plus you get all those extra programs for free now.

Unfortunately not on the R. Only 1 program for the R.
