    If you do Gordon do as others have said and get Quattro to save your existing tune for you so you can put it back on if you need to, as opposed to the 'APR' stock tune.

    APR is a good tune for the first 2 hours, it felt like driving my uncles WRX, 1st and 2nd went so fast. then i assumed it ended, performance was okay, like it used to be, but then the tune actually ended and my car..haha, struggles, i cant even get the wheel to spin in first.... something i couldnt help before my APR tune. So rather

    A) i got used to the tune, then realised how slow my car was with "APR's" stock tune.

    B) APR is actually great, blew my DV, then had a broken car with a blown DV and stock APR tune.

    As im replacing the DV to a forge 008 next week, im hoping its B.

    I have an APR Stage 1 tune in mind, perhaps I should get the 6 hour test and burn a tank of petrol to test. ATM I get 8.5 city running with A/C on.
    You drive with the A/C... my A/C makes my car whines like a dying cat and power low down is just sad. i almost stall sometime up hills if i have it on because im so used to the car with it off

    Take the DV off and test it. Just google the method.

    I have a rule, never fiddle with my car, i ALWAYS do more damage than good just not my gift. in fifth when i let go of the throttle at at low revs there's like a "boom boom boom" burble sound which i only noticed recently. But its not a flutter as such.

    Might forget to feed the horse, get a push bike

    8.5l is what I usually get over a tank of suburban driving without AC, add that and it's into 9s. And I drive gently around suburbs. Anyway, didn't by it for fuel economy.
