**Kai** · 29-04-2009, 04:41 PM

Haven't really had much time to get it put in..

What is everyones opinion on APR V2.

Does the car feel faster?

Does it feel like its got more torque?

For the more spirited drivers. Do you like it in the mountains?

Has anyone gone back to V1.

thankssssssss!

Kai, havent gone back to v1 and for daily driving/spirited driving v2 seems better through more low rev torque whereas v1 has slightly more oomph in the higher rev range

yeah losing that top end is what i was worried about. From a few posts ive seen most people did mention it. So it is obviously noticeable.

Ill probably give it a go. Wouldnt supprise me if i was the first to go back to V1 tho. Ill dyno before and after same day. Ill do a few tests too which will give a cool bit of data.

I tend to like the v2 version suits the car well and feels good.
Would be interesting to see some solid 0-100 times on both.
All depends what you want out of the car i guess.
each to there own.

I think from memory he has dump pipe and intake?

It wont change the graph from the mods he has. As he hasn't added or removed before and after tune. Should be the same.

Mate, your not the first to go back to V1..

I had V2 and this is my honest opinion.. It may have a higher average power but the characteristics dont suit the car as well as V1. We dont have the traction for the low down squirt and when it gets traction its not making as much power as V1. Why do you want a tune that smokes the tyres down low and finally when you get traction, it has no top end?

Yeah its punchy coming out of corners etc but in a straight line, I reckon V1 is faster.. I went back.. Whats the point of having an exhaust/intake etc for more top end and the tune isnt taking full advantage..

Maybe if we get better tyres V2, otherwise V1
