You won't regret the APR ... in the 4 days mine has been done I've run up 1000kms having fun with it .... absolutely loving it

Thanks chipped. I'm guessing V1 has the power more up top?

And Bump you wont regret it. Its likely dropping off your car and picking up a new more powerful one. Are you getting the dogbone mount upgrade at the same time? If it can be squeezed in your budget I'd highly advise. A very cheap and very noticable addon. When you look at the power gains I think its a wise move. You've got around 38% more HP but 50% more torque and that is a massive increase.

And yes you are about to embark in a whole new "relationship" with your car. Trouble with this part of the year is there is an huge police presence on the road. I'm definately in for a ticket any tick of the clock now! lol

Also one thing I have noticed since we have just had a very hot day is that heatsoak issue you guys have been talking about is very noticable on a 38deg day! Feels quite sluggish compared to first thing in the morning for instance. So much so I am seriously looking at a FMIC the very next thing I do to it.

Hey Mozz,

Yep that 38degreer wasn't so fun...roll on winter again!!
I'm hoping for a good tax return next financial so Uncle Kev can by me an FMIC.

I waited one month and had 1000kms up on it and then got the APR flash yesterday ..... warranty issues I'll deal with if it occurs, but I'm pretty confident in both the 1.8T engine and APR that "issues" will not arise in the next 2yrs 11 months !

Hi Dean,
Where abouts did you get your APR flash done at in Sydney,and also where abouts did you sourse your SEAT intake from?
Quite interested in both these mods very soonish!!

APR was done through Derek at European Autotech (9979 4484) they are at Mona Vale ... but the return drive gives you a chance to play I didn't need to book, just turned up and it took <30min. 10% discount on APR atm as well.

The SEAT Intake through Tim at Dub Addiction .... www.dubaddiction.com.au

Yeah mate that reminds I need to get an act an sort my tax out too! LOL Trouble is that I dont want to be slugged with a tax bill which I have a feeling I may be up for this year. Rudd's xmas cash handout would have gone down well right about now too. Oh well can't have everything i guess.

Just picked the car up from Brian @ Quattro...chipped...am ready to head back to the future - god damn!

Does anyone else have the traction control and ABS light constantly on whilst in V2 program? Does this mean my above systems are disengaged whilst in V2 program? Break peddal feel was slightly different...

Ordered engine mount with Brian...fitting in the new year - other than the above, very happy with results - can forsee new tyres in the near future!
