My car is sitting at Quattro Motors today, getting its APR ECU upgrade. Will pick it up after work.
Traded it in for a Candy White Octavia RS TFSI sedan.

I picked it up and all I can say is........
MUA...MUA....MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Actually, it didn't start out that way. I don't know if it was the heat or what, but I was distinctly UNDERWHELMED at first. Yes, I could feel a BIT more power, but not an awful lot. Then, about 25kms in, it seemed to kick in!
I've just taken it out again now that it has cooled down (needed to go get some petrol I told the wife...) and it's even better!!!
Thank you, oh holy APR!
Yeah mate the heat will do that. Man it was pretty hot today was it not? I never really noticed the heatsoak effect when stock but now that its chipped, its pretty hard to avoid on a day like today. Sometimes you feel like there is no boost at all on a scorcing hot day. But take it out in the cool evening and its a whole different story. Also as you have found, the car's ECU is constantly changing due to the way you drive the car & I personally think you don't get true full power out of the chip tune until you have driven for a good couple of tanks of fuel. So you should find it just gets better and better. Also upgrading the induction will also bring out the power in the car. Start with a K&N panel filter. You'll really notice it.
