Hi All,
Just had my Polo GTI flashed with the APR Stage 1 program... While there is a mild difference, personally its not $1300 worth of difference. Also the power delivery is very jerky when travelling over 100kmph @ ~ 4-7000rpm... (Overtaking)
I've definitely got it set to 98 Octane and i'm definitely running 98 Octane BP Ultimate.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Josh

98 Shell Vpower is just as good as BP ultimate....plus is it really hot in perth today? Probs getting lots of hot air is not doing it any favours

That seems to concur with the Ausmotive review that was posted up the other day with a stock Polo Gti and an APR Stage 1 Polo Gti.
If I eventually do buy a Pogo, I won't be modding it but horses for courses!

Facelift in 2013...best to hold out nowOriginally Posted by Molotov

Def this is going to be a factor. I would hold out until it's cooler to make a final judgement. It's been high 30s in Adelaide this week and boost power is certainly down for me!

i still have to remember, i've only done 800km's... still nowhere near run in... so i'm sure there will be a few hiccups...
the HP CAI should definitely help things along.

Because of the torque band of the engine the extra torque probably isn't goin to feel as extreme as with other engines but you should definitely feel the difference with the extra pull... Mind you, at only 800kms on the clock, you wouldn't know the car intimately enough to feel the difference...

But...we had some humidity this morning.
Also..800kms...that donk is still gonna be a bit tight.
FWIW...register your findings with APR...that way, if there are issues later on, you have established a communication history/channel with them.
Also...cheers
