APR ECU Upgrade MK6 Golf - Customer perspective

[Banzai]

Stuck my GTI up on a Dyno a couple of weeks ago and, allowing for driveline losses the figures seem pretty close to APRs claims. I was however surprised by how rich the tune is at the top end.

Thats spot on, the "richness" is the component protection maps, as we mentioned in the other thread, keeps those EGT's in check!

Got my car after the 15k service this afternoon - car has it's mojo back, and then some. I might've even said to myself that I don't really need the APR for now (not that that will stop me).

Only thing is I forgot to ask about the horn not working w/o ignition. I've not even tried it on my car still.


btw Guy - not sure if you work at the same place as Dean (Volkspower)... if yes - when do you guys close shop for the holidays so I can visit before then?

Hey Ryan,

I'm Brisbane based, best to ring Dean (Volkspower) to find out when he is closing this year 03 9808 6777

Guys, what are the typical 0-100 km/h times that people are seeing on mk6 GTi with APR Stage 1 ?

Manual or DSG? there is about a second difference

[aVex]

Both? I'm really fat as well so I guess it might slow the car down heaps.

DSG ~ 5-00 seconds flat. about 5.5 for the manual. Hooking them up is the trick.

You can hear the wheelspin on this launch....

Not bad at all for a FWD, considering Fab_R just recently did a 4.37 in his R.
