    thought i'd add my 2cents to this thread. Has been a week since I took my MY12 Golf GTI DSG to Quattro motors to have the 6 hr trial installed, they charged $45 upfront which is refundable when you actually decide to go ahead with it. Took awhile to notice the difference, i think mainly because it was 37 degrees that day. But after that, for the past week the car has been awesome, and it certainly does feel like a new car. Will definitely take it back to have it permanently installed, but might wait another week to see if there is going to be any Christmas sales like last year.

    Finance_Analyst, just saw you are in Toowong, that is where I live also, I also have a Candy white 5Dr GTI (not detroits unfortunately). Can I ask where you got your Tune done and the dials? Did you get a dealer to do you dials?

    hi mate. I got mine done at Prestige and Performance as a mate with an S3 has lots of work done there and likes the service. Mike also did my dancing dials - the code is somewhere on this forum if you search. As an added bonus, APR just released the xmas sale today for the month of December so 15% off all ECU tunes - damn it I was one month too early!

    Send me a PM and we can catch up to have a chat if you like over a beer and I can even show you my car for comparision.

    but with the APR upgrade, you actually SAVE fuel......

    Went into Volkspower today by chance to ask how much to do a tune. Dean told me they have 15% off the tune. My response can you do it now. Sure can takes 30 minutes. Done. Oh my god it goes hard now. I love it. 1270 dollars. I can't argue with that.

    One month on, still blown away (no pun intended)...... Those pesky WRXs don't know what has hit them when I fly by!

    interesting story - my mother, has APR in her Eos and she likes to give other cars a run every once in a while. APR gives her the confidence to beat most cars on the road. She noticed in her mirror quad headlights, she thought "i'd show that E class who's boss!"
    wasn't an E class. It was a Continental GT and she said it made a thundery noise as it flew by
