    APR Stage I ECU upgrade tomorrow!

    Getting this installed tomorrow along with a 15,000km service (Golf R).

    Will I go "wow!!!" after I pick the car up or is it really not that noticeable?

    Latest is version 3.1file for KO4 cars [S3,Golf R Pirelli etc]
    It's a BIG step up over previous reflash [which was pretty good anyway]
    Just had my S3 reflashed last week and the result is excellent.
    Give it a couple of days/100 kays to settle right in.
    Mine's just gotten better and better!
    Cheers

    Yes you will notice the difference..

    Then you will want a bigger turbo, better brakes, better suspension, better exhaust, a better fuel pump and larger intercooler.

    Enjoy the sickness.

    you got for something better like GIAC!
    "Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.

    V 3.1 is for stage 1 (no hardware) and then we have "bespoke" versions which cover any combination of hardware including fuel pump, exhaust / intake etc. So it will go on all K04 cars (If you don't have it John, we should have it available in the coming weeks for your vehicle)

    So V3.1 is only for the K04 cars? Do the K03's have an update?
