Golf R APR Stage 1+?

[Guy_H]

There has been another 12 months of testing gone into the new version - a lot of work behind the scenes in Europe and we have 4 APR dealers in Australia who all own Golf R's that have been testing this version well before any release to the public.

Brenton, lets get the new file in your car & let you do an independent dyno & you can post up your own results!

We have run cars back to back from Dynapack to Mainline, and as Anthony mentioned, you will not find much difference between dyno's that are properly set up.

The big things that can change on a chassis dyno is tyre pressures & hold down strap tensions - next time anyone is getting a dyno run, ask the operator to demonstrate the power differences when you change the tyre pressure 20 PSI or crank down (or loosen) the vehicle straps - you can make it read what you like.

If doing it on a dynapack, get the runs "uncorrected", this shows you the true data as collected before the software applies any corrections. Running in different gears gives different torque & HP numbers (power on a dyno is only derived from the measured tractive effort) and it might vary 4-8kw on a 250kw car - but obviously that missing or gained KW's could start a forum war.

Always log your intake temp (via VCDS) and boost whilst you are at it - this will give you insights as to why you get result "A" and on a different day you get result "B".

We have a specific tune for the Golf R fitted with pump only (you could call it 1+ but we don't), we have actually had this combination in place since we helped pioneer it on on the Audi S3 back in 07'.

Our new V 3.1 is about to be rolled out, and with pump & intake (no exhaust) on test Golf R's its making well in excess of 200 AWKW.

see also you have a response from James - good!

Cheers Guy, yep that 3.1 is the same one that James mentioned, with those figures I don't reckon I'll be able to hold out until my service is due So with an exhaust you would have to be getting near 220AWKW?

[Guy_H]

Cheers Lazarus, have not run one on a dyno with the exhaust on the new file yet - we normally see around 9wkw from our exhaust so tipping over 210kw should be achievable.

The test car in the picture is one of our Brisbane dealers cars, so we have access to it for testing & exhaust will be next.

Amazing.....but

You've only just found a solution for something you helped pioneer ~5 years ago? Unless the 8P S3 and Golf R don't share similar hardware and you guys don't have such extensive experience and knowledge on the VAG platform?

200awkw is great considering my APR stage 2+ only made 185awkw. It's amazing how much difference software can make..... LOL

Yours and every other Stage 2+ car that isn't owned by a dealer!

Must be the most amazing tune in the world to all of a sudden make so much power with out the extra hardware! A cynic would call b/s...

Revo ftw!!!!

LOL! Sorry, i suffer from touretts occasionally.

In the past APR tunes have not met their claimed results, i wonder if it is different this time?

I will give credit where credit is due though, you can sell oil to the arabs and Ice to the eskimo's....LOL

This revision is exciting!

So Fabulous... Are you going to get your APR tune back??

Very feasible Turkent!!!

Depends if he needs to fork out another $1350 and if Volkspower will still talk to him hehe
