Hey TIGR,
Form your earlier post "Does anyone get a 'chirp' or what sounds like a quiet beep when accelerating hard.. (like foot flat)?" I did experience the same noticeable "Chirp" sound as well. My best guesses is, it could be the stock engine mount is too soft. Given that the ECU and DSG been tuned for more responsive and output. I was actually looking into getting the HP engine mount first then the sway bar and lower control arms. Do you still have that Chrip sound when u foot flat on the accelerator?
Indeed, we do have a very similar setup! lolAs i believe that would be the best way to do so, given that i have a 5 months old baby at home now, the "Me time" become very precious and extremely limited.
GFB DV+, in my opinion is surely a more substantial item than than the stock one. Other than that it have a better acoustic respond on the throttle, but don't think it does much on the performance. This is the first thing i installed together with the APR intake kit and i couldn't notice much of a different.
With the APR intake kit, i did find that its extremely hard to fit in and screw on the 90 degree plate to secure the air-box. I think its because i also had the front bracket on for the connection between the air-box to the front panel. At the end i didn't put it on and it's actually pretty secured anyway. Did you come across the same issue as well?
The ABT kit is just there to make it seem more sportier for me, given that the Tig R can only have the front grill and exhaust (without rear skirt) installed. In performance wise, the quad exhaust is 76 mm in diameter and it does make the engine feel much smoother with the breathing on low end and spool up faster in respond on high end. Also it does give it a great acoustic performance sound.
The only think i highly recommend would be LED door warning light to be installed. For me it does make it much safer for the family to come out of the car in the dark. Plus it doesn't take long to install and wire it up, and of course you will need to activate it with VCDS.
Lastly, did you end up installing the APR turbo muffler delete? I'm very curious if it actually does much of a different in the performance wise......![]()
