Don't hold your breath. Looks like Upsolute hasn't done any work with fuel delivery.

It works perfect without any mechanical mods. changing mechanical parts is a way to do something without having to deal with the programing. Alex does his work on the software, he is not a mechanic. Thats why some companies require a 5bar with K04 and my passat runs perfect with a K04 and 4bar. If you want to mechanicaly "fool" your car get a BCS.

Default No, the simple fact is that the injectors and pressure reg...

cannot give you the fuel you need. You'll start running lean, then your engine will throw codes. The Gen 2 has a different fuel system than the Gen 1.

Default So, why do you think the fueling is a problem? Is that what some company told you?

You guys are so funny with your "if it's not APR it's crap mentality" FYI we have had cars running fine in europe for weeks. Unlike other companies that have chipped 02 A4s and had them die 15 miutes later in need of a new ECU.

Default "we?" Are you a part of upsolute? If so, I suggest you start paying the mods or stop posting ads

for it. Also, APR is only one of several companies that acknowledge there is a fuel problem. Like I said before, there are different injectors and a fpr than the gen 1.
