Default Re: i think he asked because results can widely vary from dyno to dyno

Unfortunately untill today i didn't even know what a dyno was but Kevan told me that if i want to know the exact numbers I'll have to use it so I looked for the closest shop with one and made the earliest appointment available.

I think by baseline he means the stock numbers that the dyno would have showed before the upgrade which I don't have but I'll be happy to share the "after" results and perhaps that will reveal some interesting data.

Default So APR has released the stock program?

So the stock program has been released? I can't wait till the 25th.... I was visualizing my black B7 being upgraded while looking at your pictures.

Default Re: how much was everything

If you install 2 programs (stock + APR) plus the security wall (pin code) so your APR program is hidden from prying eyes you are looking at about $800 +tax.

Default Exactly what mods did they do or what curves did they change?

As in, exactly what things did they change with the "ECU flash" (what I usually call these sort of things) on your car? Did they raise the boost? If so, how much? Did they mess with the fuel & timing curves? Anything with emissions or ignitions settings? Have you noticed more fuel being comsumed or any difference in fuel enrichment (smell)? Just curious what type of things the APR Stage I upgrade changes on the car.

I'm now considering it, especially since I do like the fact that you can switch back to the 'stock' settings with ease.

Default Not getting all worked up, in fact, didnt even read your post...no worries...

I saw your general post about getting APR which is awesome, and then I saw some one ask about the 6speed tip version...thats all.

Default Re: :P ic ic ... so basically all they did was reprogram ur ecu?

Look at the previous reply, though. Is there really no one out there with CVT running this thing?

Cheers!

Default Go check out www.goapr.com

But yes, boost is raised, top speed limiter is removed, gas MPG increases 1-2 MPG among other things....
