Default Got my APR ecu upgrade today!!!

Let me say that those who have described their expericence with the APR upgrade are spot on!!! The acceleration is very noticable on my 6 speed quattro. The power band is very linear with no flat spots. The car just pulls and pulls hard. I would say the torque matches my old V8 Mercedes Benz CLK 430!!!! I highly recommend this type of performance upgrade on your your A4 2.0T. $$$ well spent!!!

Default Can't wait!!!

Going to the H2O International in Ocean City, MD in September... I can't wait!!!!! Are you getting the stock program when it comes out? That's one reason I'm waiting.

Default If you purchase one program now....

You will get the second program free when switching is released.

We are running our B7s with 98 octane fuel (Scandinavia), does APR have a program for that as well? How much more torque and HP is there available compared to 93oct program?

Default AKI vs RON

I suspect that in your country (like most of the rest of the world) they measure octane ratings on the RON scale.

In the US, we use AKI.

AKI tends to run 4-5 points lower than RON. It's the same amount of octane, just a different measuring scale.

98 RON would roughly equate to 93 AKI.

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating">Ok, that explains it.</a> I guess I can go with the US spec program then. The other option would be the 245hp MTM chip, but I prefer APR's direct port programming over replacing the original ECU with MTM.
