Sak: I don't mind the discussion @ all - always better to have more info out there than not. I didn't realize that CircuitTested was just a one-man operation. His posts always refer to "we" and "our," so that's how I made my assumption.

At the end of the day, though, I'm still glad I went w/ the Milltek - love the way my car sounds. Good thing I got in on it before the price increase - think it's like $2700 now!

Def agree on the pulley testing - APR should have tested the pulley on DSGs before releasing it. They are a great company, but that's kind of a big slip-up, IMO.

To be fair the issues with APR and the pulley happened only to a subset of cars:

Had to be 2010, and had to be DSG. Scott had his done the same time I did and has not had any issues with his 2011, nor any other 2011's.

Very informative, sakimano. I think I'll keep my exhaust money in my pocket for a while yet. If you hear any perfomance/flow numbers please share!

Agreed. And kudos to them for swiftly solving the problem. I just think they should have tested a DSG car before releasing it.

They probably did, but likely it was a 2011 rather than a 2010.

Perhaps, but I think that's still unclear @ this point. Arin didn't address this when I asked him on AZ whether they tested on any DSG car.

If you have 361 HP at the wheels, your quarter mile time could not possibly be 12.1. Simple physics would prevent a 4000lb car from acheiving this!!!

Actually it's better than that. Best time was a 12.0xx . . .

You should do a bit more research before speaking next time. Plenty of timeslips and video from Ron to prove your assumption incorrect.

I love that it is possible to get these numbers out of the car but it is not physically possible to run a 12 second quarter mile with 360 hp and a 4000lb + car, Either the quarter mile reading is wrong or the dyno is wrong.
