Anyone know if the stage 2 tune was ever revised to tweak out the flat spot? Looking to have my DP installed soon...lol

Some impressive figures coming out of the APR Stage 1 on the new golf 7 GTI.
APR tune released 316hp and 380tq. For those of us more metrically-minded, those figures are 235kw and 516Nm at the fly, on 98 RON. WHOA.
Is this the same engine that's in the occy 3 rs?Comment

APR Stage 1 (MKV/VI) is a bit flat at the top endOriginally posted by NOO63N View Post
APR Stage 2 (with DP) has no flat spot - more go from lower rpm all the way to red line - it's awesome
The other possibility is that you may have early signs of a col pack on the way out2012.1 Skoda Octavia VRS DSG Wagon - Carbonio cold air intake and pipe - HPA Motorsports BBK 355mm rotors 6 pot calipers
APR Stage II ECU - APR 3" exhaust down pipe & high flow catalyst

Yup....exact same engine.Originally posted by donweather View Post
And unlike with the mk2 vRS, they haven't detuned it for the mk3 vRS.

Haven't detuned it as stock? I thought the Mk3 RS was only 162kW stock?Originally posted by dArK5HaD0w View Post
Those APR figures are mind blowing, but again, FWD is gonna be a tough ask to push all that power through.Comment

Mk2 vRS was always 5kw less than the equivalent GTI. Mk3 appears to have equal power to GTI.Originally posted by donweather View Postcarandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

I have recently finished my exhaust so I now have a full 3" TBE... Spoke to John @ Tigersoft again as I was having a few little teething issues but after the latest tune, things appear to be alooottt smoother.... Very happy...
Can definitely recommend getting in touch with John @ Tigersoft if your looking at bluefin as his service is second to none... Also has a quality dog to play with if you ever visit him...Comment

Have noticed recently my bluefinned RS appears to be lacking some grunt down low in 2nd gear. Just doesn't seem to have the push you back into the seat that it used to have down low in 2nd gear. Could this just be the warmer weather in Qld now? Or something else with the remap/engine?Comment

its probably a combination of you getting used to it, and the weather warming up.Comment

Whilst I might be getting used it it, the car def doesn't pull as hard....noticeably less torque steer in low 2nd....so it's not just me getting used to it.Originally posted by zei20t View Post
I have a question. It appears to have occured around the same time as I got my LCA's fixed. Could the place where I got my LCA's fixed have also reset my ECU back to stock or detuned it somewhat? (No it wasn't a dealer....just a VAG and other Euro car mechanic place).Comment

No reason to disconnect battery even if it was the most cautious mech in the world. Even battery disconnect doesn't remove the tune.
You wouldn't be getting sticky vains in the turbo would you?carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

Dtuk Vrs Octavia
Hi Guys,
Sorry to hi jack but I think it's some what relevant, I recently installed DTuk on my TDI Vrs and have put to map 3.+2.
Do you guys that have a tune gone on limp mode before? Over last week I had this issue where while I was driving and gave full throttle on the move to over take and yellow flashing sign appears on the dash(not ASC/traction control). Immediately felt the car was not accelerating while i step on the gas pedal seems like limp mode. Car works fines still can drive but it is as if turbo was switched off. The error code disappears when I switched the car off and on back.
Anyone have this experience?Comment
