APR Reflash - Mk V Golf GTI

[leasaunce]

well I got it chipped (polo with 70km on the clock) from APR Mona Vale 2 days ago. Seriously its insanely quick! got several other options with no extra $$$. Sales ends this month

Thread revival. Re-flash is back on the agenda. I'm located Dandenong South and want a local re-seller to talk to. Sick of going the other side of town for my mods - I'm obviously lacking commitment.

GIAC, APR, Bluefin and can anyone update me on the UK product ST3. Feedback from MkV GTI owners who have done the mods would be great.

Thanks guys.

Hi mate.

Just had a read through on your thread. If youre worried about how the tune will perform why not get together with some local members who have had their upgrades done. Im in east bentleigh and could organise a run in a GIAC tuned car if you like. Maybe there are some APR owners on board who would be willing to help out as well?

If youre after a dyno run. We are actually in the process of organising a dyno day in melbourne towards the end of next month. There will be GIAC tunes available on the day and no doubt you will be able to see a couple of GIAC, APR and Bluefin cars run to see if you consider their tunes safe.

If you require any further info just shoot me an email to tim@dubaddiction.com.au

Great idea re having a run in a car. I'll drop you an email shortly.

APR tuned cars in the SE suburbs? Anyone want to take me for a test drive? Any comments?

Cheers.

Have had my jetta done for almost a year now and it's still going strong without any faults . Have left it on the program since day one and it's great. Have the same motor and gbox as the gti so it's a direct comparison. Power and torque change you can feel without the need for dyno, but like the sound of a dyno run in the near future. Am in western suburbs but would be happy to take you for a spin if noone else wants to. Let me know how you go

Crapping pants with excitement

Have done my research also and it seems like a no brainer to go with APR
Called Dean at VW Power and he was very helpful, I cant wait to head down to download some NM's and KW's.
And with the gearbox - Some of the DSG's in the states are copping more than 300 kw's and no reports of failures which is damn good news to us looking at a minor 190kw.

Just had my car re-tuned with the APR map last night
Dean at Volkspower is (edit: WAS) an absolute champion and from what I can see has all the time in the world for his customers.
If any one is 'considering' this mod, just go do it! Very happy with the gains and I will soon compare the acceleration figures before and after the mod

Cant wait to drive my GTI again!!!!!!

Hey Adzy,

Out of interest, are you running stock with just the APR Stage 1 tune?

Or do you have other mods on the car too?

Sorry for late reply mate,
Yes the car is totally stock apart from the APR S1 tune. She has 8000k on the clock too.

Goddamn!!! I thought a tune would maybe knock half a sec off stock 0-100 time.. That clip has really got me druelling now.

I wouldn't get those times in my Jetta though... Doesn't have launch control since it's an 06 model

All I can say is that vid has made me want this mod even more now, so thanks for helping me blow my mod budget!
