Polo GTI APR ECU Upgrade

[gavs]

Bump for an update from Guy? Has there been any further progress RE tune and expected launch date? Also launch costs?

[Guy_H]

We are just waiting on final pricing & the web page stuff for stage 1, hope to have it by weeks end.

Stage 2 is progressing well, Intercooler prototyping finished, currently being tested, exhaust prototype fabrication started at 8-00am this morning.

O'h, intake as well

Thanks for the update Guy. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing pricing and the final performance numbers (not so sure my bank balance is quite as happy!)

Matter of interest, any idea if APR are planning on handling/suspension mods? Sway bars in particular.

Wait till you see what we have in store, sway bar wise! I think you will like what you see.

We have some mono tube dampers / springs, camber mods - all will be installed next week, along with Alcons & OZ Racing wheels.

Prototype exhaust finished today, off to the signwriters tonight, air intake prototyping & dyno testing stage 2 is Monday.

Poor car now has 800km's on it!

Is that all?! Your not enjoying it enough guy, I'm willing to put some development kms on it on some of the best driving roads in the country just near my house if you feel like sending down here until I get my own... yes, that was a blatant plea

I'm waiting to see all the pricing too. I get my Polo next week!

It has a 1100 km drive to Wakefield in ten days time. A certain V8 supercar driver is doing some laps in it, that should see it well & truly run in.

What day/time? That's only an hour or so to drive for me, wouldn't mind having a peek.

Tuesday 5th April - hope to see you there!

Already requested the day off work so will definitely be there. Loving what I see in the latest photos on the Facebook page. Going to be hard to resist the urge to get it modified as soon as I get the car.

That all sounds like modification goodness to me and I guess I'd better start saving my pennies!

Any further word on when Stage1 will be available and details up on the website? Any further updates on the other Stage2 mods and how they're progressing? You know you've got people (well at least one) checking the APR site at least once a day to see if there are updates?

Make that two. Picked up my 5 door Polo GTI yesterday. It's great. After it's been APR'ed it will be amazing. Excellent bang for buck.

Had the Qantas valet parking mistake it for a Golf this morning

4 hours on the dyno this morning with Stage 2 - new suspension in last night & just finished the new wheels / clearance / alignment just now. We have learn't a huge amount about this car & the engine in the past 4 weeks & made considerable, repeatable gains - its an awesome beast now!

Thanks for the update Guy,
All those mods look really, really expensive dude...but awesome!
When will the prices be up on the web site? Hopefully, I can afford at least a Stage 1 ECU upgrade?
Will you post a review with all that you have done?
