All I said was that the "stock calibration" tune from APR was for all intensive purposes the same as factory stock performance wise. It has been said in the past that this may not be the case but based on the dyno and performance testing I have done there is no funny tricks being played.
Other than that, I'm not getting into any ABC vs XYZ tune argument.
Haha.... Nah, I have had APR for over 2 years now, and regularly see 21/22psi on my gauge.
I looked at about 6 chipping companies before settling on what I got, and I really can't fault the customer service I have had with it...
Whatever you go with, you will be very happy!!

How do you get 22psi on your Program, have you done anything extra
I took someone for a ride in my Gti with a manual boost controller and APR tune, it gets a few extra psi, peaks at about 20, and they said it feels a lot quicker than their APR tuned polo with similar mods
Sounds like you're enjoying it - if you've just gone for the trial, you can also consider trying out tunes from other companies to see which you prefer more.
Nah got the full deal, was thinking about trying others but after reading the pains people were going thru, didn't phase me much..
Love the security lockout feature, didn't quite understand how it worked until today, doesn't show up until you enter your pin number in
(combination of 4 digits using the set button and on off switch)
With 2.5 yrs warranty, thats a handy feature
2016 Golf R, APR Stage 1
2010 Polo GTI 9n3, 4 Program APR Tune, PD160, White line front and rear sway bar
That Polo def has more than just a tune, prob K04 and a few other little things.
I do agree, from what i have read the GIAC is more aggressive, but blowing away an APR Golf with just a tune, not to sure there.
One thing i have noticed is the cars a bit more fuel economical now due to the low down torque, averaging about 7.9 - 8.1 on my daily commute, use to average about 8.4 doing the exact same trip with stock map.
My right foots been fairly heavy since friday and im still averaging about 8.5 - 9 amazingly

ummm..... did you watch the video?
there were 4 Golf GTI's.
3 MKV's all with GIAC stg2 and a MK6 with APR stg2.
If you want to hide the fact youre cars chipped couldn't you buy a second ecu and have the APR map on that one and when you take the car for servicing/warranty claims switch back in the original ecu with the stock vw tune? or is this too expensinve

AFAIK you can't just drop in a new ECU for a newer car, as it's coded to the chassis / other systems at the factory. Quite aside from the fact that physical tampering with the ECU or its mount would be a dead giveaway that a car's been tuned.
