stage 1 chip upgrade for golf gti mkv

[Tim]

Everyones dyno seems to read different but if you want a figure we normally see around 165kw at the front wheels on a stage 2 car which translates to around 190 - 195kw at the fly.
It will always depend on the health of your car and what other supporting mods you do. Some cars are healthier than others.

To put it in perspective most stage 1 tunes pull 150kw at the wheels. Which would translate to around 170kw at the flywheel maybe?

A stock car will usually pull around 125 - 130kw at the wheels.

The problem you get with advertised power is that the company claimng the highest figure wont necessarily make the most power.

Here is some data for you - don't forget the sale on until the end of the month!

I think I might just go with the APR tune as I've had good feedback from friends that they are quality and worth the money.
I mean I love my car and I want the best for it aswell.

Sounds good to me.

I could post up some oversized images of stylised dyno plots to make you feel warm and fuzzy but hows about we talk about some of the benefits we have to offer instead

Unlike some, with GIAC we wont tie you into using a particular brand of supporting hardware.
Say for example you were to get a stage 1 flash now and in 6 months time you managed to pick up a second hand downpipe at a price that is too hard to pass up. The upgrade to a stage 2 file is still totally free.This is something that you should always confirm with your tuner before committing to their product.

Dont need map switching? Thats fine we dont include it as standard to save you money. We can however add it as an option with switching available by our handheld flashloader or our flashloader wireless bluetooth dongle/android app.

7 day money back guarantee. If youre unhappy within 7 days we can return your car back to 100% stock as it was.

Our ethos is simple.
No smoke - No mirrors. Just factory smooth tunes, aggressive performance and prices that allow us to sleep at night.

Appologies for the apparent hard sell but it seems you have to speak up a little here to get heard over all the background noise.

Anyways feel free to give me a buzz on 0411 380 529 to discuss further. We are based in Springvale on the princes hwy so not too far from you out in Narre. Ill also be at the workshop late tomorrow night doing a stage 2 bundle on a MK6 GTI so if you need afterhours attention cos you work during the day that is also not a problem at all.

I suppose every tuner could post in every thread sprouting their wares, that would add (from what I have added up) 17 extra "vendor" comments to every thread. I'm sure the OP has done his homework & can make an informed decision helped out by the non commercial posters (actual people using the product). If he wants help on APR software - he can ask - If he want's help with your products, I'm sure he can ask you also

Only if they were sponsors. The sponsors also have their own section, so they can post there and post the link in the thread's posts instead.
I agree, anyone who wants the extra performance from their car should do their homework and read the forum in the depth and ask many questions.

It would be best for every tuner to post in every thread instead of people assuming there is only 1 choice.

That's why there is the sponsor section, to keep it all in one place.

You guys need to get a room ....

Yeah, but not for many other members.
It would be a big mess and only place where people would argue every day.

Hi guys,

Just wondering how much gains i would get from a chip upgrade in terms of kw, and is it worth it?

You will see bugger all difference between any of the off the shelf tunes.

Ignore the peak numbers and stylised dyno charts. Look at the detail and reviews posted by owners.

You might want to consider the overall package offered, support provided, warranty, hardware options, dealer availability, hand held devices, the price ....

Enjoy whatever you get.

They already have.

Im not sure why you are singling me out but perhaps if you feel that way you should delete your posts above and post them in the sponsors section.
Just making the OP aware of what we have to offer. As ive said no hard sell. Just some clear facts outlining the GIAC option

[Candyman]

LOL, I and most of the members here were probably thinking a room with sound proofing on the interweb

Edit - still, entertaining on a slow sick day at home

Banter among tuners does little to help you make a decision as to which one you go with.

In my opinion, forget raw kW numbers and choose a tune that offers factory like drivability. And yes, a quality tune is worth it.
