    What do you notice the most? Response? Power figures? I've been thinking about getting it too but I'm worried my gears with shorten. I feel they are short already n fear with more power I'll be changing faster.
    much better response and the turbo just pulls so much stronger. i noticed a 0.2 bar increase in boost after the tune.
    car feels the same when you feather the throttle, but give it a little push and the car just takes off. WOT just puts a smile on your face...i also noticed that the exhaust sounds louder as well.
    i would say, just go for it! totally worth it mate!

      Haha u didn't really address my concern about the gears becoming shorter hehe I drive manual, I'm guessing it might not be a problem in DSG? I got my resignator deleted a month ago, (not that much louder), so what u say about the exhaust has me intrigued

      How much was ur tune if I may ask?

            Came in here to say the same thing haha. Really surprised with how well it goes now. Mine is manual and the biggest increase I noticed was torque. Really fun to drive now. Admittedly I only drove it from the car yard to Harding performance before hand but have driven my sisters 77tsi as well. Wheels go on tomorrow, coilovers Monday.

                    • Its official:

                      APR Presents the 1.2 TSI upgrade!

                      Now it's big kudo's to the 5 APR engineers involved directly here in Australia, and to the many involved back at HQ.

                      My task in this was to supply 9 different Polo & Golf 1.2 TSI's over 4 weeks for the calibrators - that was plenty for me to do. And now pay for the Dyno & fan electricity bill

                      • Bbs LM's, AP coilovers, tint, APR tune. Thats all I've done this week. This weekend I'll get a few little dings looked at (last time I buy a second hand car), debadge it, get bluetooth installed, maybe a resonator delete and lower it another 15/20mm. Fun little run around. Cant recommend the APR tune enough. Traction control lights up in first with 215's.

                          I got my resonator deleted a month ago, it's very subtle. Sounds good on cold start but goes back to normal once warmed up. Most u will hear is quick kick revs in neutral from 900-1400 revs other than that it's very much like before

                            • Rears are maxed except for collars and cbf doing that in a car park. Fronts are down another 15mm. Might sell these wheels to buy an 8inch to stretch the tyre a bit so I can lower it more. Buying an ez lip soon too.



                              Also so parked next to my sisters tsi with sports pack. Big difference.
