If you guys could please at least wait till after Christmas to tempt me with the rest of the goods on offer from APR, that would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

Had my car tuned this morning by Muller and Muller at Lakemba NSW, took about 30 mins to be done.
I chose to uploaded only 98 Ron tune as I don't think other maps would be necessary to me.
It took me 40 mins drive before I arrived at the work shop therefore I can feel the difference after the tune at instance.

First impressions:

Low end torque is increased.
Throttle response became more active (especially during below 3000 rpm)
DSG shudder at 1st and 2nd gear almost gone ( this is what surprised me the most as I didn't tune the DSG)
Much more smoother standing start as for a dry clutch gear box

I only drive my car in manual shift mode, and I always keep the gear longer before upshift. (e.g I normally stay in 4th gear at 60km/h even just during daily cruise)
At this stage I couldn't really tell how much quicker the car turned out to be as I only drove 20kms after the tune, but by my experiences and the feeling on the drive, I guess it will be half second or so quicker to hit from 0-100.

I used to tuned my FG XR6 turbo as well as evo 7, both ECU flash only, increased on Horsepower, but not much on drive. However APR tune gave me a whole different experience that a single tune can make such big difference. So hands up and cheers to APR guys!

The only shame today is that there is no dyno available at Muller and Muller therefore I didn't know the before and after figure of fwkw. However Mark from Muller and Muller was a great guy and very helpful, he was from Harding Performance in Brisbane.

So far I am very happy with APR tune on my MY13.5 POLO GTI, CTH engine. Will update to your guys later when I had more driving experience with the tune done.

Next step, I am looking into a HP C.A.I, Milltek downpipe, maybe a intercooler afterwards. Is there any thoughts on these mods?

Regards,

Enoch

Jake is at Eurocare as of the 12th January I understand - and a second Perth distributor starting late January.

Any news on the Perth distributors?
Looking at giving the Gti a little more oomph soon.

Yes, the Eurocare boys are up & running, working and distributing all our products.

I've delt with Elite Euro and they were great. Looks like I will be getting mine fitted there. Will they be selling the Air intakes etc...
