Default They've been telling me that a Tip exhaust is in the works for the last 3 years...

IOW... They will say what they think you want to hear.

APR is a great company and I love their chip. I'm just glad that I did not hold my breath for the exhaust....

Default I know for a FACT that some APR cars ping, my friend in Pheonix, AZ has pinging bad...

so much so he just runs his stock ECU. He is very lazy, i keep telling him to send it to APR to have them send him something that will handle heat better.

Cheers

Default Juice.... get the GIAC

I have a giac and it's awesome. APR's is nice, but with my FWD, the GIAC kicks.

GIAC programs are written on cali 91 octane, and APR has a 91 octane specific program.

Default Pinging and Detonation are the same thing..They both are the result

of the fuel mixture burning prior to the spark plug firing. The "loudness" is a function of load and severity of detonation. Louder is more likely to punch hole in piston, but any is bad.

Default He is new, he's been there about 2 weeks I believe.

He's a real nice guy, and quite knowledgable about cars and such, but he's still getting a feel for the products and the issues involved in the Audi community. He'll be a master soon enough, i'm sure!
