Default Performance test with VAG-COM?

Anyone out there done a torque and hp test with a VAG-COM on an APR chipped 2004 allroad 2.7T? I did this morning and got disturbing results. I have an APR chip so I decided to do a comparison of chipped mode vs. stock. Results? Stock and chip were virtually identical for hp and torque! Has anyone else experienced this?

Until today I hadn't really compared the two settings, but now I think that there is a problem with the programming. Either it didn't "take", or the dealer flashed my ECU.

it should be pretty obvious when you drive the car if it's right.

Default Either it's user error, or possibly APR programmed the same program twice (Stock and Chipped)

As yzf996fltri and paulroad indicated, the difference is drastic...

The values for both programs are: max HP = ~270 and Toque = ~270. I found a thread earlier that documented similar numbers for 2.7T that wasn't chipped. Makes me believe that I have two "stock" programs.

I am taking the car back to the installer (Autosport Werks in Broomfield, CO) next week to have it looked at.

Default Just doing road test on my 02

the apr 91 program was 1.5 sec quicker to 60
and 7.5 sec quicker to 100. and with one of the window g meters it showing 324hp, but then it did show 280 with the stock program. all this was at sea level. here at 6k you only notice that the tip-in was quicker, and in snow it was alway in to the TC.
I'm now living with a new ECM and the car is a slug even compaired to the old stock ECM,
But I do get great milage up from 18 to 22, that by the computer, in real life it's still 18.
My APR two program stock/91 is up for grabs.

Why are you giving up the APR programming?

Default The dynobutt difference is drastic

for me.. Perhaps you are not making the program change correctly? You are waiting until the CEL does its rapid flash?

I am definitely waiting for the rapid flash. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that the programming is incorrect.
