Default Well APR has their dealer flashing tool out

Looks awesome, and a price drop to boot. No more sending the ECU in to APR now.

That's only an introductory sale price.

hey way to go! just in time for nobody to need a tune!
  • 1500 APR cars already tuned
  • REVO killing APR performance and offering flashing for 6 months
  • GIAC offering flashing as well
  • TD1/T10 scaring people away from tuning their cars

Yep, APR got the dealer flashing out just in time!

LOL! Let me know when there is an 11 second Revo car... Oh and my ECU doesn't mind road trips... Let me know time and place in the MW or East and we can test the first part of your statement... Revo better hurry I'll be running a bigger blower soon

On a side note I think my ecu is going to miss Opelika as it's been there many many times... lol

So, how long does the upgrade process take? I have an APR dealer five minutes from my work and if I can drop it off in the morning and pick up later in the day, I may have to seriously consider. :-)

Except that Revo is messing with knock sensitivity, GIAC isn't significantly more popular than APR, and you can always flash back to stock to avoid a TD1/T10 (This has been available at APR dealerships for a while), and now you can flash right back at your dealer after taking it to the dealership for service.

Reason why this took so long is that they designed this thing to accomodate more than just the SIMOS in the B8 V6T. It's modular and will allow them to get dealership hardware unlocking out for future ECUs much faster, no soldering or desoldering required.

dude your ECU should have enough points to fly the entire family first class to Hong Kong...cousins too!

as for running 11s, the stage 1 revo cars have lit it up. Not sure 12.2-12.3-12.4 with just a tune has been matched by any APR car.
