Default Just got 3.3 Version of APR Rogram

Hey everyone!! I just got my APR chip upgraded today to version 3.3. All I have to say is WOW!! I have a 2001.5 S4 with the M box and for the longest time I wasn't getting all out of the APR chip. A friend of mine who has a 2000 S4 with the same program (93 Octane) used to pull ALOT harder than me!!! It felt like my vehicle was losing power at around 3500RPMs and regained power at around 5500RPMs. Ever since upgarding to 3.3 my car is like a totally different vehicle. It pulls just as hard as my friends. The power delivery is very smooth and constant all throughout the RPM range. Also fixed is the Check engine light flashing when using the flipswitch. Now the light blinks at a nice, easy to read pace. Everyone should upgrade to version 3.3 especially those owners of 2001 S4s with the M box ECU!

What software version were you running before your upgrade? 3.2?

Yes, v3.3 is a real shot in the arm for the M box folks. Strong and smooth.

Default Ask the distributor who burned the chip, or APR.

I keep records on all my APR clients. I know what version software they have, what day it was burned on, what serial number chip they have, how many programs/options, the access code, and what their ECU part# is. Detailed records save the day down the road...
