Re: Poll.. Those with APR... like or dislike and why. Thanks
Only had it for 3 days but I love the fact that I can switch between programs so easily. And retain and lock out the program.
But I hate the fact that right the power delivery is not smooth on the highway.
Not sure if that is the software's fault, the fact that the flash did not take properly or that something is turning up bad with my car when higher boost levels are introduced. Because it runs great (but slower) when I revert it back to stock mode.
Could it be a boost leak, a bad DV (I have a 2004 so I should have the TT225) a MAF issue.
I don't know.
But I am going to start by having the program reflashed onto the car on Monday and see where that takes me.
Hope some of that helps.

Here are #'s before chip. Maybe I needed another reflash it only would have been the third one.

Re: Am I reading this correctly to mean that you actually lost a bit of hp with the APR chip meaning

Re: First Graph
That was my best APR pull after having it in the car for a month.
That was my best GIAC pull, they pulled the ECU while the car was on the dyno 20 minutes later ecu back in and that was the very first pull.
I really feel like these numbers are right around the corner for my car though. Ahhh wishful thinking.. Red is a stock S4 pull.

bhvdr quick question if you do not mind
I know you are running MTM Stage 3. Are they using a slightly modified KO4-15 for that kit?
Have you done any research or spoken to anyone about the KO4-23? I only saw it mentioned once in this forum and that was some time ago..
I actually was looking at a K-16 turbo the other day. Nasty looking little K0-3 it is. Two of them going onto an S4. Man that 2.7T is a tight engine to get into.
Are you an MD?
