APR 2+ with HFC and HPFP results

[Reggie Dunlap]

Hi all, Looking for responses on performance numbers both HP and TQ on above setup.

[Reggie Dunlap]

funny how everyone well lots of folks opens the link but nobody has anything to say?....there has to be something out there yes? If I am missing it please direct me in the right direction.

Thx

Alright ill say it.. take a whack at the search bar sometime..

The APR tune was first written in 06/07, check out JHM I have the Stage 2 91 it was recently written and embarrasses the APR stage 2+ I previously had.

I have APR 2+, and the investment in hardware to go from stage 1 to 2+ just wasn't worth it.

[oVeRdOsE]

Numbers make the chip sell.

I've contacted APR, and they never dyno their software on the 2.0 fsi.

This is a huge flaw in their sales. Not only me but many people that I know, let APR go because of this. They went with united or unitronic.

It will be in their benefit to add numbers ( or estimate) since those B7 are out of warranty and many people will upgrade the software now.

[Reggie Dunlap]

completely agree and I as able to get this.....we have hundreds of files written for that set up so there is not just one graph to represent them all???? Agreed hurts the potential sale between stage 1 and K04

[thenofjboy]

what setup are you running right now?

As others have said, lots of people go with JHM, GIAC, United, unitronic etc VS APR. APR's tunes are known to be on the more conservative side.

[Reggie Dunlap]

APR stage 1 pretty straight forward.

[Jake@JHM]

Our stage software is a pretty big bang for the buck. Plus stage 2 is a free update, program switching is included, and launch assist is a free feature for manual transmissions!

If i had moneys for jhm i would switch from my APR stage 2 in a heartbeat. Ive never liked how the throttle feels

interesting. please describe.

It fells like WOT isnt full power.

Like 3/4 throttle feels like theres more power

[Snowboardguy989]

I had APR2+ and there is no balls after the initial torque spike. It has a great torque spike but it falls flat by 5500. The JHM was such a huge jump that kept pulling until the redline. I have started to consider BBK as my next mod because I am coming up to my normal corners with way more speed then before.

this is normal with the k03, it can achieve the pressure + air flow @ high rpm.
My peak boost is 24 psi around 4500-5300, then it goes down to 17-18 psi to red line.
probably the tune got a ''protection''. High pressure = high temperature. If you add more flow at high temp ( high rpm) not sure for the engine on stock intercooler....

Unitronic stage 2.

This is why I miss my vq30de. this v6 push all the time. Way less hp for better 1/4 miles.

That is how I feel about my revo tune, both stage 1 and 2.

Its pretty disappointing

[torrque]

I think JHM stage 1 + HFC is a pretty good combo, no need for stage 2 for street... It's as good or better than APR stage 2+... Had that on my Audi A3 before... mind you was quicker as it was a smaller lighter car, but no quicker than the JHM stage 1

My 2 cents

They have dyno numbers on their website...

That's due to the non-linear throttle pedal map. ¾ pedal actually give you 90% throttle, so pushing the pedal that last ¼ only give you a small increase in throttle.

Its weird feeling though

Yep. That's one of the things JHM fixes with their tune. They have a linear map, so it feels like it should. I run a linear pedal map in maestro also.

Im jelly, i need this oil leak to be fixed first though. FML, hopefully itll all go on monday

car is back its APR stage2+ and honestly it really smoothed out the cars acceleration nicely especially from a start. no delay in spooling up.....very nice difference and useful for everyday driving. Agree with most, difference between stage one price and 2 plus is a big jump but its way cheaper than buying a new car :).....so money well invested. One man's opinion.

Enjoy your rides!

I agree I did notice a improvement in the acceleration and feels that it smoothed out the band with a little extra on the top end; I did also add a FMIC at the same time.
