Bit of an old thread revival..lolSo, got APR Stage 1 last week. It was 23 deg. in Glasgow and 26 deg. in the dyno room so a bit hot and the car pushed 302.5HP & 300.3 ft-lbs with zero mods (well, snow grate is out), not too bad.
They recommended the low torque map to avoid clutch slip as I’ve not 100% decided to do the TCU software yet but said I could flash the high torque map later for free if I wanted, so I played safe.
Heat soak was becoming a problem but an hour later and it’s now just under 370HP (368.9HP) & 385.1 ft-lbs on the low torque 98 RON map and it’s so much better to drive. The power above 2500rpm is crazy but it’s actually smoother when taking it easy, very impressed.
And...when I went to pay I discovered there’s a 20% discount until the end of the month, Bonus!
Here’s the but, now I’m thinking of the TCU software again..and a bit more torque
Is it worth it for the TCU? Thoughts?
How are you getting on with the APR tune mate?
I have found a local dealer selling these tunes. Been quoted £695 for the tune and they recommend aTCU tune for £625. Is this a reason able price?
Cheers buddy
