Congrats dude!:clap:

Enjoy but dont lose your license!:burnrubber:

BTW you will have to start saving for exhaust now! You will notice a few flat spots, these will go when you add exhaust!:thumbup:

what does a chip upgrade do to fuel consumption ?

much increase (assuming you drive the same) ?

I found I got better fuel consumption, as its got more torque and is more responsive and driveable!:thumbsup:

[EOD_ron]

Gas mileage goes down because it's sooooo fun gettin' on that shit!

hey there yeh i did a lil run afetr going for a drive to homebush bay to watch tennis and went from 3000rpm in 3rd just for you lol and i got about 4.5-5.5 seconds somewhere in there its hell fast in midrange :biggrin:

[srbsta]

same here and i only had it for about 3 hours now and been driving like mad and my average consumption is about 9-10 L/100km so it great but if i did that when i was stock man i would have about 15L/100km so yeh i love it

[srbsta]

BTW ppl i will post something cool 2morrow when i have time coz i dont think it has been posted b4 so yeh :biggrin:

As I understand it, the APR chip tune is undetectable with vagcom therefor warranty voidance is not an issue.. is this correct?

I'm considering having the apr tune done to my tdi. Its not listed on their website, but the do tune TDI's as well. SImilar performance increase (both in power and torque) to what the gti's are getting. The increased MPG is also widely documented in the TDI forums from these sorts of chip tuning.

Oh well.. 2nd baby due in march so I'tl be a few months yet before the $$ accrue to allow this little luxury :)

I think the TDI flash is still Oettinger (also distributed by Harding Performance & mostly the same dealers) - not aware of APR having their own TDI flash - Guy will know though :)

ok here is the link for the thing i said i was gona post 2 day hope you like coz i like

VW Climatronic Readouts

[ACT_GTI07]

Awesome, there seems to be some info on other forums about it as well. Although not as compelte a list of codes. Now if only there was a way to get "true speed" from down there onto the multi function display. Now that would be awesome. Apparently pressing the other directional aircon buttons bring up other diag menus as well.

[Lima]

Thank you, but it has been posted before. :thumbsup:

[ACT_GTI07]

There is more if you do a search for the 'bunch of easter eggs' thread.

[dtvburns]

[srbsta]

[srbsta]

btw dont worry about the trial it will just kill you after the 6hours thats what it did 2 me bcz the car is feels soooo diff and slow after it hahahaha

[Hong Chau]

i heard the avg age of GTI owners were mid 40's.
i'm 24, which would bring it down a bit.

HAHAHA. nice one.
i financed $15000 of mine. could've paid full price, but couldn't. ( for taxation purposes):thumbup:

well i read in MOTOR a while ago that the top 10 cars involved crashes were all cars that nanna's would drive. NOT a SINGLE sports car in the top 10.
the car in the no. 1 spot was a mazda 626.
so i think the argument that young ppl cause car accidents because of these high powered cars is bullshit. but then again there are arrogant drivers out there.

[blackgti06]

i have a neuspeed intake not cai i dont like the cai that much.

[aussiegti]

hehehehe got my lil TUNED sticker :biggrin:

Mate..............You know you can do one better and get a "APR Tuned" badge.

http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/vw%20golfmk5/badges.html

Might be a bit expensive. But no point pulling out at the last minute.

[mister_duck]

So still liking APR nik ?:lol:

[franjae]

I still cannot imagine wanting more power through the front wheels, though some said they get less wheelspin with the flash.......can't see why or how. Anyone out there who can explain this technically?

[James G]

i wouldn't say less, but you have more respect and control via responciveness.

I think it would be fine up until 300whp when you start getting into silly numbers really

[srbsta]

fuck me hahahah

[samps]

Speak to Dean at Volkspower about overtaking at Phillip Island with 400+ HP on tap :)

[JTW]

how come you can drive a turbo on your P's?...

[mister_duck]

this thread is over 2 yrs old and back then you could drive a turbo car on your P's. Nik is no longer on his P's

o right, well i'll have to settle for an r32.

[G-rig]

^I don't know how you'll cope, just do a turbo kit when you're off your P's :lol:.

mmmm, i'll just have to put up with it in the time being i guess... mmmmmmm AWD 3.2 ltr turbocharged goodness:drool:

[bwen]

o right, well i'll have to settle for an r32.

oh you know, i guess that will have to do... :lol:

I was at Harbour Town at the Coast on the weekend and parked next to a R32 with red P plates!

[G-rig]

R32's are the better car anyway JTW, not as common as dogs balls (that should wake a few people up at work).

hahahah waiting for Tim to come up with something now

[JTW]

haha yeah, im on my red P plate's too unfortunatly, really looking forward to putting getting this car into action, i think my car blew a block bearing last night running up the mountains last night so it's going to the mech's tomorrow and seeing whats wrong then hopefully i'll just go straight to the VW dealer after:thumbsup:

[G-rig]

I would have talked them into a 330i or 135i myself, :lol:

[srbsta]

you slack bastards lol

[JTW]

damn rich punk kids.. daddys money?

NOOOO!! not 1 cent of it would be daddy's money!
just a good job and hard work!!!

[G-rig]

what's with this 2yo thread mister_duck?

JTW when you're off your P's you can supercharge or turbo it quite easily.

[Androo]

WHY OH WHY!

AWD & a nice racket.... buy yourself a GTI, or wait till u get of your Ps.

Why drink and drive, when you can boost and understeer :yikes:

[G-rig]

They don't call the R32 King of the golf's for nothing.
Just get a shitter till you're off your P's IMO.

[Androo]

The kings the queens bitch.

[G-rig]

The king doesn't like front wheel drive.

[Androo]

The king is front wheel drive, he starts to slip... then the other leg kicks in but its too late and he falls over and hurts himself.

[TimT]

They don't call the R32 King of the golf's for nothing.


Correct!
Long live the overweight king!
