Nice job guys - got my original thread closed. Please keep this on-topic. If you want to sling mud simply start your own fucking thread.

Here is the dyno chart with my best baseline run from yesterday on APR tuning and a good run from today. My first run today hit 316WHP but it had some issues (maybe clutch slip) so Bronson thinks it's best to toss that one out. I P-chopped the lines off the chart. My goal was to make this as fair a comparison as possible of what APR's off the shelf tune does compared to what DM can do with some customization. The only hardware difference is a 3bar MAP sensor ($40) that I swapped in last night in 20min. I got baseline runs with APR yesterday at about 4pm and comparison runs with DM today around noon. Same dyno, same temp, just slightly more humid today because it was overcast and we had some light rain. if anything the humidity would have hurt the DM results slightly.
I'll let Bronson chime in on the tweaks he made but I shot him several sets of logs early this AM and he turned around revised tune files within about 30min. I can't emphasize enough how responsive DM has been. I don't have any issues with APR and in fact my car was running 100% free of issues with the APR tune. My goal here was to see if DM could get me more out of it.
For reference, here are my mods.
S3 K04
S3 injectors
APR HPFP
Eurojet FMIC with turbo discharge and throttle body pipes
BSH intake
BSH catch can
Milltek TBE with hi-flow cat
So...the results: +29WHP, +45TQ
APR K04 - 275WHP, 280TQ
DM K04+ - 304WHP, 325TQ
