Sorry if this was already mentioned somewhere. Where do we identify our ECU version that our car has? Does obd11 give this if I plug it in?

Hey, I looked into this with the support team.

Let's start with a couple things:

1) Let's get the correct DSG file. You are on the stock turbo tune. On the GLI, for example, we measured more than a second slower in 60-130 times.

2) You're running the stock intercooler. IAT is very likely to shoot through the roof, triggering our protection routines, and greatly reducing output. To meet advertised power, please run the intercooler and intake system.

If this were my car, I'd start there.

Does that make sense?

@Arin@APR any idea when it's going to be out of beta? I don't expect a lot of people want to pay a shop to update the tune without it being final.

We're going to be taking care of our customers. More on that when I make an official update post / alerting existing customers / dealers etc.

BETA is just a way to separate out the files until it's all ready. I don't anticipate there will be any further changes, but you never know.

Pretty sure you said the same thing a couple of weeks ago, and here we are 🤣

Good on APR for acknowledging an issue and correcting it though.

Why waste your time without the Intercooler yet? Arin already stated at least to have intercooler and intake. I highly doubt they're going to look for reasons you're not hitting advertised#s without hardware requirements. Just saying...

I talked to my shop, they talked to apr directly. The box code for my specific cars tcu is not ready yet, according to apr.

Miscommunication. The file is ready and has been. They will call you back.
