APR Chip

I just got my APR direct port program from New German Performance in Maryland today. I was amazed with the instant change. The program makes it incredibly easy switch back to factory settings or other setting you may have purchased. Not all the programs are out yet but will be soon. i.e. Anti-theft. The HP increase was about 53 (from 200 to 253) and the Torque increase was incredible too (207 to 303). Both recorded at the flywheel. The whole ordeal took about an hour to install and learn to use. If you have a GTI or GLI the APR programs are a must!!

+ 100ft/lb torque :eyebulge: :eyebulge: That's gotta be worth at least half a second in 0-60? I still can't believe how much can be squeezed out of these engines just from ECU reprogramming :thumbup: :thumbup:

So you had a dyno right after installation? Thats nuts and that's just chip alone right? Any plans for intake/exhaust?
 
I will be getting an APR for my GTI as well,
Unfortunately we dont have 93 octane...
are you using dsg? is there alot of wheelspin on 1st and other gear changes?

i plan on getting this program when i get my gti. I keep hearing awesome things about it, so far APR is making the best it seems.

I had it on my 20th anniversary edition gti and I can report that it is WELL worth the money. AND, with security lockout the dealer won't find it. Also, the feature I really loved was Anti-Theft which will prohibit the engine from turning over (when activated) even with your own key in the ignition. Of course, this wouldn't prohibit someone from flatbedding your car away if they really wanted it.

Sorry off-topic, but what wheels are you getting!? The cupkit sounds like it has a really perfect drop.

My budget for the wheels is less than $1300/set, thinking of getting ENKEI or OZ.

the apr chip there are so many options what should i get??? i have never had any experience with chipping cars??

Dude
I had 2 APR programs in my car, and definitely I was impressed about the programs. They just tune your original chip in the car, not really replacing. Took about 30 mins, bingo!!!
2 programs - APR tuned & Stock.
So I can switch the program and let my GF learn how to drive stick.
also a security lockout - switch back to stick and use code to do the lockout, so that the dealer won't able to know the car is tuned.
3rd program is the slow-down valet i think, so use this program when let someone drives your car.
4th one (I like to have this one sooner or later) is the 100 octane boost switch, thats why I'm shopping the racetrack in the midwest now.:thumbup:

so the 4 program kit with security lockout is what i want right?

i only have the 1st 2 programs, up to you for the other 2.
(u need 100 octane boost if you race, u also need the valet if you goto club 3 times a week) just kidding.:thumbup:
