This (in the title) confuses me...see stage 3 K04; https://www.giacusa.com/supported_products.php?make=vw&model_id_1=202&engine=2.0 Turbo FSI
Because years ago mine averaged more than that at the wheels on the dyno.
My mass air of 280 g/s figures to be 345 HP at the engine these days.
So, APR says their K04 91 octane tune is 350 HP and GIAC is only 280 HP? Really?
Also, I have been asking Andrew @ GIAC because wanting him to check if I have the same K04 High Output tune, with a 145 bar FPRV, I originally loaded in late 2010. It had a target rail pressure of 140 bar.
I ran the DM K04+ from 2015 to 2017.
Then I thought when my GIAC was reloaded in 2017, I would be getting the same K04 High Output.
But I question this now because mine was the GIAC High Output K04 tune that I no longer see on their site.
GIAC's Andrew told me all of the FSI K04 tunes require the same FPRV now, yet I do not see this listed as a requirement on their site.
Waiting to talk with him again because I want to know why he told me the 140 bar FPRV is required but not listed.
I just have doubt that I now have the K04 High Output version I originally bought in 2010.
I do know I never see the rail pressure target above 130 bar since the reload of my GIAC tune.
This is almost making me ready to do another tune swap.
But I will give Andrew one more chance to be honest with me about the version they reloaded in 2017.
I mean, if the K04 High Output was discontinued then say it...I can handle the truth.
Don't tell me all FSI K04 tunes are High Output and require a 140 bar FPRV if it is not true.
I just want to know if I can possibly have the High Output tune I once owned and did again pay for to have reloaded.
