Thanks for the thorough response Vdub, I am concerned about the power across the rpm range and would like to be able to have a smooth acceleration, APR is closer though...
Honestly, I think you should make your decision based on the location of the shop to you. That is why I chose APR. I didn't want to have to drive to farging Auburn if I was having problems.
Both APR and REVO make great software for the MK5 and I wouldn't hesitate to go with either. And both TKO and Achtuning are very reputable VW tuners and would both certainly take care of you.
you guys should all check out group 2 tuning.... by the fishermans terminal in ballard.... seriously legit shit. they did my suspension ... serious baller shit.
