Who else is as good or better? Are they the best deal for the money? What else is a common upgrade to a 2010 GTI 2.0T besides the ECU upgrade, that is fairly easy and economical?
If you go with APR right now it's on sale. $599 for a fully loaded ECU or $549 if you want only a single program.
A Fully Loded ECU means Your Choice of 4 of the Following Programs:
– Stock Mode :: Exact Original Mapping and Performance
– 91 Octane Performance
– 93 Octane Performance
– 100 Octane Performance
– Valet Mode :: Limits RPMs and Power Output
Also Included:
– Program Switch :: Ability to switch between programs and options w/o extra hardware.
– Fault Code Erase :: Erases Fault ECU Fault Codes
– Security Lockout :: Locks Advanced Functionality of Cruise Control, Password Protected
– Anti-Theft :: Disables Throttle to Render Vehicle Inoperable, Password Protected
Now, what else you may want to consider is we produce both the software and the hardware. We setup full stages for your car which are all tested and perfected in house to ensure our software matches the hardware. No mixing and matching needed, we've laid it all out for you. We offer these upgrades for FREE if you are keeping the stock turbo. No one else in the industry is doing this. Essentially we have software and hardware for everything (within reason... no quad turbo twin engine 2.0T setups.
) you may want to do.
If you want to just run stock hardware, or maybe add the intake and/or catback exhaust, get our stage 1 software. If you want to add a high flow exhaust, get our stage 2 software. If you wanted to go fully catless, you could remove the catalytic converter (for off road use) and grab out testpipe file which will ensure you get no check engine lights for the catalyst. If you later decide to add the intercooler, you can add it at any time w/o the need to alter your software. The lower intake air temperatures will call for more advanced timing for longer turbo life and more power.
Later down the road you may look at a bigger turbo upgrade. We have software for turbo kits already that include every part you need and we are looking to expand our current turbocharger upgrade route to include possibly smaller and bigger options.
Lastly, we race the MK6 GTI in the 2010 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. We have a ton of 2.0 TSI engines ready to go though brutal abuse. That abuse directly translates into us pushing the limits of the stock engine to find the weak points for you, so you never need to do it on your own. We get to play with fuel saving techniques and really dig into the code to extract every possible horsepower and MPG w/o pushing anything over the safety threshold. Result? Better software updates down the road, which are always FREE.
2010 looks like it will be a great year for this engine. We have a lot in store and this is just the beginning! I'm confident you will not be disappointed if you choose APR.
