Possible new Stage 1 file from APR?

[fredf]

I just got home and had a great long drive with the "new" beta file. It is so, so smooth. The throttle response feels much more like my MK7 which I really enjoy. I'm even more impressed than I already was.

That's great to here. I believe you had sone issues when you posted way back in this thread.
Are those issues now resolved with the 'new beta'?

Stage 1 or 2? Good to hear!

It's this, but for the GTi:

Sounds dope. I assume it is catalyst friendly?

 

[Arin@APR]

Yes! We are using the clean method. Fuel is cut so it doesn't spray uncombusted fuel on the turbo and catalyst. The dirty method, 'spark cut,' is more violent and risky. Obviously both methods can be pretty hard on the driveline, as is launching in general.

WoW...!!!

So, launch control and NLS will be standard features on the updated STII file for GTi?

No.
They will be optional purchaseable extras. About $100 (plus usual extras) each

Ok, i'm going to make this easier for people who haven't been following the thread but are looking for info (not being a dick just compiling details)
1.) the update itself is free. labor is up to your installer
2.) updates are port flashed, as are initial tunes as well
3.) there are separate tunes for stock intake vs. aftermarket intake
4.) you can mix and match between maps with regard to stock or aftermarket intake, test pipes & o2 readiness, etc
5.) the recent 24AX ECM update will be supported with the APR update, as will non updated ECM's
6.) both the new stage 1 and stage 2 files make hella power, stock clutches are even less likely to last then before
7.) NLS and launch limiter will be available for 99$ each
8.) there will not be a different file for catless vs. race cat (100, 200, 300 or 400 cell) on stage 2 tunes
9.) yes, you should get an upgraded intercooler
10.) yes, you should get an upgraded clutch
11.) the launch limiter is catalyst friendly, so no, you won't be shooting huge flames like an open wastegate supra running ALS
12.) for DSG guys, there is an updated TCU file coming out to go with the new ECU

Does DFD still exist?
