Wideopentuning
Ready to race!
You probably can but I bet 100 octane on the old file makes about the same torque as the new 91 file.

The V1.2 Stage 1 software was usually around 270-275 wtq on 91. The new V2.x software is much closer to 300 wtq. I personally made 318wtq with all bolt ons but complete stock exhaust.
I think the V1.2 100 octane file was around 300 wtq.
I have a 2011 GTI with APR stage 1. Trying to get the 24AX update, but the service advisor told me to detune it back to stock first before getting the 24AX update.
Is that necessary!? He says if I don't, car could run worst...misfire etc
Can't I switch it back to stock, get the 24AX update then pay an APR dealer to reinstall?
I asked about it in the APR thread when they released 2.0 and they said if you're having a problem get the update, but if everything is running fine then don't worry about it. I never bothered getting the factory update and my car has been running fine.

If you get the VW dealer to flash the 24AX update (or any ECU update for that matter), it will ABSOLUTELY flash over ["wipe out"] your tune and will require a reflash back to the tuned file afterwards. Hope that helps.
