This is awesome. I was thinking K04. But if APR can get a tune for this there's a good possibility that I might jump on it. I dont wanna switch tuners. I need my program switching.

Sorry not going to happen for you. APR has their K04 kit and software. They won't be making a tune for this.

If u get in touch with unitronic I'm sure they can custom tune for this turbo.

yep. right now it's either custom eurodyne or waiting on GIAC.
or of course running someone's k04 tune with a BC.

Damn i could of sworn that unitronic does customs tunes oh well. Giac would be my second choice.

Yes, Unitronic does do custom tunes. SO does APR for that matter.

This.
This.
Custom tunes from anyone costs custom dollars. For big turbo there is huge power benifits so dollars to power is well worth it IMO. For this you gain 10-15% over regular ko4. Z can tell you he has over 2 k invested in his tune on his EFR. so things are mot quite as cheap as they first look. Also, know this after the 3 renditions of my build (on of which is back up for sale, baby on the way).
I do like the hybrid idea 350whp all day, but you can get that with a ko4 with a w/m file. You are also closing in on BT prices when all done.
just my 2cents

If a reputable company comes out with software, this is the route i'm going. You get gt28rs power or better for much less, plus it's a simple bolt-on. All that needs to be done is control the initial boost spike to help with reliability. Maybe spike at 25 and hold 25. It's that initial nasty spike that gets rods most of the time.

Yea that spike scared the crap out of me. Mostly due to way too much preload on the wastegate actuator. Left the car as is. Will probably head down and readjust the preload on monday and have it measured.
Yea 25 psi would be great for DD.
A/F looked good so our cars can handle it no problem. Yea I'm not in for spending a ton on a custom tune. I'm waiting on both GIAC to finish up their FSi tunng and for Eurodyne to fine tune theirs.
