What stage your running ? good to know . With the sock tires I used to loose traction all the time even with 1+, but the Michelin AS3s I put on are fantastic. traction issue are minimal.

APR Stage 1+ Beta file *-*1500 Mile Update: Still no issues on tune and it is acting as it should. Pulls great, lots of power and still none of the issues i was experiencing before. Will update again at 2000 miles.

This is great, keep them coming.
What does everything think the general consensus mile range would be to dub this beta tune "a permanent fix"?

Why? I've heard the vid's and honestly they sound annoying and can't be good for the car...

Dumping more fuel in to make the Sound right?

I would think so yes... but no idea really.

That is usually all it is. If anything I imagine worse fuel economy but I dunno for sure.
I LOVED it on the SRT4 but it was a different car where it felt more appropriate in the Dodge muscle car heritage. Not to mention, stock it had balls so the sound was backed up.
I mean, unless you get this car seriously moving, crackles is just more rice to throw at it, lol.

I don't know where the picture is but on one of the facebook groups Alex @ stratified was talking about how their crackles aren't caused by dumping extra fuel. I don't know if it's the same with APR, but it can be done without dumping fuel. I don't think people know exactly how its done, but people have confirmed via AFR readings that fuel is not being dumped.

I get backfire upon a cold start-up and drive off with my current setup. I feel like it's legit backfire when it does occur because once my car is warmed up, it no longer does it as often.
Where as the tune will produce constant backfire, it has to be dumping fuel to do this I imagine.

That's definitely one way that it could be done, but alex has said that's not how they do it. Sure he could be lying but people woulda noticed in their AFRs if they got super rich during the crackles.

I am in a GLI though.
Do ya have a repeatable procedure to show this is happening? And what should the logs look like?
I don't mind collecting some logs if you give me an idea of what to log and what I should do to show similar behaviour as what y'all are experiencing.
