There is a huge thread by Arin@APR regarding APR’s 2.0 TSI / TFSI EA888 Gen 1 ECU Ver 2.0 update and now it’s gone. Has it been deleted?

I just made a post today in that thread and after that it disappeared.

It looks like he's deleted almost every post he's made in the last 2 years. Every thread after 2016 has been deleted.

Weird. I assume APR was planning another ECU update.

The poster can delete posts, but can't delete threads they started....so maybe a mod did?
Because their new MK6 exhaust sneak peek thread is even gone and that was just bumped a couple of days ago

W-e-i-r-d

I remember all your updates, I think last was @5,000 miles and still all good! Perhaps they figured the beta a "fix" and will post a "APR Stage 2 version 2.? update" thread releasing it to the general public??????

Looks like the main forum admin deleted all his posts. Could be they didn't pay their vendor dues, or apr requested his account removed. Not sure.

Yes, I was following all your beta tune updates. You mentioned your previous version you experienced hesitation. In what gear and at what rpm were you experiencing hesitation?
For me it’s 3rd gear at 3000-4000rpm at full throttle.

Didn't APR also have a sticky post listed at the top of the page?

Most of the time it was 3rd gear, but i would find it in other gears as well.

Thankfully it seems to be fixed.

Then that makes you the cut rate guest star, and it must be Dbpgti fault because he was the first guy on the scene.

Side note it is odd that the largest tuner up and backs off a forum..

My conspiracy is they're trying to hide their shame. The tune they released was a disgrace and that giant thread was a documentary to it. Now it's gone along with all the comments saying it ran like shit.
