I was deciding between the two and honestly thought I was going with Unitronic up until the morning I went in. I eventually decided to go APR stage 1 because the price is the same (with the sale), VW uses them for their own builds, it's known to be more conservative than Uni and there are more shops in my area that tune with APR.
As everyone says, both companies offer great tunes. It really is up to you and what you value most. For me, I wanted to go with a tuner that offered me something more conservative because, to me, that means longer life out of my engine. I also wanted to go with a tuner where I have multiple shops I can go to locally who can help me out if I have questions or problems.
If I were thinking about keeping my car for just 3-4 years, I would have went with Uni in a heartbeat. However, I'd like to keep this car for close to 8-10. In all honesty, I have more than enough power with APR stage 1. After I install Modshack's VTDA, I can honestly say I'm at a stopping point with the engine. (I know everyone says the modding won't stop, but I'm pretty sure I will haha). If I wanted to spend even more money on the car, I should have just gotten the Golf R.
