Leo from Eurotek here in Vegas came to my house, took out my ECU, reflashed my car with a loaded tune (stock,91,100 & valet) & did vagcom tweaks for me (in about an hour total) showed me lockout mode and how to switch programs all right in my own garage. He replaced the ECU bolts with genuine VW bolts right from the factory. Great guy - very friendly - I highly recommend! Probably the best customer service experience I've had in quite awhile!
First drive impressions... Damn!!!
This is a whole nother car now - 1rst gear dead zone unfortunately didn't completely disappear but it was reduced to a level where I don't wanna trade the car in anymore (thx APR) redline comes fast in 1rst ... TCS light flashes all over the place in 1rst 2nd even 3rd - half throttle around corners it comes on too - the car spikes boost a little abruptly in 1rst but to me that's expected.
There is an onramp to the freeway by my house - before the flash I could get to 85 just as I merged onto the freeway at WOT .... Now I'm doing almost 120 as I merge - holy shit, can that be right?
Noises ... The engine is quite noticeably louder - I like it!!! I like it alot!! APR RSC is likely in my future as well as their intercooler to help with awful Vegas heat soak. First things first though ... Engine mounts and an intake are next on the list as well as the DV & PCV valve which are likely to take a shit early because of the added power.
Torque - yes please!
It's everywhere ... 6th gear freeway, punch it .... Byeee .... It's all over the power band - nuff said!
All in all it's everything people have said - sorry for yet another APR stage 1 post (god knows there are a zillion of em) but there is a good reason why!
APR = win
