Ok with the risk of being hit by the massive REVO fanboy stick  :signLOL:

Does anyone have any experience of APR maps particularly the Stage 2+ software for K03 Cars

I am currently REVO stage 2+ and without wanting to start slanging matches etc (if you are that interested PM me and i will explain) i am not happy with the REVO K03 Stage 2+ software and i've gone as far as i can with them now. They basically are point blank denying the problem is software based.

So does anyone have experience of the Equivalent APR product?

The only other option i am considering is Shark Performance Stage 3 but will wait until i have seen a RR Graph and been in a Stage 3 Car.

I will say though that the Stage 2 Shark Code produced a very good RR Graph on a DD RR.

Cheers

Carl :happy2:

I've run APR on all my VAG cars 1.8T's (Stg1 thru Stg3+), R32's & S3's, and have always been impressed by the OE feel of the delivery and way the extra power is delivered.  I know others have had issues with APR but personally I've never had a problem with their software.  I have driven plenty of 2.0T FSI cars with their software, and when driving them on the road was that it felt like it improved the K03's more than the K04s.  This is a subjective opinion of how the cars felt behind the wheel, not necessarily how they performed on the dyno.

My colours aren't nailed to any particular mast anymore so I'm biding my time before getting the ECU upgrade, but I still have a preference for APR knowing the R&D facility and the quality of the engineers that produce the code.  I haven't owned a VW or Audi that ran any other type of software so not able to comment on their day to day driveability.  Hope this helps.

I think they write good code, I can't see how anyone could argue with that - certainly in terms of K03 & K04 cars, everyone seems to get what it says on the tin.

A forum member insisted code was a problem not that long ago on here, it was then found that the car had been fitted with an incorrect fuel pressure sensor from the factory. There was absolutely no way the tuner could tell from the diags that it had the wrong sensor, so their code itself was 100%... it was just the problem only manefested itself when the code was switched on and this clouded the real cause.

I'm not saying don't jump, but be sure you're not going to spend £500 to transfer the problem with it.
