Finally time for some updates on this one.

Things have stalled a bit over the last couple of months and I lost a bit of love for the car and APR Stage 3 kit. The repairs after the rod incident took longer than I hoped and when I got the car back it wasn't 100% right. I was going to do my normal thing and rush into having some more work done, I am glad I took a bit of time out to refocus on things again.

The result is the car is all back together properly thanks to KPM  :notworthy: and today I took the car back to APR HQ to meet Joel and Zach (fresh off a plane this morning from the States) to update the calibration on the stage 3 file.

A before dyno run was completed which showed the engine was running as well as before rod-gate



Then Joel got to work on improving things, and the end result a nice increase in the mid range with good gains on peak BHP and Torque.



And an overlay for three runs from today



And the result on the road, a much more eager car then now feels like the step up from a K04 I was looking for.

Just need to find a spare TFSI head now so I can get that shipped to APR US so the rest of the power can be gained from the turbo and fuel upgrades  :laugh: :laugh:

Nice one Steve, will be good to compare graphs once mine is back together, see how the AXX and BWA compare.

 :congrats:

That has been a while since "Rod-gate" but looks like it has been more than worth the time and patience Steve. Can't wait to see the next step.  :party:
