I guess it will have to be APR software as Revo don't do any for a GT28.

APR tune, too?

Yep APR code

350bhp at the wheels?

Somewhere around that as a starting point but with more to come with a kind of stage 3+ tune with some extra hardware and a new file in the very near future  :smiley:

Not knowing the history with Dan's car I can't comment but I am confident in the kit and hoping the APR code lives up to the promises they have made  :happy2:

Really nice well put together kit.

Just a poor choice of turbo for the engine.

Got a kit lying about at bdm, but no mani to go with it.

A friend from Australia with an R had this kit and switched to Revo because didn't liked the APR tune performance. So i guess Revo makes a tune ;)

I know you can use Revo but I believe you need a manual boost controller. Just something I remember from one of the guys on here who ended up going to West Tuning.  :smiley:

I hope you know what you are doing with the APR stage 3 Steve. :surprised:

I had the kit ready for my ED30 and then sold it to Gillm after deciding I liked the K04 better as I'd driven a couple of GT2871 cars and thought they were slower and a bit dimwitted at the bottom end.

If I was still in the ED30 I'd have a K04 hybrid in it now over the GT2871.  :happy2:
Golf R gone.

More that he now works for APR so the map change wasn't really an option.

Steve is now APR for some different reasons (and would prob still be Revo if it wasn't for those reasons :()
