I had the v2.2 update file on my car when I had APR and it is totally contrary to your experience!

Edition 30 : REVO stage 1 review
that review includes a link to my APR review too....

If the new APR software is indeed this good then well done  :happy2:
but for me Revo was night and day different......

maybe the engines are different in some way?!

Just checked the date of your review it's back from 2010, I didn't know APR had a v2 out already so I will need to call this thread v3.0!

Nice one Pov.

So does your TTRS feel alot stronger than the Golf R?

Maybe the dsg has made it feel quicker than manual 2+??

I hope APR has used the revised map they gave me just before i changed to REVO. As the lambdavalues of 0,75 didn't give enough fuel above 5200rpm to maintain boost.

But APR was nice to have, easy to change, i still hope they will start on having customerservice, as in my experience it's non existing. They have some employees with the right intentions, but when management is getting involved nothing happens.  :fighting:

Nice one Pov.

So does your TTRS feel alot stronger than the Golf R?

Maybe the dsg has made it feel quicker than manual 2+??

The TT is deffo quicker for sure, but the Golf really took me by surprise.

It's possible but then I've also driven a dsg S3 stage 2 us which seemed more calm. Usually I've found that 4wd cars usually feel slower than fwd ones when it comes to the 2.0tfsi and even the TTRS when it was stock.

Someone's done a 12.7 1/4 mile in a APR stage 2 plus Leon Cupra, which proves that the APR map is now up there with the best. Al and Owen have both done 12.9's with GIAC and Revo cupras.

I reckon this Golf R would probably do the sprint in a low 12 for sure.

What i find hard is to get the marketing info clear of the facts. If they got their act together fine, but hopefully we don't end up with another scenario where their dealers abandes them, and leave the folks with APR SW out in the cold  :confused:

Does it have a linear throttle map and if not can they do it?

Apparently its an easy change.  Jabba are doing it for mine, or at least said they would

For every 1% of accelerator movement you will get 1% throttle open on the engine so it acts more like a throttle cable instead of electronic.

As standard its not a 1:1 after 3/4 throttle
