Keith is working onthe software side as we speak.  The ancillaries are all sorted.

Completion hopefully on Sunday.

Back in topic, I have managed a 3.8sec 0-60 with the golf on the same stretch of road as before.

Imagine with the seats removed!!!

Wait!  You got into the 3's in my Golf R before I did!  You must be a better driver than I.  lol  Congrats!

Waiting for the first round of files from America to enable me to do to your ecu what needs to be done.

On the current Stage 1 you have its over boosting and running out fuel.  The new turbo must have done something!!!   :driver:

Looks like you might beat hurdy to the 1.4 title  :congrats:
3.8 secs is nice for a family hatch :happy2: imagine what you'll get when temps creep up :laugh:

Janner_Sy:

Looking at our income statement, the only course of action available is to raise US prices.  We would be able to find a happy medium as the additional profit from the US sales would help to offset costs of doing business internationally but raise the price we must to make it work.

We already sell more internationally than we do in North America.  Its been that way for a long time.

With respect, knowing what "similar" hardware/equipment costs to design and make, I find it hard to believe US prices are too low as is. Using the transverse TFSi  intercooler example again, I may have been interested to have an APR intercooler, but its 66.6% more expensive than the all but the same THS intercooler. APR name and quality or not, it is surely APR's job to prove why it is so much better than the others to justify that premium price, and I can't find that anywhere on the APR web site just as I can't find any detail on these new maps other than functionality, people joy riding in a demo car and price  :signLOL:
