APR stage 2+ v3.0

[Tfsi_Mike]

Would a hybrid ko4 bolted on compliment the map or would the map have to be tweaked?

It's something ive thought about since Statller & jabba put them on their edition 30s

Firstly this isnt a dig at APR but why would someone running Revo stage 2+ pay £250 just to go APR

Revo hasnt suddenly started making sh*t maps overnight especially not on the 2.0tfsi, imo if you have Revo of any stage and you change to APR, your a moron and simply jumping on the band waggon at a cost of £250

Im glad APR are back as Revo perhaps were getting too cockey with there dominance, at the end of the day, competition between tuners is better for us guys!

Good luck and maybe on my next car who knows

I'd call it the, jumping off the costa Concordia band wagon and going APR :D

OK enough, since when has Revo suddenly become a sinking ship  

There has been some really good discussion and information sharing going on on this thread and it's the perceived "sponsored" responses like that only serve to turn this thread into a slagging match.

It's very early days for APR and it's re-entry into the UK tuning market, I am really hopeful is works out for them on the basis this will provide some competition and ultimately move the tuning game on to everyone benefit.

This site is not going to descend into the typical style of posting found across the pond whenever a thread is started covering something from Revo or APR, it will, while I have a say in it, remain 100% free of sponsorship or particular ties to any tuner or company, to give it's members a place to find or discuss things in an open and unbiased way.

with free tickets?

A linear throttle pedal would be very useful.

 

So, should I have this as an option?

Yes definately!

What would be brilliant is if we started to have tuner hot hatch shoot outs.

Get all the big tuners with equivalent tuned cars across the whole vag ranges and models and get pitting them against each other at bruntingthorp

Be good to get the renault/ford boys involved later as,well

Stevep that was a tongue in cheek comment dude!

We used to try those in the states for years.  Dyno shootouts, 1/4 mile days, etc.

One of the most popular for European cars was the Eurotuner GP which is still held.

The problem is that people would always cheat.

Companies would come out with "Stage 2" cars with nitrous installed, built engines, whatever....

So now its basically a time attack where all the cars that participate are pretty much race cars that have no correlation to what you could buy for your road car.

It would need a new remap if it does enough to justify the change.

Theoretically, they spool faster and move more air so boost, timing and lambda would all need to be adjusted like going from a ko3 to ko4.

Ah okay, cheers for the reply.  Hybrid ko4 Would be mental on my car if the new maps anything to go by!

Why don't you melt snow!

Is a hybrid 2.0tfsi map something APR would offer in the future? Just wondering as its a subject that keeps popping up. A friend of mine is keen to hybrid his golf also.

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

I wonder if it would be possible to get TTRS Stage 1 power from a KO4...... That would be an interesting development wouldn't it

[RobH]

Steve@statllers is running 440hp on his with wmi and hybrid or 410hp without wmi.

Hes running the same Revo map as vrsAlex, so i guess we need Alex to put his on a dyno to confirm there is 400+ available from a hybrid.

Historically we don't like hybrids as our testing has proven them less than reliable.

But that's not to say we've tested all of the hybrids out there so I'm told there are some good ones over here.

Its possible.  Maybe something we offer as a custom solution.  I doubt we would offer it as part of our standard product line unless it was a kit we develop and offer.

Just need to find the best one.

Does anyone know the spec of the hybrid turbo used on Statlers demo ???

Cheaper than the €2.2k quoted for the LOBA 380 hybrid ??
