APR stage 2+ v3.0

[taglo]

Hi Keith...

some really nice post in this thread. It is getting attention on a very large scale... Nice to see this kind of feedback from a tuner.
I am currently on Revo stage 2+ and thinking of jumping aboard with APR. My problem (if it is a problem) is I am using a forge wastegate and a HKS boost controller in order to have 3 memory presets of boost.. Would your software work with my setup?

How does 250 pounds equate to euro with my Greek APR dealer in Athens?

Whats wrong with the SPS switch, theres 3 presets on their to adjust boost, timing, fuel

Nothing wrong with sps. My revo stage 2+ never worked...

Judging by previous postings on the US forums, I don't think APR will want to have anything to do with a car utilising any Forge products.

Keith... What say you??

Hey Taglo,

Unfortunately my offers were only for the UK.  It would be up to APR Greece to offer something for you.

If we were to take on your project, we would ask that you remove the w/g actuator and replace with OEM and the boost controller also.  We would calibrate all of this in the OEM ECU without the need for those extra bits.  Because this isn't something I would plan to offer to other customers, it would have to be a custom calibration.  Contact APR Greece and copy me in the on the email, klucas@goapr.com.  I don't know when, but I plan to be in Athens with my calibration expert sometime in the next few months and we could possible do something for you then.

Thanks,

Keith

Really ?? Why's that then??

[Keith@APR]

On that subject, APR uk wanted £979 + shipping for an APR hpfp. Another UK supplier charges £750 inc delivery for exactly the same item

Sometimes used HPFP's sourced by the dealer are sent to us for a rebuild and unfortunately sold as new pumps.  Because I've caught wind of this happening rather frequently in the UK and Europe, we are establishing a better tracking process and identification system for used, rebuilt pumps and new pumps.

thanks for the reply
does that mean that APR will now rerubish in the UK?
or do you already?

I am looking into this.  I think it would be good if we did!

Would like to thank PSi tuning for seeing me at short notice and burning the APR update on for me and making me a brew in the process.

Not to far from me so will be bearing you in mind when I dream up some more modification plans

I can fully understand APR coming back to the party as its a large market for them to share at (especcially as lots jumped to Revo and are now thinking of jumping back), and i do understand UK pricing structures compared to USA pricing, but lets be honest US trade price plus a $ per pound/kilo shipping does not add up to UK prices being what they are (A re-map weighs nothing  ), although again I suppose we should be used to it by now in the UK  

I disagree with the warranty side of things on imports and to call them "Grey Imports" does not sound right after all we live in a world economy and with the internet thats the way it works, if an APR product fails the last thing APR need is bad press about refusing to honour a warranty on a product (Wherever it was bought), i thought warranties were on the product itself, not its location?

P.S. im not a hater of APR or ANY otheer tuner in fact my brother had APR on his 1.8T and was happy with it, I just wish that some of the pricing structures would be a tad more "realistic", maybe its the usual case of "Paying for the name"?
£499 Stg 1 remap seems fair enough for a MK5 GTI but £699 for an ED30/S3??

699 is daft money. Youd have thought with the likes of R-tech creating great software for ~£300 that the big guns would reduce their pricing.

I know, but like i said, your paying for the name i think or perhaps paying lots more money for little more power?  , Jabbasport is £350 (plus Vat if your not vat reg'd) and costs same on GTI as it does on ED30 or S3?, where does the £200 difference come in? 
Agreed the 3/4 settings thing (EMCS?) is a good idea but worth another £350?, nope.

If APR Stg 1 price was £400-450 I would consider it against other options.

p.s. bracing myself in case im talking tosh again (Allegedley)

On the AR tuned website there is no mention of Remap for for ED30, its only if you click MK6 that you then see the K04 engined cars map and thats priced at £699, copied from the site

have you a link?

theyre are the wrong prices, only stuff like S6/R8 go for that money etc

Probably because they have two ECUs . . .

Link below

http://www.aprtuned.co.uk/products/ecu_upgrade_20tfsi_trans_265hp.htm

If you scroll down half way you will see it says 2.0T FSI and names all the KO4 cars (as in prev post)

There is no heading under the MK5 section for K04 cars, only std 200ps GTI.

May want to add a link on the site for K04 cars under MK5 and price correctly (if its wrong), i thought it was priced steep
