APR Stage 1 >>>

<< < (7/8) > >>

SooperD:
Ive got an APR dealer near me and am considering going Stage 1.. Firstly (probably been asked a million times before) how much difference is there from stock? Noticeably much quicker? And secondly would I be better off having it remapped with use of a rolling road? I dont think the dealer near me has one so am a bit wary of just tweaking it up and driving away without know that everything like fuel/air ratios etc are in line and not doing damage anywhere.

Thanks.

AndrewJB:
What car is it on?

The jump between stock and Stage1 for me was big!

SooperD:
Its an 05 GTI golf. Totally stock at the moment.

vRS Carl:
Stage 1 is generally the biggest gain in BHP for least moolah.

After that it becomes the law of diminishing returns for more and more money until you start replacing the turbo etc. Then it starts all over again.

SooperD:
A bit wary of going Stage 1. May ask for 1 of those trials to see exactly how much better the car is with it. How long do these turbo's usually last? Mines over 100k so not sure if i should put extra strain on it as I wouldnt be looking to go OTT and upgrade the turbo etc.
