Id go APR if i had the TFSI
Have you turned your back on shark now Sy?

Nope.  Both of mine have ran like a dream.  My choice was between APR, P-Torque and Shark Performance.  P-Torque never replied to my emails, so i discounted them, but would have happily allowed them to map my car if they had replied.

APR and Shark IMO are on par and work off the same ethos.  Neither go for balls out figures and prefer to go for delivery and safe power etc.  Shark offered me the map for free as the development car and thus i have shark Stage 2.  That and the fact my vRS before was gleaming after swapping from bluefin to shark, plus he's very local to me now, and has gleaming customer service which is important.

With APR the extra attraction is the ability to change maps via the cruise control. 


Looks like I'll be sticking with a PDT stage 2 as shark wont do me a stage 2 map for my car :surprised: or do I switch to P-Torque or APR, think theyre the only ones left for me to try now :laugh:

Probably will stick with it anyway tbh, from what I can remember it was a nice map anyway, just wasnt as good as the stage 3 :laugh:
 I cant load a map on the car until I've run the engine in in anyway :party:

My PDT map torque flatlined at about 280bhp too  :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

*flatlines

Your dyno graph says otherwise......

Your DSG torque limiters were all mapped, this took ages as im sure you remember! Torque flatlines due to lack of fuel, it peaks at 292ft/lb which is spot on for the spec  :happy2:
