I would like to see big players investing some time and energy into this. BTW, I testdrove an R56 w/LSD, can you say torque steer? I dont wanna know what will happen with more power

i love APR. they are a GREAT company! Had stage 2 programming on my Audi A3. They are pricey, but its understandable.

I just came from the VW crowd and i can definitley say that APR has a good rep and makes some high quality stuff. Hopefully they will take interest and get us some tuning in the future.

I had neuspeed first, it was ok.. but I switch to the APR, I had the 3 programs with the valet turn off option, worked great. considerable difference from neuspeed flash.

I miss my Jetta.







<sigh>

still have their chip on my golf, no problems. I have a friend who works there, they probably aren't going to do anything. It has been discussed internally previously from what I've been told. Looks like we wont be seeing an APR mini anytime soon.
