Posted this on vwvortex, but ill post it here as well for the ppl that tends to avoid the 'tex lol
hey guys - this might be a long read but you may skip the intro :D
after saving for 2mths - i've finally got my hands on the APR reflash and my god its awesome!
i was a sceptic about reflashes before as they cost a small fortune and never actually been in a chipped 1.8t before - so i wasn't sure if it was worth the money.
anyways i did what every1 would do and dropped by at Guy's place to have the 6hr trial. I was surprised i didn't get any funny looks from either Alex or Guy as i'm only 18 but look like a 14yr old kid - this was a good sign as i dont wanna look like i'm taking it for a free joyride.
as soon as i reversed out of the garage the exhaust opened up and had a very nice deep bassy note to it - no need to change the muffler lol
what a difference it was on the road! feels like a total different car but keeping the stock feel. I brought my cousin along for feedback and he loves it more than i do lol definitely worth the money!
the car now has so much torque that i'm able to go up hills in 5th with ease - and city driving has become a dream. Power delivery is surprisingly smooth yet noticeable - and there was no major hint of torque steer!
loving this car more now - and thanks to Guy and Alex for the job well done and questions answered. ;)
