Oh, yeah - I sure did! It's made a massive difference from stock, and after a few days of driving, both around the city & quite hilly area we live, and also on a regional trip over the Bells Line of Rd (Blue Mountains) and on to the central west, I'm sure it's the best $999 we could have spent on the car. The ECU flash was done in about 30 mins by the great crew at European Autotech; following a quick read and acceptance of some T&Cs around the turbo and such. Easy.
Driving in 'D', the throttle response delay / lag is now nearly non-existant, vs. the previous 1.5-2 secs it would sometimes take from low RPMs to react to what my foot was asking it for, and once it responds, it does it powerfully, but still not with the feeling she's going to get away from you. Acceleration is smooth and linear; much moreso than the Audi mod offered. Freeway passing is great fun. I haven't yet given it a good go in sport and manual modes, as 'D' is giving us all we need! It really is like we've gone and picked up a new performance car.
Cheers,
Matt.
For anyone considering a tune REVO have 20% off their software for February. Roughly $975 for Stage 1.
Reading the Golf R forums, APR seem to be more common and slightly more aggressive, but REVO more linear in power delivery.
In the past I've gone pretty hard with Japanese modifications and tuning, so looking forward to a light entry with Euros.
Hi guys, I am about to bite the bullet & go a stage 2 TVS tune ecu/tcu with a down pipe. I am looking for a cat back exhaust with resonator but am finding it hard to find, not really interested in ordering from overseas prefer Australian stock, also looking to do the inlet side, spoke to GPG, they say they can do all less the cat back exhaust, any tips? Prefer a drive in drive out service
