its a fun and simple car to mod, little things have big improvements.

no offense but APR is the worst :X more boost spikes then any other brand, also looking at over 50 dynos of all different companies APR is the least smooth.. Unitronic and GIAC are the safest, giac runs lower boost than any but with alot of timing, and still produces more power than APR and about the same as revo. Unitronic is just beastmode, im sure u know who chris green is since ur in florida.. USP Motorsports.. they used to run APR on all there track cars including the 8 second GLI .. and then they started repping unitronic on all their vehicles cuz it makes more power

Keep in mind APR sucked epically when the GTi was running the FSi motor. Revo pwnd APR by having better software making more power all across the board. only thing is Revo customer support = Crap and APR is a god to some people. VW is talking now w/ APR about selling their software thru the dealer...releasing APR edition GTis (think AMG for mercedes)
But now with the TSi motor APR is making more power than Giac & Unitronic, my buddies TSi like mine runs stage 2 software for APR and its a silky smooth powerband. The boost spikes are gone now with the new IHI tubros as opposed to burgwarner KKK. Revo has not even released any software as of yet they love taking their time....but APR basic stage 2 no cooling is making more power than Revo Stage 2 w/ watermeth / intercooler ..... APR may have gotten the TSi down better than the FSi
