hey guys im new here i have a few pics of my new turbo . anyone have any feedback about apr ecu upgrade thinking of doing it.

 

Welcome aboard! Beautiful car...

 

541 hp, 638 lb-ft is APR's claimed gains with US 93 octane fuel with a ECU flash alone.

I'm a little skeptical. There have been a few magazine reviews, but I haven't seen any performance data, trap times, 60-130 runs, 0-200 pbox tracings. I wouldn't get too caught up in the "horsepower" game...APR (and many other tuners) produce excellent products, but dynos can easily be misinterpreted as absolute performance.

My personal recommendation is to combine an ECU flash with an exhaust change...it is probably the best "bang for the buck" combination available.

 

Nice car . Congrats and welcome. Hows your first drives with it?

 

i cant see myself ever owning another make of car cant believe how good it goes. love the mid range punch!im from australia any body got advice for any mods available here ie exhaust. ecu

 

Welcome mate! Nice color choice. Do the ECU and exhaust as suggested. I agree, the performance gain/$$ spent ratio will be optimal for this level of performance.

 

I can tell you what I got on my car . The list is long and might be boring to read and most of the guys here already know because I hang out here a lot getting ideas .

The short version -
You can go many levels with your car . The basics are suspension , ecu, exhaust , intake , intercoolers , wheels . Pick any of thse items and a forum debate will follow because each person loves his car .

You are more than welcome to PM me and I wil tell you where I began 19 months ago and what led me and my car to where it is today.

 

congratulations and welcome to the 6

 

Way to go - congrats! I have an 07TT in meteor grey. I have lowered it and done the exhaust, waiting on an ecu tune. Exhaust is easy and I recommend it.

 

congrats and welcome, love the color. As far as exhaust goes there are many choices, try to listen to as many as you can in person. These cars are definetly too quiet in stock form.

 

how do you go lowering it ive already replaced lip spoiler after two weeks ownership. how far did you drop it?

 

What is with this "exhaust is easy"??? That isn't really true. Looking back at all the forum notes, the process takes a good 6-8 hrs with upwards of $1K cost, the backend of the tt comes off...tough to get it back like factory, often the bolts holding the converters break off, the engine light can come on and not so easy to get that light off, warranty issues could crop up, resale value drops so it best to store factory exhaust, some exhaust have a drone at 55-65 speeds, difficult if not impossible to hear the inside exhaust note before purchase. If you're unhappy with sound, than the whole reverse process is just more aggravation and pain. Getting an exhaust on is not easy nor an easy choice.

 

Hmmm. I can do it solo with one floor jack in less than three hours and the bumper stays on. If somebody is charging you 6hrs you're getting ripped.
I have had several exhausts on my car and currently run the tubi with zero drone, not too loud at all. But, I can see where some guys might not want to do it, esp if you're not able to DIY, then it could be a hassle. I hate a 'loud' exhaust myself and would never toloerate one on a daily basis. The benefits of the right exhaust are better sound, faster spooling of the turbos, less EGT. I don't think a exhaust alone will void a warranty, but the ecu will void it without a doubt. At the track, you gotta have some form of exhaust, just can't hear it at all!
