Thats gotta suck thinking your car was "slow" and were going to come home with more power to find out its basically where its going to stay. How didnt you know it had an exhaust?

97TurboDSM 10-18-2009 12:17 AM

i knew it had an aftermarket muffler but i never got under it to check to see if it was more than that. my buddy with a black 20th got under to look and said the connectors were stock looking so he thought the exhaust was stock so thats what i went with. i have a HUGE boost leak at the bov that needs attended to and then im sure it will pull much better. from what i hear, this apr chip is not very good but their big turbo AP3+ is one of the best out on the market so we'll see what happens. this pea shooter turbo isnt staying on for long.

I had the APR chip and really liked it because it didnt over boost the turbo and ran really good. I also had the revo tune and I didnt like how it ran and it was a way too rich of a tune. Car looks good and those are great cars and awesome color!

Revo is real aggressive. Thats what i have, but im on a ko4 (not much diff) but since my Exhaust and FMIC i keep having fuel breakup issues ughhh

Chopper17 10-18-2009 11:01 AM

Ya I had full 3" turbo back stright pipe, fmic, intake, dv, ko3s and the revo didnt really run like the APR did. But I would have like to try unitronics to see what their file was like.

97TurboDSM 10-18-2009 12:34 PM

im gonna save myself the 650 for now and just mess with this apr chip and get it running right. weird issue last night.

CleanNeon98 10-18-2009 12:44 PM

Did you already get it APR chipped? If not, my friend is actually does APR chips and can give you a good deal. LMK

97TurboDSM 10-18-2009 12:53 PM

umm, it already has one on there. hence the reason i didnt get a unitronic flash.

OWENthatsmyname 10-18-2009 09:35 PM

So do you just need a new dv?

97TurboDSM 10-18-2009 10:54 PM

i need to recirc the one i have or get a flange welded for my hks.

Elliott18t 10-19-2009 09:27 AM

just save the headache and get a Recirc.

Elliott18t 10-19-2009 10:11 AM

oh and I could argue that the apr BT kit sucks im mean 4-5k k and ur getting barely 300.. CTS turbo and pagparts are the way to go IMO. IDK how their software is but I reallllllly like my UNI stg1+ software. its pretty aggressive and makes the top ( or near the top) HP for non-BT software.

and now unitronics has this for BT users http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4551765 to better fine tune.

97TurboDSM 10-19-2009 11:57 AM

i was all ready for the uni stg 2 then found out i already had this stupid **** on here so im just going to wait it out till i have all my parts together.

97TurboDSM 01-13-2010 05:19 PM
