APR STAGE 1 TUNE REVIEW AFTER ONE YEAR; PROBLEMS WITH THE TUNE AND MORE

Hey guys, first off, thanks to Brandon for suggesting the video. To start off, if you guys are planning on tuning your car, you must be able to take extra care of your car. You can't just get the tune and keep the same oil intervals because your engine is taking more strain. If you take good care of your car, the only problems you're gonna have with the car is too much power;). Ive had no problems so far, and I punish my car often. Thanks for Watching guys.

My 15 Golf R stage 2 Unitronic. Loved it!
And I had to replace all 4 tired every yr!

Thank you for sharing your experience with the build.Audi comes clogged from Europe because of the emissions and tight regulations but if you let the engine breath the car will reward yourself with longevity

Same for my GTI, maintenance and driving habits are everything.

I just did the Apr stage 1 flash on my 17 R. Manual. It def changes the entire car. The boost is almost double. The G force that it pushes u into the Seat with is scary for people I take for a ride to show them "why I got a VW R" lol. They saw my last cars. Infiniti G hooked up the ass and a lexus I worked nicely. This car is BY FAR my favorite ride ever. At this point in time. The thought process and TLC that went into this car is noticeable in everything that it does and now it just does it FASTER. I am def goin to keep going down the road on modding this. This APR stage 1 is the single best mod u can get for the money. I went "low torque " so as not to burn out the factory clutch yet. Sacrificing 15ft/lbs of torque but saving 1300 USD$ in the mean time. When the time comes I will swap out the clutch but for now it's a pleasure. Still getting high 20's to 30's on the highway and 20 on the street. Even if I'm alittle loco with it. Got the Pirellis on it. 19" all season bcuz the weather is shit out here a lot of the time. I have felt that better tires at this point would be noticeably different. ESP at approaching cornering limits. But I would tell EVERYONE interested in a fast, usable in the snow, daily driver / sleeper. To test drive one of these. I got manual bcuz I love them. But the DSG is even quicker. I can't imagine. Great vid. Appreciate the feedback. Keep it coming. SUB!

Way to rock that U!!!! Miami Hurricane fan as well and thank you for this video. I've just tuned my 2016 CC R Line and about to start putting bolt on parts soon

[brandonmartin]

"I drive spirited..."
Yeah, don't we all!

So what car are you talking about? What is the problem with the APR tune? I'm glad you seem to like your tune and your car but without giving any details about what car/tune, etc I have a hard time saying there is anything useful in this video.

[ELRblog]

good video! I am considering a stage 1 tune for the Dune I just got. Coming from a MK7 GTI, this car feels like I'm driving a Boat but anyways, I gotta save up a little bit

MUCH better to have spinning tires than strain on the drivetrain. Tires are easy to replace, drivetrain and transmissions are not.

[squarebackjedi]

Thanks for the vid. Do you have a manual or automatic? How is it passing cars and merging onto the freeway?

[brandongummerson]

I had APR tune on a 2008 Wolfsburg for years and never had a problem.

[kevinyancey]

Stage 1 tune only unlocks power that VW hid. The EA888 engine is easily capable of 300 reliable horsepower. Remember, VW's first water cooled engine was a diesel, so petrol blocks are built tough. The latest generation golf is 292hp stock, with the same engine that is in the Tiguan.

[JereWall]

Don't listen to the people making fun! Thanks for the video man, this review was very helpful! Thanks!

these days I hope to get to do stage 1 too. I will post the result on my channel

[danielanthony]

I did the stage 1 apr time on my B9 Audi S4. Definitely recommend changing the oil every 3-5k miles instead of waiting till the car tells you you need it.

[zadeh]

The B9 A4 (252hp variant) has the same pistons from the 2015 Audi S3.

I just bought a Golf GTI MK5. Do you recommend APR stage 1 with a PCV delete or any other update in general for maximum reliability? I would like to have a stage 1 ONLY, not even change the intake if possible. Would this be reliable with proper and careful maintenance?Thanks in advance and thanks for your review !
