petsy Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 this is taken from a vwvortex forum of a 2007 GTI 6SPD about 6k miles with APR 93 remap. Torque is stated to be 4ft-lb gain across the rev range. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3437465 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Those sort of gains wouldn't surprise me on a turbo'd car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 The intake contributes significantly but I'm surprised the figures are so low overall. I would have expected about 235hp at least. Does anyone know APR's claims as to output expectations for this remap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I would have expected the APR Stage1 to be similar to the Revo Stage1. I'm not sure how reliable any dyno is - My plot immediately after the remap showed 221 bhp and then about 3 weeks later it showed about 20 bhp more. I had my Carbonio before I remapped but jason1 had his Carbonio after his MTM remap and says the difference was very noticeable. The Carbonio comes with a Pipercross filter but I now have an ITG. Most Americans report very small gains with the Carbonio and bigger gains with EVOMS which doesn't use the stock airbox. But there's a point at which the turbo ceases to spin efficiently. All I care about is how she feels to drive and not about the numbers. Which is why I have stayed on Stage1 plus my hardware mods. I think the point is that a remap can release the potential of an air intake and that the intake and exhaust are 'related'. Responsiveness is just as important as power gains imo.

silentandy Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Don't forget that if this is a US car then it's likely to being run on lower grade petrol than ours. Is APR 93 for 93 Octane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
