I have to say i must agree , but that doesn't reflect on the techical team there and the people i am working with.

you also have to understand that they have to fill all the forums with marketing crap , because most other suppliers are doing just the same , and if you are just plain honest , that doesn't fly in forums.

look at how many BT kits there are out there with big promises but zero complete and succesfull projects and no software to support them.
yet you see people buying into them because of the crap the suppliers are feeding them.

EDIT : just wanted to add that after close relations , you wouldn't also believe how many of this is not really their fault, there are so many things behind the scenes and sometimes they are put in a sh*t position by their dealers where they either have to call them liers or back them up.

Well done...I'm sure a thoroughly thought out piece of engineering/development by APR.

They (APR) held in very high regard with VAG Msport in Germany!

Look at their Koni challenge race cars and their R&D...a proper company.

I had Stage 3+ on my MKIV and that was very very useable on road and track.

On my Edition 30 when on Stage 1 I attended VW Racing last year and without telling them which map was on the car I was pleased to be told it was the best mapped Edition 30 they had tried due to it's smoothg driveability....I went to have my KW Clubsports set up.

It's not alll about figures it's all about below the curve too!

Following batch of updates will come during next week when the car is taken out of storage and prep work is beginning along with lots of interesting parts to be installed.
(and I do apologize in advance that the pics will be nothing like what Arin@APR takes)

Top Cat:
There not bad pics.  :happy2: Looks like they have been put in a light box to take them, so some thought has gone into it.  :happy2:  It cant be easy to make a crank look sexy.  :rolleye:
