if you'll look at my build thread i just Dyno'd stage 1 APR on a K04 car (Cupra)

it made a staggering 300.1  WHP (estimated 330hp at the flywheel).

the differance compared to stock is just night and day.

ohhh..  but you would want an upgraded HPFP at some stage.

the OE fuel pump is maxed out on stage1 , i'm running almost constant 130 bars of pressure.

and as you can see in my dyno there really is some power loss in the midrange due to lack of fuel.
