It’s pretty likely a stage II tune from any of the tuners will be the same…if the timing is reasonable. I think you could squeeze a couple degrees of timing from APR 93 or 100, if you knew you were always using good gas and gas for the right season. If GIAC takes advantage of that, there may be a tenth to gain. But so far, the tune looks like it hasn’t learned from the APR v1 issues, WRT the load map.
PT, you are indeed correct. It’s not in the database but I’m not sure why. Here’s a video, with a picture of the timeslip taken by my own hand:
12.88 @ 108.9 for the GIAC 91 car, user seinsmeld. IIRC he has since sold his car and got a 2013.
That has more to do with your shift than the software. You gain probably 0.2 seconds on a shift that I can see on the graphs. Switching the two drivers (having you drive the stage 2 car) to the other person’s car… you will see more of a difference between the two cars, especially with a lower speed start.
I agree that this will likely be the case. It would be awesome (for me especially) if the GIAC stage 2 is a huge improvement over what APR has to offer, but I would expect the overall performance to be extremely close. I haven’t driven any APR cars, but I would say that the AWE/GIAC combo on my cars feel a refined as a factory tune which is a huge plus for me. With past tunes on other cars, I often had issues with driveability etc but not this time. 8)
I wonder if it makes sense for GIAC/AWE to make a smaller pulley for 2013 DSG cars to exploit their 6500 RPM shift points. As far as I understand, current APR St.II maxes out supercharger to 7200 RPM - rev limiter of a manual B8. Theoretically smaller pulley that can max out SC already at 6500 RPM can give the same peak HP as manual B8, but better TQ lower.
Lol Tsivas…nice admission on your part. FWIW nobody’s car is as much of a VCDS log monster as yours, the flow your car produces puts both Primetimes and Bears cars to shame. What’s awesome is we have a bit of a challenge here:
The first 6MT in the 11s…who’s it gonna be?
1.) the professor: 6MT APR S2 V2 104 tune
2.) the charger: 6MT GIAC S2 with test pipes
3.) the works car: 6MT GIAC S2 ex-awe car
4.) the wildman: 6MT APR S2 V2 with headers. 492whp Eurotuner special
5.) the big shot: 6MT APR S2 V2 beta with headers
I’m gonna keep hyping this up until it happens.
6.) AA: 6mt APR stageIII ;D
What is the best 6mt time so far?
apexit hit 12.447 and in second was me with 12.465 as per the list on AZ
6.) The skunkworks car? Lol. Sure let’s throw Arin’s hat in the ring, he’s got access to the strip right now.
Feel free to join in Skid or Apexit or anyone else.
Mid 12s is a long way away from 11s. :-\
How about option 6) none ;D
Not until we have a launchable clutch/fw setup.
I want something similar to the JHM RS4 clutch/LWFW setup. God does that setup hook/grab.
(both those times were on pump fwiw)
Luis’ time was on 100 per AZ list.
2012/02/25 - 12.447 @ 113.68 MPH - 1.890 - 60 FT - 6MT - APR S2+ 100 - 100 AKI - apexit1
So was Eurocode’s
2011/10/24 - 12.518 @ 120.84 MPH - 2.195 - FT - 6MT - APR S2+ 100 - 100 AKI - EuroCode
Yeah… Top end pull seems very nice… Can’t wait to see some strip and 60 130 numbers…
JIMP
Yeah I totally forgot… Seinsmeld
The day I set the 12.75 stock RS4 record, he went a best of 12.88.
Bangoman just updated the quarter mile database update thread earlier today actually. Video with the timeslip.
Looks like 60-130 in mid to low 8s. Thats insane with just a tune with that big fat pig!
Bigger turbos you may see 10s with the 4.0TT
How many tenths do you get by putting it in dynamic versus auto? Once I know I have a viable clutch alternative that I can afford, I’ll hit the strip more and learn how to launch my car. Until then, my 6MT won’t be the one. After then it still won’t be the one.
