Ha. Classic.

[QUOTE=Arin@APR;9945822]Hansel, I think I found out why you ran stock times.

Your car was flashed stock by the dealership before you ran!

I decided to dig a little deeper. None of this made sense at all. You ran a stock time with APR Stage 2+ software? Well, a little check on your vin in Audi’s database and it shows you were flashed with the factory software update sometime AFTER you got APR software and BEFORE you went to the track.

I’ve blurred your Vin. I can send you the unblurred screenshot if you need it.

Case closed. Hansel was flashed back to stock after he got APR software and before he went to the drag strip.

Lol, untill he was flashed back to APR software during the dealer visit in July, he was stock.

I think the cold hard truth about Hansel is this:

  1. He buys stuff based on what people post online (he’s a mental midget who just follows)
  2. He tests his stuff in the WORST possible conditions, and gets disappointed when his results aren’t what the BEST possible conditions produced
  3. He complains online and thinks something is wrong with his car because he doesn’t understand what Density Altitude is.

Arin nailed it the first time really…it is the conditions / driver / other factors yielding disparity between his results and primetime/bear/rynurz. It is not the ‘tune didn’t take’ (that in itself is comical…it’s maxing out the TVSr1320 based on pullley size determined RPMs and ZERO bypass…so the 1320 is doing all it can. Does he think some parameters took and others didn’t?

Early in this thread, I mentioned how comical it is that people don’t understand the effects of density altitude. Let’s look at Hansel as an example. He bought the car years ago, got it tuned by stasis, ran it high 12s in good DA (shit in itself but that’s another story), then got APR 2 tuned instead. He loved it and posted on multiple forums that the tune was great, and APR service was great. Then he tests it…in July…in 90 degree heat and 5000 feet of density altitude WORSE than the fastest guys had when they set records.

After that he cries, starts his thread.

Let’s see what happened on the X5M he tuned last July…

OH…shocker! EXACT same scenario. He buys a tune, runs it in 100 degree heat mid July during the midwest’s hottest heat wave of all time, and then complains the tune sucks.

LOL! That’s classic… what a fucking idiot… This is why I recomend anyone who tunes these cars gets a vagcom cable and knows how to review at least the basics… But no it’s way easier to blame APR, GIAC, Revo and then drag them through the mud for weeks… Dude owes you an apology and PLEASE don’t refund his cash…

#106

I love that BEFORE this was figured out, shitbreath Hansel went and

a) alienated APR and their legions of supporters
b) made an ass of himself on the forum
c) spent another $2000 on REVO lololol

#107

The fact that he claims to be such a pro at this tuning/drag game and doesn’t have the sense to request that the dealer does not overwrite his flash just shows how full of it he is. I’ve used the same dealer and I request “no ecu/ecm flash or update” every single time I go and this is the first car I have ever tuned. Not once have they had a problem with that request.

#108

also interesting that we now know his name. NTR…

#109

LOL! ;D

This thread has all sorts of WIN.

#110

not the least of which was this post, by you

[quote=Datadatum]29 pages for this?

The automotive equivalent of having IT guy say, “Sir, your computer is not plugged in.”

Time for a public apology…

#111

Thread of the year lol. Both here and on AZ.

Arin, I’d bump your karma, but I already did so earlier for having to deal with this idiot.

#112

Maybe the funniest thing is how disappointed swankpeRFection is that in fact

  1. the car is healthy
  2. the tune is healthy
  3. it was a misunderstanding

He’s still trying to rape Arin and APR. That guy needs to get back to stroking himself while rubbing his giant Roger Federer poster and fuck off the forum.

#113

lol what is the Roger Federer reference about? I keep seeing it but I don’t know the context.

#114

Interesting how complete radio silence from hansel who has been responding within minutes of everything on audizine. And skywagon throwing in sad faces…

#115

The “RF” in peRFection stands for Roger Federer. This was corroborated by swank’s posts in the tennis forum. sak pointed this out, IIRC.

#116

maybe returning his revo tune? :smiley:

#117

Got it, thanks!

No way he’s returning Revo. He’s going to bitch about how he doesn’t want to support a company who insults him by giving legitimate drag strip tips.

Yeah, I’ve tried(several times) to explain to Ed/Skywagon that his issue is that the car shifts at 5800 - 6200 RPM… However, it does still shows what I would say are low timing values and high pull… I also told him I have not seen enough 2014 logs and that other tuners, including GIAC with a DSG tune(fix low rpm shifts) were having issues so there may be more to it… Very nice guy and I’m not slamming him but he doesn’t put everything together very quickly and I’m not a APR/tuning company employee so I don’t think he believes me, which is fine…

#120

What a total cluster that was.

In the end, glad I could help?

Was that really worth all the insults? Who knows…
