not really…they’re all over the place. we need to see more data. Only one GIAC car and two REVO cars have run.
Even within each tune, the cars are all over the place. There are mid 13 second stage one APR cars, and then 12.6 cars. There is a 12.4 tuned REVO car…and a 13.something tuned REVO car.
I agree. These guys seem to all just do the same song and dance. Over all it seems to always be the same results. The biggest differences between the companys and there results seem to only be in there advertisements and media release data
Yep one good time out of the Revo tuned car and it was supposedly on 93 by Auditude… I don’t buy it the more results I see… Someone posted results yesterday… they ran a blistering 12.85 at 108! They went 13.14 stock… Car has intake and tune now… Says his LC doesn’t work anymore just let the APR claims… hmm…
I saw that on AZ. Shame about the LC fail. I think you’re good sticking with APR for your tune. I see APR are trying to keep up their presence in the B8 S4 forum with another random post, about their motorsports exhausts this time.
I love how they launch these tunes, then get feedback on them from the customers
‘my car went into limp mode’
‘my launch control doesn’t work’
Isn’t that the kind of shit they should have found out in testing them? I think APR owns 3 B8 S4s. You’d think they’d maybe come across this stuff in their ‘R&D’. No idea about REVO…I don’t think they’re nearly as into the B8 as APR.
seems odd that REVO knows this but APR is still scrambling around trying to determine if it’s even their tune that is causing this on the APR cars.
[quote=some guy on audizoo]Mine does the the same thing as the APR cars, revs to about 3800 and soft launches. Revo warned me before I got the tune that my particular ECU ID (ending in “B”) would have this problem, and that a new file fixing LC would be available soon. Apparently the other ECU versions don’t have this problem and LC is working properly for them. I’m supposed to get a new file flashed locally by the end of the month. Really looking forward to it, my launches were horrible at the strip last weekend.

also funny
[quote=ARIN@APR][b]Now to explain what’s going on here. Basically the ECU is told it should see a set amount of boost pressure. When the ECU gets NEAR that level, it will react and dump boost, so since we want to take advantage of all the boost pressure the charger can product, because we’ve tested and found it’s safe and that the fueling system can even keep up at sea level in very very cold environments, we told the ecu to bump up the boost set point in different weather conditions. What happens is the bypass valve says shut and more pressure is produced.
With version 1 software we did not tell the ECU to bump up the request enough in cold weather. Because of this the bypass valve opened a little and lost pressure. It turned out to be more pressure than we would have liked, which did result in less power being made, but it was still safe. [/b]

a.k.a. we saw that REVO smoked us by asking for unattainable levels of boost, which meant the bleed would be ZERO full time, so we did the same. We’re sorry we scoffed at this in REVO’s thread. We know we look silly.
lol

Haven’t seen logs from the official v2 but my beta tune hit over 16psi with very little bypass… The requested and actual were very close still unlike the Revo logs… Will have to see some v2 logs which should be available sooner than later…
MUCH sooner than later ;D
You knew I was thinking of you didn’t you… lol Please shoot them my way once you have them bud… much appreciated… ECU back today?
Dunno. I am not tuned yet on my S4, but seems SOMEONE is getting some reach arounds from APR, or just really nervous. LOL.
^^huh? Lol
I think he’s trashing primetime…intimating that PT is feeling footsteps and is worried that the GIAC car driven by 1FastStory is going to beat his 11.7 @ 116
For whatever reason though he doesn’t remember that Emilio Estevez played Two Bit Matthews in The Outsiders. Not siggs.
I don’t really care. I’m just getting a tune in the spring and am evaluating what to get. But you two guys are funny with all this back and forth!
whotwoZ?
also what tune are you leaning to
use a dart board ;D
Yea, there certainly are some options. I know people who have gone with the GAIC file on other cars, and they’ve had no issues, 100k miles on it, etc… I’m most concerned with power, keeping 'her a sleeper. The whole pulley thing scares the crap out of me, to be honest, so something that gives me pulley power without the pulley makes Siggs happy.
Siggs…do you base your entire decision on the dyno, provided by the guy selling you the part? I find that a kind of half-hearted approach to researching a purchase that may in fact void your warranty. You’d better make the right choice (I don’t mean the most warranty sneaky…I mean if you’re taking this risk buying any tune, make for damn sure you get the best one).
I think if I saw 5 quarter mile results from 5 GIAC cars, 5 REVO cars and compared them to 5 APR cars, I’d then feel more comfortable ‘affirming’ the dyno results the two late comers achieved…but to be honest the quarter mile results we’ve seen so far are basically IDENTICAL to APR’s results.
people can shit on this theory all they want but the race program provides me the comfort i need… and with this v2.0 software its a fucking monster and im just itching to get onto the track again
