J, Thanks, I appreciate it and I agree but it looks like that won’t happen… More and more people keep popping up saying they are getting it or their dealer has it… Nothing from APR about me getting one…
I thought about your point on AR and I’m sure APR’s not a fan of the site but I think I’ve represented them well over here the last few years. I stay away from most of the drama with the whole crew thing, exhaust, etc.
Will be curious to see results, logs and such as that will tell the story not BS shop claims and dynos…
Sounds like you’ve picked up a nice toy… Just not a fan of the C63 looks wise or most MB’s I do like the new GT car. That sucks about the accident hopefully everything gets fixed to your liking… Enjoy it!
Scott, Like Crown said it still says APR but I think the design has changed since the original but I haven’t taken the time to look… I guess will see eventually how the take it to market… The lack of control on information flow has been a joke but that’s what you get when you’re not in control… People are already talking about getting the blower and having other tuners make a tune which would happen anyway, but even less APR can do about that now I suppose…
Saki, Thanks I appreciate it! Well I was the first person they called… lol Just not since Magnuson is now running the gig… Sucks for me… Also, agreed on Ryan as he and I would put up results asap, but maybe that is the problem?
I think Richi deals with the Eurotech in NJ the one posting is in Vegas…
Yeah, I think they want dealers involved that’s for sure or at least what it looks like… That way they can get lots of nice dyno charts and such as opposed to me who would have slapped it on and immediately did logs and passes… Maybe they don’t want that? What does that say/tell you about it… Unfortuntately, dynos still sell shit so will see how long it is before anyone posts actual pass data… APR still hasn’t made theirs public… I’m pretty sure you’re right it’s not in their control any longer thus these shops making posts and such. APR would have shut that down or never let it happen if they were supplying the hardware IMO… As for dealers by me I have two, remember ECS did the install on my pulley and made the video that pretty much anyone who’s installed the pulley has used, they could have done the same with this… Also, HS tuning is very close but I’ve never had work done by them I did meet most of the crew the night Jeff and I went to Norwalk and we did a bunch of runs on the highway when I ran a bunch of their shop cars. I’d have worked with them also but nope! I’m kind of in a pickle as well since the DSG tune still needs some tweaks and I’d like to think they help on that but if not I’ll just have the dealer flash a stock file as at this point it’s not doing much and probably hurting me ET wise as my passes have shown, given I’ve trapped 120+ I should be going 11.5-6 not 11.8-9 but the shifts are causing the poor ET.
Brandon, Thanks bud! I do appreciate it and glad some feel I’ve helped others. I have no doubt I’ve helped sell APR tunes and such but they’ve been great to me as well so it’s a two way street just wish I could have helped with this…
Drob, I think that is plausible but I think it’s more a way to familiarize the dealer with the product and install along with getting dynos and such before the overall release…
Scott, The Eurocode dude is the first car I heard about… Early on I had thought they shipped to car for APR to write the install instructions but I’m guessing the blower was sent by Magnuson to EC and they did the intstall… Eurocode is always weasling in on the action since they don’t add much value anywhere…
So… I talked things over with my brother last night and I ran something by him that we had talked about previously… We may go in a totally different direction but I need his help and his time is limited… If I go this route it could be an epic comedy really… I’ll leave it at that for now but I’m really leaning in this direction ;D
