Nam,

T2T said that he was getting right at 307lbs of torque. I also did get pictures up of the S3 emblems on my car. Looky down to see and go into my gallery for more pics. PeePee racers beware!!!

Cheers!

Your A3 looks great. What els do you plan on doing to your A3? Check out the one at www.969motorsports.com

 

Osmand, checked out your A3 on your website. You should dump a few of those mods into a photo gallery on this forum.
Back on topic:
Warning, anyone looking to chip their A3, don't go to APR. Apparently they're working some bugs out of their program and have greatly tuned it down from the avertised power ratings. I have the Stage II program with exhaust and was quite happy with my 243hp and 307lb-ft torque. But I took it in, two weeks ago, to get the latest version upgrade and I couldn't even make the wheels slip in second gear. I called APR and they told me they had to tune the program down because they were getting complaints about some fuel delivery issues.
Until they can work these issues out, I wouldn't recommend them.

 

f***

what do i do now? is the car gonna blow up on me? =) i haven't gotten my ecu upgraded since my initial chip, should i do something about this? put it back in stock mode for now? go to the apr dealer and demand my $ back?

 

Well, hey now. I'll definitely be racing any of you APR guys now. At least until my A3 blows up!!! J/K LOL

They always have different versions and upgrades. Just hang on and wait. They'll have a correction before too long.

Cheers!

i'll wait til you blow up your engine first, THEN i'll race you. hee hee j/k

 

that's what I'm thinking. In the beginning, everything is done to extremes. APR pushed the limits on their first try and now have tuned it back to bare bones until they work the bugs out. Hopefully they'll come out with a happy place in between the two extremes. Otherwise, I'll be looking for another chipping with someone else. I've got to have my torque back. If I can't slip the tires in the first three gears, I won't be happy. I'm hooked.

 

how come you're slipping in your first three gears, i'm only slipping on first gear.

 

T2T isn't slipping in the first three gear anymore with the tune reduction on the APR chip. Only my REVO chip is allowing that amount of torque. He's just unhappy that it's gone and he wants it back. Power is an addicting thing in these cars. I couldn't stand the three days mine went back to stock before it's shop visit. Painful to have something taken away.

yeah, but when T2T DID have the prior version of the upgrade, how was he able to slip and i can't? and i got the chip back in Feb, does this mean that the chip i got was already tuned down? when did T2T get his initial chip?
