I have a June 2015 build as well. I went the JB1 route. Don't know if I have a new ecu I think there for 2016 MY GTI.

Hey Walter I think you answered me on my vortex thread as well. I may go for the JB1, just have heard how the whole piggyback thing is a little "hack". But then again it's not dealer detectable and prob better than the piggy backs of the 90s. I really want to know if and when it's possible to get APR tunes with newer Ecu's.
Any updates on program switching availability for our cars, as well as coming up with a plan to tune the new ECU's that don't allow OBD flashing? I'm going to wait for my 10k dealer oil change (with a 5k self oil change in between) to tune it. I'm going to need program switching so I can travel without fear of not being able to find 93 octane lol

There is an August 4 update on the APR homepage that talks about program switching and pricing. It says the pricing is listed on the individual product pages. But there is nothing listed on the TSI Gen3 page.

I'm having a Dickens of a time trying to find ok information about switching. Does the APR Stage 1 support switching between stock and the Stage 1 profile?

Stacked? You'd have to have some good fuel for that. I know someone accidentally did it in theirs but multiple other users commented that it ran great and fast as hell. Unless you're running high octane or meth, I wouldn't stack.
What's your purpose for wanting to?

Eh stage 1 plus piggyback sounds dangerous if you're stock otherwise. As far as i know stage 1's p much maximize stock hardware. Cant imagine the cost/risk vs benefit of stacking would be worth it.
For what it's worth RJ is the epitome of FBO, including Stage 2+ tune and IS38, and is at consistent 380whp. His next step after putting over 10K into his car is stacking JB1 on top of his tune with meth for even more gains. I dont imagine stacking being useful under any other circumstances (aka anything less than FBO), but hey if you're willing to be the guinea pig we'd all love to see what happens
Personally I wouldn't do it. I'm not saying you can't, it just sounds like a bad idea waiting to happen.

I have an APR stage 1 tune on my 2016 GTI S manual and averaged 36 miles from DC to Massachusetts and back. Thumbs up!

What is the latest APR version on the 2015 GTI? I think my revision is 1.1!

hey guys, I read through the thread and wanted to confirm. Are 2017 GTI's unable to be flashed to APR stage 1 due to this patch on new ECU's? Or has APR found a way to get around this? Arin?

I'm pretty sure 2017's are able to be flashed. I just had the DSG tune done today on my one.
