No home flashing for APR. Get an APR Stage 1 tune, install IS20 or IS38, run a JB4 on top of the APR.APR don't allow for at-home flashing, do they?
Having Cobb support for the 1.8 would make this much easier.

This is somewhat the idea that I'm leaning toward at the moment. Seeing as the ECU flash check will very shortly be part of smog out here. Been following the jb4 IS38 on the 1.8T thread as I figured it might the least pain in the ass way to do a turbo swap in California now.No home flashing for APR.

I think BMS wasn't allowed to sell the JB4 in CA though. You can get a used one. Should probably pick one up ASAP.This is somewhat the idea that I'm leaning toward at the moment.

I assume JB4 has to be unplugged or at least hidden for smog though? At least with APR 1 + JB4 or just JB4 you don't have to worry about going through miles or cycles required to set readiness.

Interesting. Gotta have someone remote control your computer to flash. It's another option! Not saying I like it, but it's another option.these folks claim to facilitate it

You can get a new JB4 in CA, but you can't buy it from them directly, it has to be through like BFI or something iirc. Alternatively, I do happen to be selling mine right now .I think BMS wasn't allowed to sell the JB4 in CA though. You can get a used one. Should probably pick one up ASAP.
Nooooo... Don't sell it....You can get a new JB4 in CA, but you can't buy it from them directly, it has to be through like BFI or something iirc. Alternatively, I do happen to be selling mine right now .
lol. It's good, but open source tuning does everything I ever wanted, so it's kind of redundant now.Nooooo... Don't sell it....
Isn't CA smog only after 8 years?
It's going to be a no - I hear they are working on a tubo upgrade/tune that is.Also it looks like APR Stage 1 is approved by CA CARB, I've been trying to find out if stage 3 is...

You can run the stock R DP on that tune with no issue (think of it as really a stage 1 tune for the R). Still would need to flash back to stock for smog regardless.Stage 3 won't be as it requires an aftermarket DP to work and I don't know of any CARB legal DPs.
