I've been comparing these two new setups side by side as its what's available and supported at my local tuner which is USP Motorsports. Was wondering what everybody's opinion is on which option they would go with and why?
With either setup I would be upgrading fueling too, with APR going all the way to MPI and E85, and according to IE's Instagram page, they are going to be offering port injection on this setup soon too.
They both offer pretty close power number (I know they are probably both exaggerated), the only downside for me with APR is I would have to go back to my stock downpipe which would negatively affect the engine noise and top end power with how restrictive the stock cats were. And with IE, I would be giving up port injection (at least for now, but they do not offer an ETA on port injection).
Another downside to APR is if I were ever unable to find E85 (theres only 2 stations in my area that carry it) Id be kind of SOL, whereas the IE flex fuel sensor allows the tune to adjust to anything from 91 up to E40 (max E content for now). And to switch between 93 and E85 tunes on APR would require an hour drive to USP since they do not yet (again no ETA) offer at home tune switching
I'm currently FBO APR Stage 2, so already have all other necessary hardware. I asked this over on VW Vortex too and didn't get much of a response.
