As reported in the gen topics section, I got a stage 1 APR tune on Wed this last week. I have had the golf for about 3 1/2 years, and about 31,000 miles. I thought I would start a diary to post my impressions since the tune.
Day of Tune 03.27.2019: On the commute home after the tune, I could not tell much difference as I loafed along in commuter traffic. At one point I needed to get around some traffic, and punched the throttle to about 3/4 open. That is when I clearly saw and felt a big bump in power. The golf reved and pulled much quicker than stock. Other than this the car drove normally with no error messages or any other hickups.
2nd Day driven 03.29.2019: I did my normal bank and grocery run. One thing I noticed about my daily driving style; nearly all my errand driving I stay under 3,000 rpm. Looking at the APR graphs the bumps in petform really show after 3,0000 rpm. As in day one, I only had one chance to open up the throttle; I was cruising on the highway about 60 mph, I put the throttle about 3/4 open and in a blink of an eye the golf reved up and shifted quickly and just as quickly my speed warning that I was exceeding 75 mph came up on my display. Beyond this, the golf drive normally.
More to come...
