Make sure you really, really never intend to buy one. Plenty of forum members here that ending up spending $3000+ because they went IS20 -> IS38 -> VortexI'd love a Vortex, but $2,200 is not something I want to spend at this point.

Why is it $2,200? It goes on sale for $1,500 fairly often.
Do they have an OTS IS38 tune? He was going to pay that regardless.Don't forget another $500 for a custom tune.

Apr had one for a while for the GTI. They had a version for the stock downpipe and a stage 2 for an aftermarket downpipe. For whatever reason it’s not a thing anymore.Do they have an OTS IS38 tune? He was going to pay that regardless.
APR still has the downpipe version of their IS38 tunes available but the stock DP one is not, at least when I got my IS38 installed back in Feb.Apr had one for a while for the GTI.

The EPA cracked down on them.Apr had one for a while for the GTI. They had a version for the stock downpipe and a stage 2 for an aftermarket downpipe. For whatever reason it’s not a thing anymore.
Yeah man that’s odd.APR still has the downpipe version of their IS38 tunes available but the stock DP one is not, at least when I got my IS38 installed back in Feb.
Its strange that they don't offer their Is20 Stage 2 tunes anymore but you can still get their IS38 ones.
That much I’ve heardThe EPA cracked down on them.
It's in the works confirmed by Ed on the FB page.Do they have an OTS IS38 tune? He was going to pay that regardless.
I have the same turbo for about 20k miles. The last 6k on a flex fuel tune. I feel like I have more headroom for increasing boost, but rather keep it conservativeI'm running @projectTVMK7 's HPA IS38+ that he ran for 20,000 miles and now I've put another 8000 miles on it. Too early to tell about reliability but I have no issues to report of so far. If the + versions can provide the reliability that they state in their marketing then I'm happier doing that then potentially blowing up an IHI/OEM IS38 turbo that has to be uninstalled, shipped, re-installed. Especially true if you're like me and need to have a shop do the install.
