APR tuning?

APR tuning is suppose to be very good.

They have a sale on now.

Anyone with experience with them and a GTI?

thanks

I have their software on my A3 2.0T which is the same as your GTI. It works well, I would speculate that there are more GTI/A3 cars on APR than all the other tuners combined.

Make sure you have a downpipe so you can get stage 2 software.

no problem... I love my car with stage 2... it's 270/320tq with just the downpipe (in my case a $100 ebay catless one) and APR tune).

ADDED BONUS - you'll get better MPGs with stage 2 compared to stock. I'm getting about 24 city, 29 highway.

You've got the newer TSI motor you your gains will be even better.

crhait has a spectacular aura aboutcrhait has a spectacular aura aboutcrhait has a spectacular aura about
2012 GTI DSG with stage 1 APR, Cold air intake and catback exhaust.

Love it! Great bang for your buck. You won't be sorry.

Like "the blue"W says gas mileage goes up a bit. My average since new is 27.8. On an hour highway trip I'm seeing 31-34MPG and I play a bit too.
