APR Tuned

Gone for a couple of days a look how much I missed, well the plan is to get the GT28RS BT upgrade but right now I really need to work on my exhaust system so I'm looking at a 3" DP and 2.5 catback. I have heard mixed reviews with the N75J but I think I'm still going to give it a go.

Regarding my chip, I had actually spoken to Unitronic before I had purchased the APR, however I thought that APR had a better head start at perfecting the tuning. I had also looked at GIAC and REVO and pretty much they all promised around the same HP increase the only deference was the upgrades from stage 1, support, tuning accessories and seniority.

Right now I think either APT or APR would be my choice for BT upgrade.

^^^^ I was actually talking about there BT software ...APR is known to be more reserved whereas the unitronic squeezes out every inch of power that can be made out of a specific kit, safely that is. There 630cc file is amazing its been known to give great reliability while also giving over 380whp and more on the GT30's.

Question why would u upgrade ur chip for the KO3 when u have plans to upgrade the turbo? That means u gonna have to resend ur ecu to be retuned again once u do the upgrades.

There is some history behind me doing this, when we initially did the engine and transmission swap we hadn't planned for it at that time, but had to because the automatic transmission went. This being a daily driver, we opt to just go ahead and do it. We had the requested that the dealer recode the keys to the new engine and instrument cluster, they did a half baked job.

Having had the problem once again as a result of the battery going dead, we went with an immo-defeat and in order to have that done we had to get the ECM upgrade/chipped. So we did that in that go on the setup we currently have. The BT setup we are definitely planning on which also requires some additional items, such as the FMIC w/ piping, hoses (Samco), exhaust upgrade, then have the ECM chipped for that.

dale, have u done ur exhaust system as yet? Still went with the 2.5" cat back with the 3" DP?

Reason i'm asking is because i went with a 3" DP and lookiin now to get a 3" cat-back...so still contemplating on whether or not i want to go with the 2.5" or the 3"
