RE: APR ECU Upgrade. My input!
The thing that I don't like is I keep feeling like I want things to break on my car, just so I can upgrade everything.
Right now I'm praying to blow the K03 so I can get a K04
plus it makes it a little bit easier to convince the wife/parents to let ya do it
+1 on never hearing anything bad about the TIP chip
I read somewhere when a person was conserned about the transmission not having enough time to build pressure and shift itself. causing it to overheat. this was just their consern not any evidence to go with it
