i put my r1 in about a week before my 1+ flash,, the R1 tore on the test drive... it was hell getting it warrantied too and they havent held up their end of the deal yet... get a forge 007, its tried and true...

what good does a warranty do when your car is down and u have to mail the R1 back and wait for them to get it, then mail you a new one>?

 

My shop said they will give me a new one....

 

my next one will be a forge..... i got my stratosphere when i was a newb and got it cheap and used....... but it is still working fine, will probably switch after the tp while i am doing the fm

and i just ordered the tp...... so that will be probably next month

 

forge makes some good stuff. i liek the 007 and the RS

 

Theres no point. The strat dv will last aslong as the carassuming it is the piston version.

 

thanks for all the help! i got the APR one today it still was a really hard decision but the guy at the shop i bought it from was really kool and gave it to me for $130 no tax. and the forge was more money and not in stock, which helped my decision... lol
im happy , so far
ill give my feed back if anything happens

Thanks again for the help!

i should be getting my GIAC chip sometime before christmas!!

 

my apr one ripped sent it back and it was all dandy, turn around time was a bitch a round 2 weeks had to use the oem valve

 

thats easy to say if your OEM wasnt torn too...

its just sad if a DV designed for their massive stage 3+ program tears on a test drive after getting a 1+ flash...

I looked for a boost leak for a month and was even about to get reflashed because i wasnt making full boost and all the shops and apr insisted it couldnt be the R1.. but when i removed it, and saw it was torn and called them, APR said oh yeah thats been happening a lot... i had talked to them four or five times and they swore they were bulletproof then!

bad service

 

i dunno if it is or not...... like i said, i got it used with about 20k on it a yr ago....... but i get stuttering from it now and then, so that is why i was going to replace it

 

damn im gunna be pissed if mine takes a dump on me.. i dont have a boost gauge yet so i might not be able to tell if it does..
in the case that it does, like i said the guy at the shop was really kool maybe he will hook me up.
