Dear APR:
Thanks to your excellent tuning software and R1 valve my car is now driving faster and sounding much cooler- keep up the good work!
When I first pulled out of the shop I wasn't that impressed with the performance increase but over the last few days it has seemed to have grown on me- am I imagining this phenomenon or did the car adapt and improve performance? I love it now though- just had a $ shift from 1st to 2nd and chirped my brand new tires, thats a first for my 180q.

Dyno is the only way to really know if you had a good gain. Im sure your did because I know APR and im sure they would do you right. After spending money you always think its faster but sometimes thats not always true.

giac x-chip is for 225's, and you were right about the chip adapting to the new maps, it takes a couple days to fully adapt. I felt the same difference, i wasnt too impressed in the begining and then after a few hours then after a day or two i was like "this is awsome" i have apr 93 flash btw

RE: Dear APR:
Yeah i have the APR 93 too along with the stock program too, I knew that APR was the most conservative tune but I went with them b/c the shop was close and I was concerned about driveability and longevity, my TT just hit 100k and I would like to keep it for another hundred thou or so! 
or at least long enough to do a few more mods-

GIAC X will work on any 1.8T .. just model/engine code specific.
