Thinking about having an APR Stage 1 installed in Greensburg, PA. Like the data on HP and torque but have reservation about making any change to the 2008 TT (auto and FWD), I'm confident we all have the second thoughts. Only plan to replace the OEM filter with a K&N, not a major intake change. Looking for some opinions and personal experiences about the APR update as described. What do you think? Thanks, Dennis.

 

The 2.0T is a great motor stock. Adding in a chip will only make it more enjoyable. Just make sure you get the one for a stock fuel pump. They ungraded one is pricey from apr. Also, from what I remember, the 2.0T actually sees gains from an intake, but its been awhile since i looked at it.

 

Ya Stage 1 seems like the best approach and with APR current sale it's a good buy. Will check on fuel pump. Thanks for the idea, any other thoughts?

 

Save up for a new dv since the stock on doesnt hold up well with increased pressure on the 2.0. If you drive conservatively, you will actually pick up mpg

 

1. My Aunt and first cousins leave there and two if you get the one I believe their offering stage two for free upgrade.

l8r....

 

thanks for the replies. But what is a "dv" and how much? referring to cincytt's comment.

 

diverter valve Releases unused boost some have used this to make a swish noise or some have used to gain more torque/hp some even move it to a cooler spot in the engine bay as typically colder it better....
