hey guys, i just finished up installing my new APR R1 dv, so i thought i would show you guys some pics of the R1 vs the OEM stock one. i took it for a drive, and i really noticed a difference went i was WOT, the boost kicks in and holds much quicker than the stock did. great product, worth $$

 

thats the one i got. i love it and think its worth the money too. what a b*tch putting it on tho haha. i love the sound it makes with the chip

 

haha yeah, the intercooler/turbo pipe was right in the way of it, it took me like 1.5 hours, when it should have taken like 15 minutes, haha

 

looks good man, reminds i need to do a DV upgrade soon.. hmm

 

Yeah im not chipped yet, I just put in a new DV (007) and I aleady like and notice a difference. I get more vac at idle and more dynamic vac (pulls more vac on engine overspeed), and the boost is more responsive it seems like. Not to mension I like the sound.

 

cool man, but why did it take so long... its one of the easiest things to install on our cars.

 

depending on the year tho...

some cars have the dv in the most random spot that is a pain to get to..

 

i don't know. this is one of the first modfications i've done to my car. im a noob i guess, haha

 

what year is your car?

 

2001. the hardest part was getting the hoses off the stock one, they were stuck on like a b*tch
