Thats what the APR guyw said when I did my stage one. The VW dealer in Staunton is a licenced, in house APR dealer. Thats wherr I did mine. APR is still covered under warranty. My fuel mileage went up by 1-2mpg avg also. So far no bad side effect... well.. minus tires haha. I've kept an eye on oil lvls and oil heat. As well as any boost spikes or faults with the DV. I've done that with the help of the computer at tje VW dealership that my friend works at. So far evrything is very normal. I've put 7000mi on it with the tune amd intake. And taken it to an autox and I drive it very spirtitly on the street lol. No isses yet
Cool, I'm at 62k miles so warranty isn't an issue for me. I have a bluetooth OBD-II port but unfortunately the MKVs won't let you access Oil Temp or Pressure, the only things I could monitor to keep an eye on heat are water temp and exhaust temps. I have a shop that will give me a Revo tune at cost, but I'm still not sure I'll do it. If I use launch control I'll just shred the front tires to bits even at stock power levels, and I'd rather spend the money on the project car. ~220hp is just fine for a DD in NoVa traffic anyway. If it was my only car I'd definitely be screwing around with it though.
