Project: AWD Turbo Family Hauler (PART DEUX)
That's certainly a route to take, I did a lot of research on the APR tunes and the APR Plus tunes when I bought this car. The regular APR tune is $700 I think and offers the most power, and some people seem to get away with having work done at "mod friendly" dealers, but the guy at NGP told me about a customer that money shifted his car, then learned the dealer had "accidentally" plugged the car in during an oil change, flagging his warranty.

The APR Plus tune is $1100 and offers similar power and less torque than the JB4. You still need a nod & wink agreement with a dealership to do warranty work on it, and if you accidentally get flagged you'd have to take the car to NGP in Lorton for future warranty work because they're the closest APR dealer. I ultimately decided the $600 premium of the APR Plus tune wasn't worth it over the JB4 when I can uninstall the JB4 and waltz into any dealership, vs. needing to like, know a guy to keep bringing an APR plus car into a dealer. For my $1100, I want that shit in writing.
