    Thinking about flashing my 08' Jetta 2.5L with APR stage 1 software. My only question is, is the flash worth it for a car without a turbo?

    i cant speak specifically about apr, however i do have a unitronic tune and i wish i would have been tuned by c2 or um for the fact that they have more options, such as turbo software and sri software.

    so it really just depends on what your ultimate goal is I suppose

    lol, until you drive UM.

    no offense, but APR is likely the worst option on a 2.5... its right there with GIAC.

    i have a couple of GOOD friends with APR, and they were blown away with UM... but they arent looking on spending an extra 300 for the better driveability and the extra 2-5 hp from UM... i mean, they are in bags.../ nuf said/

    I was thinking about a UM tune. Ill probably wait until I get the SRI. I have APR Stage 2 and Like it a lot with the mods I have. I just cant spend another $300 for 2-5hp unless I add the SRI, then it would be worth the extra $300 for a tune.
