APR fuel pump today
« on: 02 May 2008, 18:04 »
well, teated me and my car to the APR motorsport fuel pump upgraded software today, and I'm very impressed, so impressed I've treated my car and me to a full TBE Milltek to :laugh:

Awesome are marketing the fuel pump and map as a mod to improve midrange and driveability rather than all out top-end power and I confirm it does exactly what it says on the tin.
Not that the car was lacking in the midrange area before, now its fantastic, feeling really crisp, smooth and what feels like another bucketfull of midrange torque.

Like I said I was that impressed I've ordered a full Milltek TBE, in the resonated variety, which should be here in a couple of weeks.

I had a chat with Pablos, who is looking after the APR stuff at Awesome alongside Jim, and he reckons you can run stage 2 software without upgrading the intercooler, although the intercooler would be nice as a precaution against heat soak in the summer(if we get 1),
so seeing as I'll have everything else required for stage 2 it would be rude not to :evil:

Hopefully it will all be done before the RR day :smiley:

sounds nice, what did adding the exhaust add to the insurance ?
