Ok, sorry for the lack of updates, been absolutely hammered at work!
I've been running the latest ecu software written especially by James at JBS / Custom Code for the last week and a half.
It's quite an improvement over the original APR software with a very noticeable increase in torque especially in the mid range.
Deceleration while staying in gear after hard acceleration has greatly improved too and is alot less violent than before.
There is now a more distinct difference in throttle response/aggression in 'S' mode too.
I got a couple of friends (who had driven the car previously) to drive the car without telling them it had new software installed.
The 1st one 'gave it some beans' immediately and noted straight away how much harder it pulled through the gears.
The 2nd one took me for a long drive around some fast twisty A/B roads and finally onto some motorway. He commented on how more responsive
it felt and how much harder it pulled, then summed it up with "f**king awesome!"
The first question they asked was "has the boost been turned up at all?" (they're both turbo drivers). Nope, boost still remains at
between 6 to 7psi on the standard pulley.
The following PerformanceBox times were achieved using this software on JBS's heavier avant.
All in all a great all round improvement to performance and driveability........I'm even happier than before!
I'm hoping to get some in gear acceleration times done when I get some free time.
As far as I know this software will be available to all APR dealers via APR's servers somepoint soon.
