APR Loyalist

My 2013 VW GTI Drivers Edition is equipped with the following APR Products:

• APR Stage 1 Plus ECU Tune
• APR DSG TCU Tune
• APR Carbon Fiber Intake
• APR Carbon Fiber Inlet Pipe

I have owned seven VW Models over the years, and each one has been enhanced by APR. I have never regretted any of my purchases, or choice to modify my cars with APR Tunes, Performance Parts and other Products.

I appreciate the brilliantly engineered, and flawlessly performing offerings that APR produces, and how well they work in conjunction with other APR solutions. Which is why I choose to modify my car, with almost all of the performance options, available for my platform. Especially under the hood! The four APR Modifications listed above brought my GTI TO LIFE, creating massive power gains, and lending my car a whole new personality! In a GREAT WAY! Just the Stage 1 Tune alone, adds enough “oomph” to give you chills, and a uncontrollable ear to ear smile… For weeks! That feeling of true joy and exhilaration, when something surprises the ish outta you, it’s so thrilling!

I live in Southern California, and the Emissions Standards/Regulations are nightmarishly strict. I am so thankful APR offers CARB Compliant Tuning and Performance Modifications for my GTI!!! The outside offerings are slim to none… My GTI is not a daily driver, but it’s nice to be street legal, CARB Complaint, and not dread the Smog Shop every couple years… Don’t have to “De-Tune”, and literally disassemble my car, returning it to stock every 24 months… And then put it all back together again!!!

Sooner or later, I would like to TRULY BUiLD my VW, at which time it’ll be a “non-road use vehicle”: And I will trust in APR’s BIG POWER program, to make her an absolute BEAST! Starting with the APR STAGE III GTX2867R - 2.0T EA888 FWD GEN 1, Big Turbo Kit, and many other supporting products, as I trust everything will work in absolute harmony. It’s clear the research, development and “cross-product-development” at APR/Holley, is as good as it gets! Industry wide!

I am the Admin and Creator of three MK6 Golf Facebook Groups/Communities, totaling over 85,000 Members Worldwide, and I whole heartedly promote APR whenever the opportunity arises. I trust in my referrals and recommendations, knowing my valued Members will be elated with the outcome, having acquired THE BEST solutions for their vehicles.

Performance, reliability, quality, longevity, safety, compliance, and value… That’s what APR offers. Their Tunes and Performance Parts are known for “operational integrity” too. Meaning to me at least, they won’t harm your engine or car, like MANY OTHER BRAND’S PRODUCTS DO! My GTI has only 37K original miles, and is in exceptional mechanical and aesthetic condition!!! Seriously, probably better than the day she rolled off the lot, brand new. I plan on keeping it that way for years to come, and know that APR’s offerings wont jeopardize that, or put my beloved car at risk.

Thanks for the read, if you made it this far, lol! I wanted to share my excellent experience with the Blog readers, just like I do with my Enthusiast Groups, in case anyone is on the fence. “GO APR”! Also an opportunity for me to thank APR/Holley for the incomparable products I LOVE, and share my experience as a loyal repeat customer. Please keep up the good work, INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE/RELATIONS, and everything I know and love about APR!

Last mention! The APR/Holley Support Team maintains the BEST CS I have experienced, maybe ever! Something that’s lost in time these days. It’s so refreshing and appreciated.
