I've done APR tunes on about 6 or 7 VW's, and never had a problem either. In fact you end up getting substantially better fuel economy as well. Like 15% better if that makes any sense whatsoever given the power gain. I have a theory that if you over boost it high enough to around 745 lbs of boost, and 4000-4500 HP it will actually run on air, manufacture gasoline, and and save the worlds energy crisis.

When I suggested this, Ken at Concept 1 looked at me sideways, rolled his eyes, and walked away while shaking his head. He just doesn't understand the sciencing I guess.

Ask for Ken @ Concept 1. He's an awesome dude, and has forgotten more about VW/Audi than half the guys that build them will ever know.
