Hardware X Software. ?

Post by AFAP18 » Wed Mar 03, 2004 10:00 pm

After buying the hole hardware from APR (USA), turbos, DN, Cats, Exaulst, etc. and the software from a certain German company(which does a conservative remap), I was wondering if the boost problems that I am having is because the hardware was not built to the German software. ?

My remap was prepared to run our type of gazoline, with 91 OCTANES.

I would say yes. IMO anything beyond a stage 1 tune deserves a custom map.

Why didn't you buy the re-map from APR seeing as you got everything else from them - for the money you spent with them, you should've got it FOC???

Because firstly I got the Stage onem with the remap from Oettinger, and then I went up grading with APR hardware. Notice that Oettinger hardaware is pretty expensive here in Brazil.
The other issue is that it does not exist an APR distributor in Brazil yet, so I would not be able to make claims if the software was not alright.
So I will try to get in contact with APR, so maybe I can have a new software within the next weeks and smack my friends with their Modenas [img]images/graemlins/jump.gif[/img]
