So I've searched high and wide, and all I can find for issues relating to APR's Stage 1 ECU flash are issues directly related to mishandling of the ECU.
Has anyone heard of any issues, or had any issues themselves, directly related to the increase in power from the ECU flash? Blown turbos or screwed up internals that never or rarely happen on a stock GTI?
Please tell me no (if it is the truth) and convince me to get this mod. My dealer, according to what I could gather from talking to them, and according to another user here, seems to be mod-friendly in a sense where they won't try to screw me if say, my water pump goes and I had my ECU flashed.
Please don't tell me to get it just because it is awesome. From everything I've read, I know it's awesome (though I want to experience it!). Tell me to get it because nobody, or close to nobody, has had any non-warranty issues with their vehicle afterwards. If there are issues, please tell me what they are so I can decide if it is worth the risk.
I've talked about this in other threads, but I really haven't had too many solid answers. All I've really had is "Just change your oil every 5,000 miles and you'll be fine". Great advice (seriously, thank you), but it still doesn't answer my question.
