Just APR'd ...and I'm not impressed.
All I heard was "Man, you gotta do it." So I did it...I forked over 700 bucks (2 programs + K&N filter)...and got ready to feel the boost. Didn't happen...sorry. Okay maybe a slight difference but the lag is still there and I've yet to get pushed back in my seat. I ain't inclined to go chasin more performance with down pipe and cat-back exhaust if this is typical return on investment. Not impressed guys.

Let the car adapt to the new software with some driving. Like everyone says, something has to be wrong. Do you have a boost gauge? I would recommend one so you can see how much you're boosting.
In related news, I'm gettng GIAC'd tomorrow

Do you have a boost guage to see where you're at? Also check for boost leaks and dv function.

Now I'm impressed!
Okay...garage called and said he forgot to set the program (program 1 is stock program 2 is boost)...so I switched it and immediately got what I was looking for. Guess I'll be in the market for some tires,brakes, clutch soon!

hahaha thought something like that had happened. That happened to a buddy of mine.
He pissed and moaned about how crappy the car was driving. I got in it, set it for 93 oct and took a drive. Told him it felt fast as heck to me. He got in it and dissapeared for nearly an hour. Came back with a giant grin on his face. Don't feel bad it has happened to others

Glad to see you figured out what the problem was, and glad you're enjoying the new chip!

So how do you change the settings anyway, is it something you have to do with the cruise control arm? I'm just wondering cause I'd like to mess with mine to see how it would feel when I bought it.

Now you know what we're talking about! If you get exhaust..think about Autotech (Ask Fowvay).
I remember having this setup before I went STG3. I used to get a nice resounding "POP!" at each gear shift when accelerating at or near full throttle! I don't get that any more...kinda miss it! Now I just change my shorts after most rides LOL!

2 programs + K&N for $700 ???
You posted that your package was for 2 programs and filter for $700.00.
Then you post that one was stock and one was boost...then you should have only paid for one program, right? Didn't your car come with a stock ECU program? Or did you mean something else; like the theft protection program? Otherwise, you were ripped off.

According to my mods guy, it's just the ignition of extra unburned fuel exiting the exhaust, happens to me occasionally. While we're on this subject, I got HUMILIATED this morning by a Stage 3 Mark IV Jetta who came up fast on me from behind when I was going about 60MPH, I could not shake him off my tail, ARG! Hey APR guys, where are you, I gotta get to Stage 3?!
 Still got the thumbs up from the Jetta guy...
