CP your sig says APR V3.1
Is that the alterations for cold weather performance or a different code change?<p>Ed

Yep...non-variable boost, so it doesn't get dialed back in the cold.

How did it affect the hot weather performance if any? Temps vary greatly here in PA.

It didn't. But it'll boost to 15psi in the cold now...not the 11psi that everyone else's does...
Strangely enough, my car slows down as the temperature drops. So APR took out the temperature factor in my chip, so it will not dial back boost below 45* or so.<p>Cy...Pearl '97 1.8TQMS, APR: v3.1-exhaust-SS lines, UUC, Neuspeed, H&R Sport, Bilstein, AEZ Bimos, AVS Sports, ATE Powerdisc, R4S, Valvoline SynPower, Mobil 1, Autometer, K&N, Air Box Mod, Aluminum Trim...66.8K and counting.

I didn't install my gauge until the summer but
I feel that my car is alot stronger in the warmer weather (75+ degrees with a little humidity). I always see at least 15 and spikes up to about 17.5 or so. Anything below 65, the performance seems to drop and drop. You're saying yours was at about 45 degrees though. I am wondering if it is the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<p>Ed

Wait til it gets COLD and keep watching your gauge. And replace your DV soon.
