I'm now running the APR 93 octane ECU upgrade! Amazing how much of a difference I was able to tell on the ten mile drive home. I'm not sure how brilliant this plan is, given the current cost of gas, but it sure does make the ride a little more fun.

Thanks especially to Blair at J3, who spent about 20 minutes answering all my questions and helping me talk myself into it.

FWIW, you should be filling up with 93 anyways ;)
I need to go by j3 soon to have my ECU reflashed with 91/93. I just had the I3 campaign installed at Audi.

I spoke to Blair just the other day, in fact. He was great over the phone and answered a ton of questions of my own. Thanks for this note, youve affirmed what I had hoped for from our local APR pusher :)

Something about all the A3's being affected by a recall. Honestly, I was too busy pre-drooling over the ride home.

I've been filling up with 93 already, so it really shouldn't even make me blink, but now I know I'm locked in. C'est la whatever, it's the price to pay for the fun of the turbo.

Running notes about the upgrade:
Sweet Mother, those turbos are LOUD :)
