Sorry, not much to add to what everyone else has posted. As already mentioned you should change out your stock DV since the older design will eventually tear under higher boost.

My particular setup (2.0 TFSI B8 ) won't really apply to yours. However, generally speaking APR is tops in the industry and you can be confident that their tuning won't hurt your reliability and will give you a significant 'boost' to the fun factor.

True of all turbo cars and slightly more so when running a 'chipped' car, you should remember to drive somewhat casually (out of boost) for a few minutes before you shut your car off. This will give time for the turbo to cool while oil is still circulating. Since your turbo will be producing more heat (still within a safe range) because of the programming it is more important to follow this routine.

Try going to APR's website and click on find a dealer, then choose which is closest to you.
