Yes yes I understand it’s not the correct motor, email usp they will tell you to buy one of the tunes(it may not be for the correct motor it’s just a voucher) then they flash your car to stage 2 remotely through there software called ODIN, they have access to all the stage 2 apr files.

How do they have access to an APR stage 2 tune that doesn’t exist ??

The bought vouchers from apr before they discontinued...... call them and ask them yourself, uspmotorsports is a highly reputable European aftermarket parts dealer.
Go on the website and look.
What do I have to gain from lying?

I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. Even APR themselves does not have a tune for my specific motor. So USP, also, does not have an APR tune for my motor. Email APR and ask them if they have an Tune for the 2018+ Passat 2.0 TSI "Budack/Miller Cycle" engine/ecu.

I’m not saying you’re a liar. And I’m well aware of USP, I’ve dealt with them in the past. I’m just telling you I’ve been in communication with APR directly with no luck.

Yeah I mean for $200 (used) its hard to beat. Wakes up the turbo, gives it some spunk for sure. I haven't taken it on the freeway, just in town driving.

They say for this 2.0 TSI B-Cycle: 30+ HP / 55+ ft./lbs.Torque. So with the module, intake, turbo muffler delete, and Turbo outlet pipe, if I did my math, that's approximately a gain of around +50 hp

And the install couldn't be easier. unplug the MAP and Boost sensor, plug this in, plug the MAP and Boost sensor back in. Done.

Hey. Super cool write up. Coming from a CC i was shocked about a few features that I thought were pretty much standard at this point that this car didn't have! Just to clarify, my 2018 r-line that has a standard mirror can be upgraded to a power mirror that's plug and play? How did the wiring work? I'm a little confused unless this is a solar charged self contained unit.

Yeah the R-lines are basically an S model with some tiny upgrades and cool bumpers.

Yeah the Frameless mirror is plug and play. It comes with a harness that taps into the back of the headlight switch that gives it power and dimming.
