I was keen on APR till i read up in detail. Lots of people who were APR tuned have since moved to other companies because they were tired with poor customer service. Not something you really want if you’re spending 3k on tuning software alone.
Found a really good dealer called Dubaddiction with great feedback. I’ll go through them after i get my shit installed!

I'd suggest that there's a similar vein of discussion around APR/Harding performance in the VAG community as we see with MRT in the Subie community. They have fans, and they have detractors.
I've heard around the traps internationally (from international APR dealers, I used to import VAG kit into Australia from a variety of places in various countries) that the Australian model is considered "odd" - there's only one APR distributor/importer in Australia, and they control things pretty tightly. That said, the gear and tunes are good once set up and settled in (they get some seriously good results for those willing to spend what's required to make reliable power), and people who have them tend to be pretty satisfied when things are working well. Like everything product, there are good and bad dealers too - some are great, some not so great. That's not unique to APR, the same can be said for most of the tuning companies that work with VAG vehicles. I'd rather have a good dealer with an average product than a good product and an average dealer.
Tim @ Dubaddiction is incredibly well respected within the Australian VAG community, you won't do badly with him.
I used to do quite a bit of importing of stuff from ECSTuning - I may still get a small discount with them if you need stuff.

I'm doing the Bluetooth on the weekend, upgrading from the basic 9w2 module to the premium 9w7. Exhaust; I've actually decided to go custom stainless steel as the Supersprint gear is as near makes no difference 10k plus installation.
Refurb the wheels as there is a bit of rash or if I find a set of 19" Luganos I'll go with them.
I'd like to lower it coz it's currently in Gen 5 territory but I've read that it can play silly buggers with the adaptive suspension.
Needs new rotors and pads which are being installed tomorrow if my mechanic can squeeze me in.
Where did you get the dsg extension paddles from?
