Considering having this done to my S3 as its more or less the last mod to be done to it before we talk stage 3 which wont be for a long time. Its a 2007 S3 Tuned with APR upto stage 2+ with a rough estimate of around 350-360hp and 340-350 ft lbs.
Question is, the apr RFD kit is a simple enough mod for the car and not to painful on the bank account, but is it worth doing on my car to see any real gains or even any real difference in drive feel and response?
Had mixed responses from different people. Some are saying unless your Stage 3 with in excess of 400 hp then its not worth while to do to a stage 2 s3. But other people have said that on their car (stage 2+) that it has made a difference and they can definetely feel a difference albeit not a massive change in performance but a change in response and how the car drives at certain revs.
The cars already APR tuned, making this a fairly easy decision to make if it is worth while as its more or less in regards to install and software upgrade a plug and play mod on my car. But if i'm not going to see or feel any change then i'm simply not going to bother.
What are peoples opinions on this? Has it worked on your car? has it made much difference? And based on the status of my car and in respect to the figures it's producing is it going to be a worthwhile mod or money down the drain??
Of course i'm not looking for the maximum increases on this mod but if it has improved certain aspects of the drive then i'm more than happy to go for it and see what differences it creates.
Thanks in advance for any advice
