From reading other posts here some Stg1's get similar performance increase to some Stg2's. e.g. My Stg2 (now sold) made close to 500bhp, but I saw others posting Stg1 figures close to this. Mine was pre-OPF. Search this forum. In my experience I'll not bother with APR in future.

@p90dly - That sounds like fun. I'd be up for that. I'm in Hants, if that matters at all :-)

I'd love to be able to answer your question but unfortunately I can't. I'm just here for the self indulgence - I'd love to see the after photos! thanks in advance :-)

No I'm really not kidding. That's what they told me. I did appreciate, at the time of modifying the car, that I might need to check it myself, but that hasn't happened because I've been working from home for a year (due to covid) so I've hardly used the car since the mods last July. I'd estimate...

The Audi dealer told me not to bother as it would be covered at servicing. It sounds like that is not correct. In fact, they told me that they don't want customers under the bonnet at all except for topping up washer fluid! That was Aberdeen Audi. Thankfully, I do very few miles in it. I'm...

I don't - That's the point of the indicator :-) It's nice to have them nowadays as a convenience. However, I'll be checking mine asap now! LOL! :-)

Thanks T-1000. I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that. TBH I dont fully trust the tuner who gave me that feedback.

Thanks Ross_T_Boss. I appreciate the detail in your reply. I think Im pretty convinced now that it's not worthwhile for me to progress this avenue of investigation and Im happy that what I have is expected. I'm very happy with the car, just in case it comes across than I'm not. I was also told...

@CHRS3 - I really appreciate the effort you've gone to here and it certainly puts my mind at rest knowing that the figures I'm seeing are expected, so there's no problem with the car or the work done on it. Phew. :-) Many thanks.

Thanks CHRS3. My concern is the power output which is not what I had expected (497bhp/485ftlb). I was expecting more seeing as I've seen people report 460hbp on Stg1's. So I'm searching for an explanation tbh, but maybe 497bhp is expected. The airflow is where I skimped (in not going for the...

Cheers. Do you have a standard intake setup? I think that the hard pipe/turbo inlet pipes on mine are 3.5" but I may be wrong.

All, I have a FL 2017 RS3 with APR St2 maps, intercooler, milltek exhaust, forge turbo inlet pipe, hard pipe, a standard air box and intake with a K&N panel filter. But I'd like to improve on the airflow as it seems the weak point. But seeing as I've already dropped a lot of cash on the motor...

Unfortunately, APR operate through dealers and my dealer wasn't that knowledgeable tbh. If it helps, I typically use Comfort in motorway driving and I dont hear the rattle at those speeds either. I use Dynamic without sport mode to avoid the pops and bangs.

I've an APR Stg2 RS3 2017 and that suffers from the same rattle. When in Dynamic mode and in Sport, I can hardly hear it. Take Sport off and I can hear it a little occasionally, but not enough that its an annoyance. However, if in Comfort and Drive, it is quite obvious. Fix: Keep it in Dynamic...

Spec: 2017 RS3, APR Stage 2 tune, Miltek double decat (Standard back box), APR Intercooler, Turbo Inlet pipe + hard pipe, Panel filter and dogbone. Shell V-Power 99 RON. Almost an empty tank. No passengers. Only tried a 0-60 timing with dragy twice. Fastest was a 0-60 of 3.6s which can be seen...

Not yet, maybe next year though as I have a 500+bhp st2 RS3 that I only had done a month or so ago. By bro had an R8 and he said that my RS3 is much faster though, so that's put a dampener on it a bit (although he had an older one with a lower power output than more recent models which was...

@Ross_T_Boss Many thanks for the comprehensive response. I'm not intending to track it, so it's more fast road use really (mind you, never say never. But in a track scenario I'd know the limitation anyway). Thanks for the Reyland tips too.

Thank You mate.

Thanks @Doc @Boj27 @Aoon_M I'm thinking of speaking to MRC to fix the wastegate rattle (or partially, it seems) and uprate the brakes at the same time. I may even ask them to dyno it as the last dyno was on one of the very hot days and power was down.

Thank Aoon_M. Good advice
