Stage 3?
Hey all,
Call me crazy. I've just upgraded to stage 2 on my 2015 allroad. I love it and im thinking about stage 3. At this point, I'm leasing, so if I go bolt on KO4 I will end up buying the darn thing and continuing the mod.
Stage 3 will bring my wagon to about ~350hp, which in the allroad could be fun.
Question, should I wait until Audi decides to move ahead with the RS4 avant or non avant style or just buy this allroad. Lease is up in 2yr.
Thanks everyone.

Since you've already mod it and enjoyed it, I suggest you buy it or your investment goes to waste. While I wish Audi will bring the RS4 Avant to the US, they won't. Stage 2 means you're around 300 HP ? What software are you using?
I've done Stage I with Revo software and have around 285-290 HP plus I put in the Alu Kreuz stabilizer which made the allroad's ride extremely pleasing and stable. Stage 2 will add around 10 -15 HP more. I'm very happy with my current set up, and my allroad is fully paid for and not leased. There is no turbo lag and it's very responsive even with a slight push in the gas pedal and has sustainable power from low to high RPMs till redline. I would say currently my allroad will do 0 - 60 mph in probably around 5.6 - 5.7 seconds with the Stage 1 software (instead of 6.4 seconds), or somewhat similar to the last S4 Avant. Previously, with the amount of power and time to take me to 90-92 MPH (in stock mode), now would take me to 108 - 110 MPH in the open freeway. Having driven the 2012 - 2013 Audi A7 with 310HP which does around 5.4 - 5.5 in 0 - 60 seconds according to Audi, the allroad's Stage1 power is almost right around the A7s power. Honestly I can't tell the difference, because the A7 is a bigger heavier car and it's power start at around the 2900 RPM, and my allroad is now more nimble with especially with the alu kreuz stabilizer and plenty of immediate power at the low 1400 RPMs. So off the line, Stage 1 allroad with loads of power at the lowest RPMs even feels quicker than an A7. Stage1 and Stage2 allroad has around 318-350 lbs torque at 1400-1500 rpm, compared to the A7s 325 lb torque at 2,900-3,000 rpm, which is why I could not really tell the difference.
Your Stage 2 would probably be around 5.3 - 5.4 seconds 0 - 60 mph? And Stage 3, 0 - 60 mph would around 4.8 - 5.0 seconds ? But I would probably not do Stage 3, since it could strain the engine and turbos, and I wish to keep my allroad for more than 8 years hopefully. And if you do Stage 3, you need to invest in bigger and better brakes if you are going at higher speeds. I have an Audi S5, and those have better brakes than the allroad at sub-5 second 0-60 mph speeds. I would definitely not do Stage 3 without better brakes. Revo advised me to put BG MOA additive to my engine for Stage 1 and also ethanol cleaners on my gas tank every now and then.
