I had Stage I on my '12 A7 and loved it. The difference is quite noticeable in power delivery and I actually got better gas mileage. I noticed no degradation in how smooth and quiet the drivetrain was. I plan on going straight to Stage II on my '16 soon.

Hey let me know if you are getting the APR stage II for the A7 soon. I have a 2016 as you know and I want to get the APR tuning. How does it compare to Revo tuning?

I am not familiar with REVO and can't speak to how it compares to APR other than what is online. I am thinking about getting it done after the holidays. I will let you know if I ultimately get it done.

It wasn't dyno'ed but based on APR it was around 365 HP at the wheels but it felt significantly faster. I spoke to APR yesterday and they indicated Stage 1 on the 2016 are 436 HP and 372 lb/ft.

Thats sweet improvement there!! Especially with the current 333 hp we have on our supercharger which feels alot faster then the pre-facelift A7. The problem I am having now with only 20k miles and using top tier gas is that I cannot launch my A7 very quickly to get 4.7 0-60 anymore and I rarely do it but I am getting around 6 seconds which is pathetic and I feel that even with 93 Mobil gas my car is sluggish in sports mode and wheezes out at higher RPM which was not the case last year when I bought the car. Any ideas? Doubt carbon build up.

Hmmm.....not sure why the drop off in power. I just hit 20k and haven't noticed any difference in performance. I believe a few 2016's were effected by the fuel rail recall but I haven't been able to find anything from Audi.
The regular ECU is programmed to slow engine acceleration near redline; the APR tune will get rid of that. I noticed a significant difference in that once I got the tune on my previous A7.
