Didnt know that!! Could have saved a little money.

Either way, Im happy with either as far as performance. I really cant tell the difference between the two.

Your car and mine have almost the same mods, I will recommend the injen intake it is pretty cheap mod and it helps the exhaust and the tune. (And pretty easy to install too)

Anyways the wheels look amazing I just can't justify the expense, I am already at 5.5k in mods as it is right now, I don't have space to store the originals in order to put them back on when I sell the car.

Thanks for the compliments. How loud is the whine on the injen???

Your car looks great I just pulled the trigger on stage 2 apr I've been super nervous/excited about it! Seems to me that no one is having an issue with these pulley upgrades, it's almost like the engine has been deprived from it!

johnnyb

Thanks for the compliment!!! Yeah, it does feel like the engine is quite at home with the stage 2 mod. I cant imagine not having it now. I was hesitant at first as well.

Im also very happy with my coilovers. When i had the h&r springs installed, the car became too bouncey and too low for my daily commutes. It looked great, but the road i take to work every day dipped in too many places and i would rub, also in my work parking lot my exhaust would scrape on the speed bumps.

Im anxious to see if there are any more stages released...

Looking good there JB

Ive just ordered the AWE Quad for my 3.0T and Im seriously considering the APR Stage 1 (for now) but Im kinda nervous about modding the ECU at the moment.

The car is 8 months old (Ive had it 2) and has under 4000 miles on the clock. Any recommendations about whether I should wait until the mileage is a bit higher and the engine fully bedded down, or should I just go for it?

Any one had a bad experience with the APR or any other ECU mod (GIAC?)

Im aware that once I go down the ECU route my drivetrain warranty will be invalidated, but do I have to set it back to stock if Audi service it?

Cheers,
JW.

Looks great!

hey, I like your wheel. I have the same color as your car^^ good taste
I saw you told that AWE Exhaust is too loud? How about the resonance, is that obvious inside the car?

longjie

hey, I'm doing that too. There is good advice for you, the dealer won't warrant the car which upgrade their ECU. You probably can do it later.
