Hopefully their software is improved. I had the Revo software on my old B6 A4. I'd switch it to stock everytime I took her into service and the dealer would ask if I had messed with the ECU at all because they were downloading all these weird codes out of the ECU. I just played dumb like I didn't know what they were talking about. But they could tell. So if you have any major warranty issue, they may fight you on it. Just FYI.

I've sure moded a bunch of cars, particularly turbo cars, but wow 30% more torque sounds scary to me on the DSG, drive components… maybe when I get my 2018 S3… I'm gonna let you guys burn-up your clutches and void warranties first.

Not much need to be worried. The software primarily changes max turbo boost. Stay off max boost in everyday driving and premature failure will be unlikely. The S3 has enough stock power to have a spirited street ride without tapping the extra HP and torque, but it's very nice to have the extra power when you call on it. Like my dad always said, " son, if you get a get a fast car; you can always go slower." As an aside, I've avoided launch control. That scares me a bit. Maybe when the car is fully broken in..........
