I'm no S4 guy... but why would one go 3- and not just pony up and get the fueling for full stage 3

Default Exactly.... and their turbos blew so they went with K04s instead of K03s and they

want to use SOME of the benefit of having K04s but don't need to max them out. Right now my car is stage 3- and it has PLENTY of power. Compared to my old fx-k04'd A4 it would absolutely demolish it. I can't wait to install the ASP fueling sitting in my garage THIS WEEK!

Default If you are a staged mod plan works great. I did that. GIAC 3- has good power, very noticeable

Default I'd rather put that money towards tires, racing brake pads and track events.

there's not a public road in the US (except certain parts of MONTANA) where you can take advantage of a full 3 versus 3-. having said that, even a modestly modded S4 always has some weak point that requires further modding, so I will upgrade if reliability becomes an issue that cannot be resolved.

Default adds up quick when I do it I want to do it right..I was happy with a working car and 2+ power

but the little buggers just let go w/o warning.

Disagree with that. Stage 3 has much more midrange power and will notice it before 4K RPM.

Default well if anyone knows it would definitely be you... but again, for street driving is it a big diff???

I guess it depends on how you drive on the street
