Default APR software changes

I just added an APR exhaust and Carbonio intake to a 2001 1.8T with APR stage 1 software. I was wondering if the APR software needed to be changed to take advantage of the new modifications?

Carbonio is a joke. No, it doesn't.

Default I'm not sure a Stage 2 option is offered for it....

I know the 2.0Ts have a Stage 2 option for their programming, but haven't seen a B5 1.8T in for software yet. I couldn't even perform the upgrade here, as Direct Port isn't an option on the B5 1.8T cars.

It's a strech, even with stage 3.

Default I figured as much, I've flashed B5 S4s but never an A4 1.8T, yet.

The website says otherwise, but websites aren't always correct.
