Default Gotta agree with Andy, here's why

MTM is Audi's tuner in Europe, much like AMG and Mercedes, or Dinan and BMW (in the US). Roland Meyer, worked for Audi developing the 1.8T engine, and MTM tuned Audis are available from Audi dealers in Europe. They have a direct link to the factory engineers. I've yet to hear anything bad about MTM. APR is a new company, but is fast making a name for themselves here. I've seen their work, met several customers, and seen many positive reviews posted here. For older Audis, I would say the premier tuner is Hoppen Motorsport, who happens to be MTM's US distributer and headed Audi NA's race program in the 1980's. However, APR seems to be doing more development work on the A4.<p>Regards,
Rodney
