Default There is no stage 3+ at this time

You can go with a PES T28, Apr Stage3. ATP is still working on their kit that uses a T3/T4 and Werks of Art is also working in 2 new kits, one use a very large K04 that bolts right to the stock manifold which should put out 260 hp and a full kit that is much larger that should make 350+ hp. If you plan on going custom be ready for long days and nights of tuning, the turbo and parts is the easy side of it.

Default They dont make a fmic so how could they sell a stage 3+.

That is one of the reasons they stopped selling it the other reason is that they claim 310 hp with a race chip on the stage 3 which would make selling a stage 3+ at 310 hp for another $1K a little hard.

Default MTM uses very large 3k turbos

Not sure how they plan to make good power in the lower rpms and still make 330 hp and 420 hp. Here is their prices which I am pretty sure are 3-4 times as much as a PES or APR kit.

330 hp
243 kW A4 GTS: please order our information A4 GTS 49.900,00DM M-0A4 150 330 Q

420 hp
309 kW A4 GTR: please order our information A4 GTR 75.800,00DM M-0A4 150 420 Q

Default My guess is that they would offer a 100 and 104 program for the 3+ as well so base HP isn't an issue

280-290 base and 310 on the 100 program vs 310 base and 340-350 on a 100 program for the 3+. IIRC it is the FMIC and the fact that the Garrett turbo itself became hard to get. Of course I don't speak for APR but my understanding is that now that they are a Garrett 'partner' they can get spec'd turbos again, do the in house set up etc. So, I think it comes down to the FMIC and software updates.
Pretty limited market though so .... ???

I definitely don't recommend going custom, unless you like to do what CMH said...

Default Might use, I'm not an expert in that area...

I bought my chip and exhaust from them and thought about mentioning it.

No one really talks about mtm around here. Maybe it's just too expensive like you pointed out.

They should run quite nicely on low rpms, atleast according to graphics you see on their website. Well I really don't care too much cause I ain't going to uppgrade my audi to 420 hp...
