I've done quite a bit of searching on here and was hoping I could clarification on 1 thing.

I am thinking of a doing a couple small things to the B7. Notably:
Chip & Test Pipe.

I have a very reputable GIAC shop nearby, but I have been told by numerous people that its a no-go because they don't program around the test-pipe (CEL). That leaves APR shop which is a couple hour drive away.

Is there a special APR program I need because of the test pipe. IE: Revo Stage II ?. Looks like Revo goes to stage 2 once you get TP/Exhaust.

APR would seeming just accommodate the extra flow ( I HOPE)...

skip the test pipe.

The testpipe has proven to be a great upgrade, especially for the money invested. Thanks for such valuable input though...

the test pipe gains you speak of are measured without software tuning. a test pipe coupled with software tuning...there's no difference. with a bt setup, that's a different story.

enjoy the imaginary gains and the wasting of your money.

i have the apr testpipe and exhaust and chip amongst other things (k04, fmic, fuel pump upgrade, cai, s3 injectors etc....) When you get just the testpipe you will not get the performance program associated with what Apr calls stage 2. You need the exhaust to get the true stage two which if you get the exhaust and tp with the chip you will get the stage 2+ which i am not sure exactly how that differs from the regular stage 2 but i would recommend doing the chip and exhaust/tp together. if you have any other questions let me know, i have all the APR parts!

Meaning that with proper software, the car will put out the same HP with and without TP?

i'm also saying if a car already has a flashed ecu and you add a tp to it..there will be no gains above what the ecu flash has already provided.

And Revo must have awesome tuning skills!
