I have a B8 2.0t A4, everything is currently stock besides a resonator delete. I'd like to know realistically how much power I could get for a couple hundred dollars. I'm figuring with any intake, or anymore exhaust mods I will probably need a tune I just don't find standard APR Stage 1 worth it being its $500 for +60hp max. If anybody knows of any tuners in the Tri-State area with good prices or any easy performance cheats I'd greatly appreciate it.

I am very happy with my APR stage one tune. I also have Ingen intake and a spring kit. You should drive an APR stage one before you decide it is not worth it. Anything beyond that is going to be $$$ because you would likely need a K4 turbo.

Also, which Tri-state area? There are many places in the US that refer to Tri-state.

$500 for 60 hp is by far the cheapest $ per HP mod you can do for these cars. I recently upgraded to APR Stage 1 from stock, and what a difference it made. Just my 2 cents.

Also keep in mind that any tune is going to require more expensive fuel. My APR tune lets me choose between 91 and 93 octane if needed.

I'm in North NJ not even 15 minutes from the city, my end goal is K04 Stage 2+ because anything higher on this engine requires serious internal work to not blow up. I'm looking into a pro-tune from a reputable tuner in Wallington who tuned my buddy's WRX that's making like 370awhp, but that's going to run me a good $600 before a downpipe and/or intake.
