Anyone tuned their A6 C7? APR or something else?

Looking to put APR Stage I on my 2016 A6 3.0. What else should you mod if you get the Stage I tune?

Patrick303

No other mods are required for stage 1 tune, but supporting mods like intake, downpipes, exhaust, etc definitely compliment. My A6 is APR stage 2 and I love it!

Nice. How long have you had the tune? Anything else you did?

And what's the Stage 2 pulley add to performance? Do you mind sharing the cost?

Patrick303

I was stage 1 for about 6 months, then went stage 2 about 4 months ago now. The stage 1 tune from APR adds a big horsepower bump, and the stage 2 adds a little more HP but a good jump in torque. Makes it more fun to drive as you are in the torque powerband in lower RPM's. I waited for sales when purchasing both stages, so I spent about $1600 total.

Got it. So Stage 2 is for the torque.

Is that the price including installation?

Patrick303

Yes, that is including install. My local shop doesn't charge labor for the tuning, so the only labor I paid was the install of the pulleys.

My car has 130k+ miles on it and burns some oil (about 5000miles/quart). Would it be a good fit for tuning? thx..
