I will be shortly in the same boat (car) as you.

So let us know.
I know of the APR conversion to really spice things up, but what's before that?

I have the 4.0T A8L as well and with just a APR tune the car became a completely different animal. Well worth the money and it'll be the best bang for your buck as far as performance goes.

Oh apr is a chip. I saw it comes with different price range from $200 to $600. Is there any link you recommend?

side question, how much HP does it adds to your a8?

Its actually $1500 for the 4.0T engine A8. It adds about 90hp crank and 129 torque according to APR charts

It is not a chip. Your car is flashed by an APR dealer through the OBD port. I had mine done a couple of months after I bought the car. As previous poster stated, 1500.00. The car is transformed especially in Dynamic/Sport mode. I have locked repeated 3.56 0-60 times. Power from 70-120 mph is insane! I run the 93 octane tune and I have done a few other mods as well. APR does NOT have a stage two tune, that is S8 only. If you lived near me I’d offer you a ride, car launches and shifts like mad!
