Default New S8 member APR stage 1

I picked up a 13' S8 a few months ago with 44k miles. Just did an APR tune 500 mi ago and added 21x10.5 strasse wheels.


I also dropped her 11mm via the VCDS, enabled VIM, green screen and a few other things.

I'm loving this vehicle.

There's nothing negative, I'll I can say is get the tune and you will not be disappointed.

You will notice the difference. It's worth it.

Do it

Great! I will. What about the lip on the trunk? I also need to get that module to access the VCDS.

I had the APR Stage 1tune applied to my 2014 A8 4.0T last week - it's incredible. Not just faster, but better responsiveness and drivability. I previously owned a 2007 A6 4.2 and liked that engine better until the stage 1 tune in my A8. I now love this car and can't wait for the downpipes and stage 2! You will not regret it.

2000 miles on my APR Stage 1 and I'm still loving it.

Did a few VCDS mods today. Increased steering wheel heat and programmed the trunk to close w/the remote.

Also really like the S8+ spoiler
