Default Safe to tune high mileage 2015 a3?

I have a 2015 Audi A3 2.0T with almost 130,000 miles on it. Im thinking about getting a stage 2 APR tune and a downpipe. How worried should I be about blowing the engine? Thanks.

T, it depends on how hard you plan to flog it. I'd also be worried about the transmission.

Dont really plan on flogging it. Just looking for a little better performance and throttle response. Ive heard of transmission tunes too, think thatd help with the wear on the transmission?

With 130,000 miles already on it, what is the risk with tuning? You probably have less than 20,000 miles left in the engine anyway.
