Anyone with a 2.7T running the APR 2+. I'm installing new hybrid K03/K16, AWE/McNeil downpipes, APR
exhaust and and a new RS4 clutch and pressure plate. I hope the APR Stage 2+ is going to take full advantage of my mods. I currently run the stage 1 93 0ct. and have been very happy. Thx in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.

Hybrid - K03's with a K04 turbine wheel?
Well, my car is in the shop right now because of blown K03 Turbo's. I would try to stay away from Hybrids; and even my Tuner (KMD) strongly suggested not to use Hybrids. Get the real deal like Garrett or K04's.
K03's are not very reliable and this is my second set of blown K03's.....but that is just MHO....
Also, consider to replace the Oil feed lines, the usual mounting on a 2.7T for the lines is too close to the exhaust. If the oil is getting too hot then the lines tend to constipate close the exhaust. The Passenger side lines have 2 x 90 degree turns, not a very efficient design.
Full flex designed replacements are available from ECS tuning or Induktion Motorsports, they have them in stock.
The Intercoolers from AWE are also something to consider. I've had them for some time now and they really do help, only the oil feed lines are a real weak link.
Good Luck.
