APR Stage 3+
I'm currently looking around to purchase a new car. I've looked at several models but will probably choose either the RS4 or a convertible M3 that's sitting on my local dealer's lot for invoice.
However, another option that I'm actually considering is to purchase a TT225 and install the APR Stage 3+ kit. Does anyone have any experience with this new kit, including 0-60, 1/4 mile times, etc.?
Currently running an APR Stage 3 on my 98.5 A4.
Thanks in advance

yeah I haven't seen a whole lot of info about people running times in TT's
The 225TT 1.8T has a lower CR of 9.0:1 which is nice too. I bet that car screams with the stage 3+ kit. I'm going to try to get to the drag strip soon to see what my car can do.

Cool, let us know how it goes. To get you updated, I ended up
buying the M3 Convertible. I have a low tolerance for waiting, plus I wanted to give it some time to let the RS4 mature and work the kinks out. I will probably get one next year and pass the M3 on to my wife.
The M3 is a great car, but I miss the turbo on my A4. Most of the power on this car is in the upper rpm range, and I'm still breaking it in so I can't go past 5,500. I'm sure it will be a different car once I can drive it like it's meant to be driven. If not, perhaps I'll do the Dinan SC route which lets me keep the warranty! In any case, I've still got the A4, and perhaps it's time to go a little beyond the Stage 3 kit since it's no longer my daily driver Let us know how the 3+ does on your A4!

IMO you should drive the crap out of it during the break in period.
It will really help let the piston rings settle in. Rather than babying it, the rings wont be able to settle in fully.

I've been taking it up to 5,500, but not beyond. I think that BMW can get a little
picky about honoring their warranty, so I've been following their rules. Just a few hundred more miles to go
