I have not had the chance to ride in a APR Stage 3 or a PES T-28 but have heard people say they are VERY fast, and some people say one feels faster than the other, etc. What cars are comparable in the butt dyno category and how would you rate the butt dyno of a big turbo kit to a 2001.5 chipped A4 with an exhaust/FMIC. I am very tempted to upgrade but am not sure the car will be fast enough to warrant spending 7k for the kit, clutch, install, etc. What do you guys think?

Get a ride in one or both. Then make a decision.

that would make sense, now I just have to find someone in my area who has a turbo upgrade.

I'd also do a little reading on the A4 forum. Since you are an 01.5 your choices may be limited.

I didn't listen to people's warnings and it cost me lots and lots of money.

APR...Smooth...diff octane programs...over built kit.

PES...***** to the wall throw you in your seat (both do a good job of this....no octance programs ..YET (flipswitch is coming) Garrett chip tuned for aggresiveness.

Tons of support for the APR...both kits have thier respective issues. I'm still trying to decided which one to get. I'll drop you an e-mail you might enjoy reading though.

However its on nearly as easy to switch programs as it is with the APR sofware.

Plus I forget which big turbo kits are available for which DBW years and which are known to have issues.

201-A4

Did you have to pay extra, or was it part of the PES/GIAC free upgrade policy?

I would be nice if GIAC would hurry up and release IBE for us.
