Default Tune without TD1 flag

I currently have a 2017 RS7 Performance and a few weeks ago I was out of it watching YouTube in bed and came across a video where a company was talking about tuning an R8's CPU to increase boost and other things without flashing the ECU, stupidly I didn't pay more attention to who it was but I'm interested in tuning this car without throwing a TD1 going the APR route. Warranty is important, there are only 13k miles on the car and after how much I spent to fix turbos on my S8 I will never go out of warranty on these cars again.

Also consider APR Plus. It’s stage 1 tune plus warranty for the rest of your original warranty timeframe.

Wow, wasn't aware of that, thanks! I would definitely be open to that.

Edit: whoa, $4500!! Insane.

Difference is basically a warranty. Think about replacing the parts if they won't cover and think again if an extra $2500 is that bad.

I'd be more interested in how they are increasing boost on an R8, which, by default, has no boost from the factory to begin with......

burgertuning dot com (JB4) will have an external unit out for RS7 soon according to their website. Have a look. Prices are much more sane than most. They make a bunch of them for forced induction VW/Audi and are quite popular.

Note - just because this is an external box and it does not alter the ECU does not mean it is not detectable, according to what I have read it is and will also cause your car to be flagged.
