Default Stage III Q7 owners?

I am looking at sorting out my 2012 Q7 3.0 TDI. I will go through some normal maintenance stuff, but any info on the Stage III kits I have read about online? I am guessing Stage III is a bigger Turbo, tune, down-pipe and exhaust?

I have experience with APR products, just wondering if anyone here has upgraded their Q7's power. Thoughts? suggestions? any words of wisdom or caution? What do you like or dislike?

thank you-

APR is the last one's id ever let touch my TDI, Malone, Kerma, DarkSide and a few others that specialize in Diesels should be the only ones you check out.. Stage 3 is going to be custom, you pick turbo, custom make parts, fitup exhaust and get it tuned for your setup, not enough interest for a bolt on kit from anyone..

You got a big honking diesel SUV, most of us tune for fuel economy and better towing capability while keeping our lovely Diesel Reliability, which is what a Stage 2 will get you fine.. if you want a hot rod, go get a gasser and tune it up IMO.. or at least something better suited for ripping *** like an A7 TDI.

Darkside, is going to be your best bet and like Dreadlocks said; probably Malone Tuning.
