S4sB4H8ters

Hi All,

Long time lurker first time poster.

I picked up a 2011 S4 Prestige with a Statis tune and exhaust about 6 months back and am looking to make some upgrades to it. I'm fairly newbish when it comes to the nitty gritty so excuse my ignorance and i appreciate you guys bearing with me. I just had to shell out 5k due to the fabled Audi gearbox issue and to put in a whole new set of multi-arms in the front so finally i am ready to really mod.

So first major item is since Statis does not have a stage 2, I was contemplating going with the apr Stage 2 tune with pulley. How does that work exactly, do i need to go and buy APR stage 1 stage 2 and the pulley, or from what i've heard the statis tune is just a repackaged apr stage 1, so can i go directly from the Statis tune to a stage 2 APR tune? What do you guys think about this as a mod and the cost/benefit

I was also going to add a cold air intake, what I've been recommended is going with the APR there as well, even if i wasnt going with the stage 2 tune but especially if i do because all APR that would give optimal performance. What are your thoughts on an intake, with or without an apr tune, and how does the APR intake sound?

Do you guys have any smaller mods you'd recommend as low hanging fruit?

How about exterior or interior mods that you would swear by with a black b8 s4? I'm going to get an audi doorlight and may go with the black front grill.

Thanks for any input guys, i know its a long winded question but really the main thing is the apr stage tune 2.

Plus 1 on Audizine for this type of question

I recently made a post about tunes on Audizine in the A7 forum. same engine and people listed the steps for tunes as well as explained pulley swaps.
