Here is where you want to finish: RS7 turbos, RS7 airbox, APR huge downpipes, and then on to software upgrades. Carbon Ceramic brakes, and Akrapovic exhaust and Eurocode bars.


RS7 turbos, airbox, APR downpipes Akropovic exhaust; Carbon Ceramic brakes, Eurocode bars<br/> Car is a Jeckl/Hyde machine

it's just weird that no one else has had this issue with APR stage 2.

car only has 44,600 miles on it
I just had a similar experience with my 2013. Also a Stage 2 APR. When speaking with APR, they said they were not aware of any,,clearly yours happened 9 months ago, and they either never read this forum or misrepresented the history. This repair is going to cost me between 21 and 40K. My car has 80K miles and is always warmed up and cooled down before running hard and all maintenance intervals have been met. I would like to speak with you about your issue and resolution. Would you have a way to reach you? I am at aboling1@me.com

I just purchased a used 2014 S6 and when i checked the Carfax on it as well as the service records from the previous owner, I saw that both the turbos on my car had been replaced around 45k miles. Unfortunately since I was not the owner, I have no idea why that would have been but have been very curious as to why both turbos had to be replaced before 50k miles. Seems likes these turbos should last at least 100k, no? Good luck! I hope that I easily get another 50k out of mine!!!
