Need APR tune info

Considering APR tune for my 2017 Q3 FWD. Asking on this forum as there no info on Q3 discussions. Have 2.0 w 6 sp auto.
Pros/Cons? Hp w/go from 200 to 261.
Torque w/go from 207 to 299/317-choice. Have researched this w/ APR & local installer. Have already installed H&R lowering springs. (35mm lowering)
All input appreciated.

Would have assumed as a UTE that you would want more ground clearance. Just my opinion of course. Good luck with your decision. I approve of APR products and tunes due to my own experience.

Thx for your APR info. re H&R lowering springs. I like the better handling w/H&R. Also get rid of big gap between tires & body. Still have a little more road clearance than the average sedan. Never off road or in snow etc.

Makes sense. Understand the H&R springs are top quality and do an amazing job. Had considered them for my S3 but still tinkering with the engine at this time. Just made an appointment to have an APR intercooler installed. This will pretty much complete the max Stage 2 work possible for the car. Am definitely not considering replacing the turbo, etc for Stage 3. Big bucks and think reliability will be affected. That's really pushing things. Right now at Stage 2, car drives perfectly as a daily driver but takes off like a scaled cat when I put my foot into it. Again, very pleased with APR products. A basic tune is very straightforward and only requires access to your OBD port and the APR installer laptop. Be sure to inform your local Audi service department if you get the tune. My guys were very accommodating and have never hooked my S3 up to the system where it could be flagged.
