APR Stage 3 on DSG! Vid Inside!
I had the occasion to make a quick video in our Audi A3 DSG Stage 3 development car. I thought TT owner's might like to see it as well since the TT and A3 have the same 2.0T FSI engine and DSG transmission. I hope everyone enjoys!

One thing i noticed on the power figures...
You are getting more power out of a Mk1 TT 225 than the 2.0s when both are at stage 3. Considerable amount of torque difference. And the 2.0 including fuel pump is priced higher.
Are those power specs including the fuel pump?

There's been some debate and some discussion regarding the 16v
head on the 2.0T's and the 20v head on the 1.8T's. It seems that the 20v swallows alot more air at lower rpm's and there is your torque difference. Its the same turbo on both applications but if you turn up the boost at spool up, you'll get compressor surge on the 2.0T whereas you won't on the 1.8T.
The 2.0T Stage 3 FSI is at 20psi and the TT 225 Stage 3 is at 24-26psi.
The 2.0T is much torquier off boost than the 1.8T could ever dream of and therefore drivability around town with the 2.0T Stage 3 is much improved over 1.8T apps.
We offer the 2.0T FSI Stage 3 with or without our intercooler or FSI Fuel Pump. The Fuel Pump is very much a requirement but some peeps may have purchased it separately. You can use our Stage 3 without an intercooler upgrade but you will experience heat soak very quickly and the over longevity of your engine may suffer running at higher intake air temps all the time.

and also, with our TT 225 my best 1/4 mile time...
was 12.64 with a 1.8xx 60' where as GTi owner's of our Stage 3 are down to 12.54 with a 2.0xx 60'. I can't wait to get a Stage 3 on the upcoming TT-S and I should be able to hit low 12's.
