APR STAGE 1 Question
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and have a couple questions. I have a Prestige Brilliant Red B8 A4 with APR's stage 1 flash. I love the power but i realized that my mpg has dropped to about 30 miles per tank. Have any of you experienced this? Let me know, Thanks

How do you like your APR stage 1 package?
Mr. Daniel-- a few questions about your Prestige A4. Is it the 2.0 T Quatro all wheel drive model by any chance? And are you happy with the APR flash power increase? I am considering buying a 2009 model and there are just NO Prestige models in the Phoenix area to even look at-- let alone purchase. I am concerned that for $600 the APR ECU is a bit expensive and not worth it for only a 17 hp increase-- although the 60 lbs of torque might be a good thing. Is the drivability of the stage one good-- any undesirable power spikes or issues? Other than the drop in fule milage when you are into the loud pedal.....
Thanks for any and all feedback!!

I've had the apr stage1 (93 oct) program for three months now and I think it's great. The power increase is very noticeable. And as for drivability it's the best program out for the b8 A4. If you look at the dyno graphs for APR's program the lines are smooth and the power comes on fast. If you look at other programs such as stasis the lines look like someone took a bite out of it, the lines aren't smooth. Bottom line is I spent more then $600 for my apr program because I got the lockout and the program switching but I would do it again in a second. Also with apr once you upgrade with them they do free reflashes for the supporting mods such as an exhaust ect.

Yes my car is a quattro and i love it. I like the power increase by the apr flash, but doesnt produce as much gain as my son's gti apr stage 1. But i love this car, its fun and amazing to drive. Now i'm looking into a turbo kit from APR.
