| Hi guys recently got my Audi s3 8v 2016 manual a apr stage 1 tune. I came out on the low end of the bhp with average torque figures and I'm looking for someone with knowledge to speak to about this. Any help appreciated |

how much hp/tq did you make?
all dynos are diff, the best way to test ur results is get a dragy and compare quarter mile times and mph to others who have the stage 1 tune |

| I have a 2015 Golf S 1.8T. With the almost 60 added HP I am really tempted to get a stage 1 and maybe even stage 2 apr tune. I came from an 07 GTI, so I am kind of missing the power of my old GTI. The only thing that has me second guessing is the fact that it may void my warranty. So for you guys who have bought new with warranties, is it worth the risk getting the car tuned? Thanks! |

| I've been an automotive tech for many years, and recently within the last 5 years or so have gotten into custom tuning via HPTuners. If I can help at all let me know. Have you datalogged your pulls at all? More Specifically would like to know your AFR numbers, Knock conditions as well as octane ratio. Your car may be pulling timing due to poor fuel. |
