Went to Genesis today and got my ECU reflashed with an APR Stage 1 tune. Bumps my weak ass 1.8T from 180 HP* a healthy 35 HP up to 215HP/245 ft-lbs* of torque. this is a temporary mod, and within a month i will be APR stage 2, getting 235HP/275 ft-lbs*.
The stage 1 is amazing, it is exactly what this car SHOULD be stock. bumped up the boost from 8 PSI to 18 PSI and also re-tuned the car from the factory 91 octane to the real world 93 octane. Very smooth through out the power band, and overall a much more enjoyable ride. turbo spools realtively loudly (for such a tiny turbo) and the engine and exhaust also sound much better than stock. should put me in low 15 or MAYBE even a high 14 second pass. we will see soon!
*EDIT* all HP/TQ numbers are at the crank and also Audi(stock)/APR advertised numbers
