Hey guys, I was hoping I could get a little help here. I'm thinking about trading my Z4Coupe for a CPO A3. Doing a ton of driving now and need a little more practicality and comfort. I've looked at a few A3's and haven't been blown away with the 2.0T. However, today I took out a 3.2 and loved it. Maybe it's just what I'm used to coming from the BMW inline 6, but things just felt better all around. But I see that APR I believe sells ecu upgrades that really boost the 2.0, even using just stage 1. So I'm curious, would a stage 1 upgrade give the 2.0T the same feel as the bigger 3.2, or are they just completely different animals? Much cheaper to pick up a 2.0T which is why I'm asking.

Thanks

 

I have a 2007 2.0T and bought the Revo Stage 1 flash for it. It drastically improved the performance. The acceleration was much smoother and quicker. I have also recently installed a Billy Boat Turbo Back Exhaust (they make APR's) and a K&N intake. Both those mods have made even quicker. I will also be adding a Revo Stage 2 upgrade soon. I love driving the 2.0T and people are always complimenting how sharp the car looks. Just a few upgrades and the car screams.
