Just got off the phone with APR...WOW!

So im asking the APR guy what stuff I can buy for my car.

Did you guys know for $4500 that they have a turbo kit made by APR that makes the K04 turbo look like a little girl?

There turbo kit according to him will bump our car up to 340hp safely.

he also said 0 - 60 is just under 5 seconds.

I am SERIOUSLY considering this mod.

What are your views?

Yes, it's known as the Stage 3+. There are quite a few on Audiworld that have done it. There are also kits out there from Dahlback and Del Rio that compete with it.

If I get this stage 3 + kit, would I need to make any engine modifications?

Also, would I need to up my braking and suspention at all? or is OEM fine?

A new clutch will be needed in order to launch the car hard, with a OEM clutch you will have to baby it and you wont get to enjoy the full power of the car.
