I just bought a 2015 R. I see many members of the forum have APR upgrades. I am thinking about adding the stage 1 upgrade. Are there any downsides to doing this?
Big problem they are having on the MK7s are blown motors & turbos (with and without tunes). I know of one person who has a MK7 GTI and has blown two motors/turbos due to faulty turbos and VW said not their problem because he's tuned. Food for thought until they figure it out.
Yes. Yes there is. You see, after your stage 1 tune you will enjoy the added power for a while. But the thirst for more power will grow stronger with each passing day. First it's an intake. Then it's a down pipe. Before you know you it the floodgates will open and you will have spent $5k in mods. At that point you will say "screw it, what's another $5k? YOLO, bro. I'm going stage 7!"
This!

I heard that anything over stock HP requires another clutch most of the time, but that was just coming from another member. Might be worth researching that before hand. Thats for a MT of course. IDK if you have a DSG or not..
