Imminent S3 8P Sportback - Tuning
Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2018 3:28 pm
So, new to me S3 8P S-Tronic and I'm thinking a Stage 1 tune from the off.
Previous car history includes: Lotus Elise S (220bhp), B8 S4 (333bhp), Lexus ISF (417bhp), Lotus Evora (275bhp). I'm not a strangers to left field cars, or a little more power than is absolutely necessary.
A little market research has yielded the following potential contenders for a Stage 1 tune, and I'd value peoples opinions / pointers. In terms of my usage, it'll be commuting mostly with the occasional blat, but no track work. Also, mostly just me in the car, but occasionally school drop offs.
- Revo (up to 308bhp / 326lbft / £499)
- APR (310bhp / 311lbft / £538.80)
- Shark (310bhp / 310lbft / £399)
- Rebellion (331bhp / 296lbft / £500.34)
- TDI Tuning (321bhp / 310lbft / £329.99)
Until I saw reference to TDI Tuning, I was pretty set on an APR product, plus they have a local installer. However, the TDI Tuning is going to give me more top end, equivalent torque but be cheaper by £200. Which isn't to be sniffed at.
Anyone have any experiences to share, pointers?
