2013 S4 Questions......

[Gguiles1027]

I recently purchased a 2013 S4 and had a few questions about some things I wanted to do to it....

anyone know if the APR RSC exhaust system for the 3.0 tfsi fits on the 2013 car????
also, I was looking at an APR ECU upgrade does anyone have any idea when this will be available for the 2013 or when they usually come out with the new ones in the past?

While I am here...

If and when I do get the ECU upgrade how important is it to upgrade cooling system??

Excited to order VMR 710's in gunmetal as well.

Any help on my questions is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The APR RSC Exhaust will work on the 2013's. Not sure about the APR ECU, but GIAC has one available, and Stasis said their coming out with one this month?

On the ECU, search for TD1 on here before you get it so you understand fully the implications to your warranty. APR I think has said they should have it out "soon." They normally have a big sale "Spring into Power" in March, so I think they would have it by then. If you just do a stage 1 flash or stage 1/2 with pulley, you should still be ok with cooling

what is TD1..???? GIAC and APR i'm sure some people support each one respectively but I would rather wait for APR if it isn't going to give me warranty problems...can someone help me out here??

TD1 is a situation you probably don't want to be in.

When you go for service and they scan your car or even plug it into the computer to reset the service interval, the computer can detect a tune. Even if you get the APR and select stock mode and lock it, they CAN DETECT it. If the scan detects it, it automatically tells AoA that you have a tune, your VIN/Service record gets flagged TD1 and poof, drive train warranty is gone. You can try to fight it, some dealers are better than others. Search for TD1, there are quite a few threads on it and I don't want to derail this thread with debates and stories about it.
TD1 is for all tunes, even Stasis, but Stasis has its own warranty.
