    APR turned it over to Magnuson (the charger manufacturer).

    You can buy the charger on their website right now. Stage 3 numbers are mediocre unless you're running high octane fuels.

    Depends how you look at it. It is available, and APR is supposed to be releasing a smaller pulley for it at some point as well.

    Ok, the fact no threads are active on it, nothing on any social media that I visit to do with Audi etc.

    Maybe it will pick up momentum in time once its a bit more proven but in all fairness its a lot of money for hardly anything more than a stage 2 offers for a shit load less money.

    I think that's honestly why we haven't seen more of it. You are correct.

    Was gonna say the same thing. GIAC's stage2 tune is getting like 467 right?

    Im not sure on GIAC. Mine is from MRC and they custom tune the map to your car so it gets on the dyno and mine was run a few times to get the optimum from it. Typically the price from $ to £ tends to be the same so it would be £10k here. If you only getting 540bhp which is only 60bhp more than what I got then why would you throw another £8.5k just to get that?

    Im not sure what your prices for a stage 2 are int he states but here with MRC who are the best there is in the UK its about £1600. The only thing that doesn't change is the exhaust aso add that on top too. But with this SC don't you need to do other work to it, like the internals?

    Even if you don't you got to be made to do it unless you getting it cheap or you just want to be able to say down the pub you got xxx bhp?

    So these cars that have it now, some are on here? Whats there real world performance like? 0-60 1/4 mile etc? £8.5k worth better??
