I have APR's full Dual pulley ultracharged set up, I absolutely love it, but all said and done it cost me almost 4500 dollars after buying the tune, 2 pulleys, the throttle body, intake and heat xchanger.
If I were to do it all again going straight from stock I would do Unitronic's new Stage 3 dual pulley setup. You can get similar power numbers to Apr Ultra, and you will come up shy of 2000 for the pulleys and tune.
I would NOT recommend any dual pulley upgrade with stock cooling however, so you for heatxchangers you could look into: Merc, Alpha AMP, AWE colfront,(all under 1k I believe) and youll end up paying under 3k for a very fast car, with tune, hardware, cooling and all.

Install, if you have any mechanical bone in your body and basic garage tools you can install all of this by yourself with the help of DIY guides here on AZine.

Standing by for more questions, but do some searching on this forum and look into reviews, pricing etc. it can be hard to get answers with such an open ended question. This place has the answers, do some digging, its all here

First decide what tuner you go with. Some include or require a proprietary pulley and others don't so make that decision first

Thanks, that was awesome info that's so much..
I don't want to do a full update just yet cuz my car still under warranty by Audi and don't want to waste it since I paid for it lol. I'm friends with the service manager at Audi and as long as I don't do a full tune he will make sure I have the warranty (he will do his best to keep it from getting flag on their computer).

I have awe tuning touring exhaust and roc euro intake installed with the chipwerke s, it's running beautifully together. I have my chip set on F, and use 93 Octane fuel (only) with occasionly a mixed of E85.

I was told I can go to stage 2 with my Chipwerke S from some of my friends and the chipwerke company.. I just have to update my pulley and send back my chip to have it remapped.

Now I want a now power but don't want lose the warranty..
So what do you think I can do?

Really nothing you can do without a new supercharger pulley or Crank pulley. You've maxed it out to keep your warranty currently. Don't really know where you should go from here...

This may be a dumb question but what is needed to making your car stage 2. what parts..

You can't go stage 2 (supercharger pulley upgrade) without at least some risk of the dealer noticing the smaller pulley (although the risk is probably slim)

Ok, so let's say I'm not worry about the dealer and wanted to do an update pulley I should change my supercharger and crank pulley.. Is there a certain order and I need a going or do I change them at the same time and is there a recommended size to go with or brand

Heres the issue, changing pulleys aren't the easiest mods, if you were to have an issue with the car on warranty, you would have to swap the stock pulley back on and flash to stock, PITA!

You can swap pulleys whenever, car will bleed boost until you have the proper tune, would not recommend swapping until ready to install tune.

You could skip the supercharger pulley and go straight to dual pulley power using a large single pulley setup at 203 or 206mm on the crank. This repaces the failure prone crank, reduces install costs and potentially saves on individual part costs.

Here's one large pulley crank option.

Kustom Imports makes an undampened version that you can buy via PM.

XLR8 also makes a 196.5mm version.
