    Went from stage 2 to dual pulley + ultracharger. Made a video review of it. 0-75 was heat-soaked.

    What cooling system are you using? I have a massive HX and heat soak is pretty much non existent.

    I have the same setup with the CPS. You should get a P3 multi-gauge.

    is there a big HP /TQ difference going to UC and was it worth it ?? I Already have the stage 2+ w/ CPS but I heard that you have to upgrade the Cats as well as they will burn out.

    alot

    For a stage 2+ with CPS and install was around 4500ish for me with military discount added..this included stage 1 because you have to have this prior. You can expect to add another $1800 plus install / software for the UC.

    Did you ever consider getting the S7? Although those run $10K over the A7. Had you gotten the S7 and modded it then some other guy would say why didnt you just get the RS7...lol. Nice looking ride!

    I did after getting the a7 initially but the way it is now I'm happy with it...I dont need 500 or 600hp to get to work or to the next stoplight or traffic jam...the stage 2+ is a really good 400hp setup for an a7 v6 driver who wants a good power increase when u need it..its def not slow in any way..other than that I'm cruising mostly man..the car will speak for itself as I get more praise about the car setup, not the hp numbers ..jus my opinion

    APR actually says to REMOVE the cats, as the elevated exhaust temp will damage them...

    It's a nice setup...I've thought about the UC, but at stage II+ (dual pully) my car is plenty quick enough for me. With Sport exhaust and RS intake it sounds mellifluous to my ears. My wife drove it for a grocery run while I was tinkering with the B8 coupe, and as she drove away, I smiled wide and tried to pat myself on the back ;-)

    LOL... I had the similar response when wife took my A6 APR Stage 2 ... When she came back she said I gave her "the look" while she drove away.... unbeknownst to her I was drooling over the A6 but since my windows are tinted 15% I didn't actually see wife driving... rather watched as my A6 with new RS Grill with CF Front Lip, CF Rear Spoiler and Gloss Wrap Roof looked so damn good driving down the road... I just let her think I was drooling over her instead... ;-) shhhh

    Hey bud - still no issues whatsoever going dual pulley without any cooling upgrade? I'm still tinkering with the idea of adding the crank pulley..
