Doing some research on tunes for my '16 A3 and see several great options. Most of which have their fans in here.

I think I have it narrowed down to the Uni 1+ and IE 1 or 2, but that brings up my question of "bang for the buck". Going strictly by advertised hp and tq figures, the Uni 1+ shows 310hp/347tq with no required hard part upgrades. IE 2 shows 327hp/399tq with another 2k+ in required or highly recommended upgrades.

I would likely do the TCU upgrade regardless, and 93 octane is all I have where I live.

I get that more is always better, but that doesn't seem like a huge bump for the investment? Especially if you could start with the Uni 1+ and spend maybe 1k on upgrades and come close to, or match the IE 2. Or, am I way off base?

From what I see, I would be happy with either one as reviews for both are very good, and I really like the ability to DIY in my garage as most dealer garages are several hours away.


...and...go!
