The Build and Adventures of the ActivS5

[ActivS5]

These tuners are killing me. We have one company with a pulley but no B8.5 tune, and another company with a B8.5 tune but no pulley And then theres Stasis with a warranty but no tune lol

Right?! I don't feel comfortable jumping on a tune without a warranty when the car is so new. I assume you feel the same?

Maybe down the line when the warranty is almost up. I don't think Stasis will come out with a pulley upgrade. They didn't with the B8 3.0T.

Not sure if I'll get bored of stage 1 if Stasis plans to call it quits at that...

Im actually really confused. You would think this was a life or death decision the way I keep going back and forth with it lol.
I do feel the same way, im not sure I want to throw my warranty away. On the other hand, a tune with pulley just seems so tempting. But then I think, is the extra few hp/tq from a pulley worth it? Then I also tell myself that its a brand new car and I shouldnt need to use the warranty. See my dilemma? haha

HAHA damn! That's one pickle!

I've driven a B8 S4 with a stage 2 tune and pulley, and my goodness it's quick. Never driven a stage 1 3.0T before though.

The pulley adds about 25-30 WHP over stage 1 if I'm not mistaken?

Wow great build.

Only thing I would have done differently is add a manual transmission so you can get the sports diff for only $495 more than the sticker price ; )

Can't wait to see more mods.

You shouldn't... until you do.

I'm in the same boat. Everyone (not car people) keeps telling me I've got plenty of power and pull. Is it so bad to want more?

Definitely subscribed to this thread to see what choices y'all make.
