Anyone have long term experience with an APR Stage 1 upgrade - 2017 R? I’m reading that it boosts pressure further - from 28 to 36psi. Can the engine handle more output for long term? Not planning to run it often, but don’t want damage at 100K mi.

I've had both APR stage 1 & 2 , Keep going back to stage 1 as prefer the quieter life with a oem exhaust and feel 370 ish BHP is plenty for road use, would 100% recommend the DSG tune if you have the 6 speed box as well , only issue i've had is turbo blown but mine was the early 702n turbo which was prone to going .

Hi Folks. 40,000 miles on APR stage 1: half on low torque with standard tcu tune, half on high torque with stage 1 apr dq381 tcu tune. Absolutely no issues. I drive pretty hard and fast. Mostly highway miles. Some hard driven canyon miles. I’ve been very happy with it. Hope that helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi there. Could you advise what year R and was it the Manual or DSG? If manual, did you change the clutch right away to handle the high torque APR stage 1 file?
