The Audi community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. APR and Revo are the leading tuning brands for Audi, right up to Stage 1+. On mid-range Audi diesels, Stage 1 delivers a noticeable torque gain. Mid-range Audi engines form the backbone of the range; Stage 1 preserves engine life. In the mid segment, the Audi community is an open platform with a large library of ready-made Stage files. The factory calibration is conservative, with headroom for Stage 1 and no hardware changes. The MQB platform is the most refined chip tuning segment in Europe.
