Hey folks,

I’ve been thinking about getting a custom tune for my Audi A3 (2018 2.0T), but I’m still on the fence. A buddy of mine just tuned his GTI, and the difference in power and throttle response blew me away. It got me wondering how much of a transformation I could see with the A3.

For those of you who’ve done it, what kind of gains did you notice? Was it mostly about power, or did it change the driving experience overall? Did you go with a Stage 1, or did you dive deeper into mods? Also, any recommendations for trusted tuners or software?

I’m not looking to turn it into a track car, but I’d love a bit more punch on the highway and maybe smoother shifts. Let me know your experience, and if you’ve got dyno numbers or before-and-after stories, do share - want to know what you guys have tried
