    When are the big box companies coming out with the Stage 3 tune? The turbo is out there and the ECU has been cracked forever. TTE 440L is ready and waiting. Do you hear me APR, IE, Unitronics, 034??????????? Looks like Malone Tuning and their Tunezilla have attempted and succeeded but the power numbers still look low for what the Hybrid Turbo can produce. Who is currently working on this? thanks.

    They need to get the Stg1 for the B9.5 out first. Don't make us lug around stock while you get even more power. :D

    In all seriousness though the ROI on a Stg 1/2 for the B9.5 would be higher (more sales) than the Stg3 which would be a smaller market and since they still have no release date for Stg1 (they did just release the one for the transverse in the GTI/R/S3) I would not expect anything soon.
    '23 A4 Allroad Prestige | District Green | Black Optics | 034 Dynamic+ Springs
    '18 TTRS - Mexico Blue | APR Stg 1 e85/TCU Tune | RSe10 Bronze | Girodisc rotors front/Neuspeed 350mm Rears | Black Optics/Sport Exhaust | Red Calipers | Red Stitching
    '14 VW Touareg TDI R-Line - White | Euro paddle shift
    '12 VW Golf R - White | Stg 3 APR | Too much to list here

    I don't think it will be too long for the B9.5. They just put out the B9.5 tunes for the S models in December 2022. You're definitely right about the fact that they should prioritize their moneymaker and work on the B9.5 but for God's sake the Stage 3 tune on a B9 is low hanging fruit. Just put an intern on it the ECU has been unlocked and the turbo is available.
