Default Looking for people with APR Stage 1 setup

I'm trying to get a sense of what kind of improvment I can expect from this upgrade.

I am not able to do anything else to the car due to the fact it's a business car that's leased but I can get away with Stage 1.

Anybody out there that can give me a review?

Is the gain bigger going from Stock to Stage 1 or is it more going from Stage 1 to 1+.

I know what the numbers say from dyno runs but what does the butt dyno say?

the bottom line, if you have a good tuner close and a good repoire with dealer, go for it

Default With DPP, your installer can probably give you a 6 hr trial

That's what i'm gonna do. Where you located? If you're in norcal, there's a deal going down for APR software in a few weeks.

I'm worried about problems too. I've heard you'll need a new DV, cuz the stock one will fail. Also, i've heard APR doesn't provide the highest performance gains. To me sounds like GIAC is one of the best all 'round chips but their DPP only allows for 1 program (no switching).
