Default APR ECU Upgrade

Hi, I'm new to this forum but have had VW TDIs for the past 10 years. I saw the huge difference in performance and mileage with a chipped TDI. Unfortunately, Audi doesn't bring any TDI engine for the Q5s here .
Anyway, I do have a 2011 Q5 2.0 and I was wondering if anyone has done an ECU upgrade with APR. As of 2 weeks ago, APR didn't even have the programs for the 2011, but they will have them soon. Any input will be great . Thanks!

Default Tried to get it

I dropped off my Q5 2.0T / 2011 a couple weeks ago at Precision Motorworks after getting a confirmation email from APR that the ECU upgrade is available - we even checked serial number and firmware version of the ECO prior to the appointment - but bad luck, when they tried to download it, it did not work and it turned out its not yet available even though the website says so and they confirmed it. I complained to APR but not even a response, nothing. Obviously I am not happy. If you find anything, please let me know - the car drives great but a little more torque would certainly not hurt and 30% more is significant enough to do it.

Apparently Stasis has an alternative but I am still trying to find out more details.

I called APR on Friday and Ryan said the programs for 2011 are not out yet. Hopefully soon. Keep on checking with them. At one point we'll get it .

I am in the market for a Q5 + ECU package. I too am new to all this. I'd love to know how you like your APR kit. So far I only vaguely know about the APR and Stasis kits. I'd love to find out how fast the 0-60 is with the APR system.
Stasis is supposed to get you to 6.2 secs.

Thanks.
