Thought I would share some build info on our latest project - we have been working with APR for over 13 years & have built many stage 3 cars, including Audi A4's, GTI's S3's & Golf R's. We have a great working relationship with APR for over 13 years & are very lucky to have the opportunity to work closely with their engineering team.
This is our second TSI build on our own cars, our previous MK6 (a red 4 door 6MT) ran the "regular" stage 3 kit on a stock engine. This vehicle saw a lot of track use and magazine testing. To date, its still the fastest FWD car ever circuit tested by Motor Magazine (Australia).

It ran 12 second 1/4 miles pretty easily (at ~ 114mph), but never really impressed in straight line acceleration (to journalists) because of the 6 speed manual transmission.
So it came time to build our next car, so we had to work out how to build a better car than our little red beast, we came up with a plan:
DSG
APR Stage 3+
More front end grip
So we purchased a new 3 door DSG and went to work.
Here it is, unmodified, being run on our dyno & then with APR stage 1:
And the results:
