Yep, I hear ya. I've been bugging the Stasis folks via email, and did get them to admit that the Challenge package will have an ECU tune and "something more" at the end of the year, but that's all they'd say. Good enough for now, since I don't have an S4 yet anyway and it'll probably be four months before I can order one, and closing on November/December before I could get one all set up. My nearest dealer (Barrier Audi) in Bellevue, WA is a Stasis dealer as well.

My brother and I installed the stage 2 kit. Installation instructions are translated quite literally and are funny to read but we got it finished without much hassle.

Cherry Hill Imports in NJ has serviced it and before they serviced the car they asked me if I had any modifications. When I said I did they had a tech call me to talk before they did any service. They were really cool about it. Basically said the only time they wouldn't cover a warranty repair is if corporate wouldn't compensate them for the work. He reinforced the fact that they aren't out to get anyone with their mods and they would hide them the best they could to try to get all work covered by warranty.

The car is noticeably faster, more fun to drive and I've experienced better gas mileage with it. Now that my car is broken in I get ~19mpg combined and do a ton of heavy traffic driving. I did a post on Audizine about it. If you search for it you'll see some gtech screen shots for 0-60 runs. It was roughly .03 seconds faster 0-60. Haven't used the gtech since so I can't say I really put much effort into getting the fastest time I possibly could. Fastest time was 4.31 seconds but if I remember correctly the majority of the post install runs were in the 4.5x's. I was really surprised how fast it was before the install. 4.8x seconds 0-60 is stupid fast. Had I disabled the stability and traction control I probably could have gotten better times. At the time I was more worried about not getting caught WOT back and forth on this back road I had found. I forgot.

The price itself is subjective. Supply/demand blah blah, no competition blah blah. Believe me when I say I've pissed away 3 grand on things that have brought me mush less happiness. The car was almost 60K. What's another 3?

Last night I installed a Hyperflow intake and I'm going to call AWE so I can swing by there to hear their exhaust. If I get it installed I'll have them dyno the car while it's there. I'll post it up so everyone will have some more info to chew on.

I say get it. But if you don't you should do an ecu upgrade of some kind when they become widely available. You won't be disappointed. It's a different car afterwards.
