There are plenty of people here who have RA parts. What parts are you interested in? If you are looking at the RA500 package I wouldn't do that unless you plan on upgrading injectors.

 

Looking to get Stage 3 RA on my 2018 q60 3.0 luxe red. I'd like the whole package out in at once. Whatcha think?

 

It's not a bad buy for sure. I went with the stage 3 but swapped the lower downs out for full catless downpipes. I also added an FI CB exhaust and some other parts. I haven't got everything on the car yet but I should have it done and back on the dyno in a few weeks.

Red Alpha Stage 3 is less than $8,000, even with installation.

Also, I have Stage 3 and more -- it is a completely different car.

 

How much was the total cost for stage 3, if you mind me asking?

 

$3284.75 it's in the link above your post.

 

I thought that was just for the parts?

 

What else do you need? If you are asking for installation costs thats going to depend on where you take the car. I am installing that kit and more myself with help from a buddy here and there.

 

$5k, $6k, $7k? Rough number would help big time!!

 

A rough guess is about $1,000.

Dug up my invoice; pre-dyno inspection, heat exchanger installation, lower downpipe installation, and driveshaft installation was $1,000. The hourly rate was $125 at the time (looks like I got a different rate on other services I had performed at a different time.)

Dyno tuning was $300 + $599.95 for Q60 calibration service + $100 EcuTek USB license key + $250 for EcuTek flash license + $300 for EcuTek Bluetooth interface (cost for the tuning service: $1549.95).

 

So about $6k after everything

 

It should be about $4,284.75 less taxes (Stage 3: $3,284.75 + labor: $1,000).

 

This helps big time, thank you. I'll budget $5k

 

You're probably going to want to budget for a CBE as well unless you already have one.

 

So uhhhh what's that haha

 

That would be a cat back exhaust.

 

What's the benefit of adding the CBE on top of the RA package

 

The largest bottleneck to improving the performance is the secondary catalytic converters (lower downipes); the second largest bottleneck to improving performance is the exhaust after the catalytic converters (Y-pipe, mid-pipe, and axle-back muffler). A cat-back exhaust combined with upgraded downpipes reduces the exhaust bottlenecks and allows the tuner to push the calibration further.

 

less restriction on the exhaust = more power. More power = more exhaust flow needed
