APR said:Turbo Disclaimer
Enhancing the performance of a vehicle through hardware or software modifications sold by APR, LLC will increase the stresses and wear placed on the vehicle's engine, ancillary parts and components and drivetrain. This in turn may accelerate their normal wear and need for service and replacement and decrease their longevity. This is true even for versions of software that are lower output because such lower output versions create less stresses than the high output versions but still increase the stresses relative to factory settings.
Additionally, on August 5, 2014, Audi released a Technical Service Bulletin (21E7 UPDATE) stating that on A3 vehicles manufactured during a certain period "the turbocharger may fail causing the MIL to illuminate." The turbochargers referenced in this bulletin are the same as or similar to those utilized on other vehicles manufactured by the Volkswagen Auto Group (VAG). The increased stresses placed on the vehicle's engine, ancillary parts and components and drivetrain by APR, LLC hardware or software (including both low and high output versions) may also exacerbate any inherent design or production flaws in these turbochargers, accelerate their failure and thereby result in other damage.
APR, LLC makes no claims, promises or guarantees regarding the effects any of its products have on the longevity of the engines, ancillary parts and components or drivetrains of customer vehicles.
The customer understands that installing APR, LLC products on such vehicles could void the manufacturer's or other third party warranty should the turbocharger or any other part covered by the warranty fail. The customer further understands and agrees that APR, LLC expressly disclaims and shall have no liability for any damages of any kind related to vehicle failures or a manufacturer or third party ref using to honor a warranty. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, APR, LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS.
Regarding the aforementioned circumstances, access to APR, LLC software is expressly conditioned upon acceptance of all terms and conditions contained in this agreement. If you accept the foregoing terms and conditions, please indicate your agreement by clicking the link below labeled "I ACCEPT."

Not surprising, VW needs to get their act together with their turbos on the MK7. APR's stage 1 file does seem overly aggressive with concerns to longterm reliability imo, even if the stock turbos weren't popping like grapes on unmodified MK7's.
What performance mod companies DO take responsibility for their products?
If you tune your car and blow it up, AFAIK you're on your own no matter who wrote the software.
Wait wait wait did someone say chili?
