If your coupe is an A4 it will need tuning with any cam that is going to make a difference in power and worth the expense of the install and additional parts.
Take a look at my cam from Futral Motorsports. It idle decently right away. I would recommend the 114 LSA instead of the 112 as that will improve the idle characteristics. A tune is not absolutely needed but the car was way rich and it really improved the overall performance.
