Audi Tuning | VW Tuning

Our very long over-due Vogtland re-stocking order has arrived… Well, part of it anyway.

Back-orders that are ready to be filled will be shipped immediately. We thank you all for your continued patience!!

We took the opportunity to test-fit some of our new Hartmann Wheels on the Achtuning CC today. First up is the brand new Hartmann HV10-289 wheels, made available in a 19×8.5 with a 38mm offset. We’ve even got a 47mm offset coming soon which will make fitment a breeze with just about every popular VW/Audi application we sell Hartmann wheels to…

Next up was the 19×8.5 +47 Hartmann HRS6-204-GA:M, a limited edition gloss-anthracite/machined finish.

We’d like to see these styles on a few more applications so stay tuned as we bring in a few other models for test-fitting!

Sizes are S/M and L/XL. Click on the image above and begin shopping!

We’ve added yet another new finish to a popular wheel, the Hartmann HTT-256-GA:M - a gloss-anthracite/machined finish!

Our first local install was on Chris’ Audi allroad. Chris had originally been on the back-order list for the matte-anthracite/machined finish but the long delay and the debut of this new style made him come in earlier and switch out his order. Adding 20mm H&R spacers to the 19×8.5 +38 wheels, the final look is just what we would expect for an enthusiast owned allroad. See for yourself!

ATTN: VW Golf R owners!

Pre-order your VWR Golf R intake and APR RSC turbo-back exhaust with Achtuning and we’ll throw in a FREE VWR soft shell jacket! To take advantage of this “Golf R Combo” package, please call us at 425-895-0000!

APR’s RSC™ Technology is now available for the MK6 Golf R in their newest 2.0T RSC™ 3″ Performance Exhaust System. RSC™ or Reflective Sound Cancellation allows for maximum exhaust gas flow while completely eliminating unwanted in cabin sound resonance known as “drone”. RSC™ incorporates innovative technologies developed in conjunction with NASA. With limited use of packing materials and no baffles, RSC™ allows for a completely straight and free flowing exhaust path throughout the RSC™ mufflers. Reflective Cancellation bounces the undesirable sound waves into each other to attenuate the wave and completely eliminate the low frequency tones that create drone. Each RSC™ muffler is tuned to eliminate specific, undesirable sound frequencies allowing only the engine’s true and desirable exhaust not to be heard and improving performance.

APR’s design specifications and manufacturing requirements result in a 3″ mandrel bend stainless steel performance exhaust system with minimal bends unmatched by any other. RSC™ technology ensures the maximum possible performance increases from any performance exhaust system while maintaining refined and unobtrusive sound inside the cabin.

Exhaust System Features

APR’s Golf R RSC™ Performance Exhaust System features the same great designs from APR’s Engineering Team and high quality manufacturing incorporating the following:

• High Flow Straight Through 3″ Unrestricted Design
• High Precision CNC Mig Welding
• High Precision Jewelry Grade Tig Welding
• Low Carbon Stainless Steel Construction
• 200 Cell Metal Matrix Catalyst
• Resonated AWD Downpipe
• High Strength Torca Exhaust Clamps
• Interchangeable Polished Stainless Steel or Diamond Black Tips
• Double Walled and Rolled Tips Laser Etched with APR Logo
• Lifetime Warranty

No cutting or modifications are required to install this system in any form. The Turboback System replaces the entire exhaust. The Catback System replaces the exhaust system after the factory catalytic converter pipe, includes a 3″ reducer to connect the factory exhaust without any cutting and remains emission compliant. The Downpipe replaces the factory catalytic converter system and includes a reducer to connect to the rear factory mufflers without any cutting.

Power Gains

Power gains were measured in identical testing conditions using APR’s in house dynamometer. The factory exhaust was tested against the APR RSC Turboback Exhaust in various software and hardware configurations. The average maximum gains were rounded down to the nearest 5 HP and are listed below. APR recorded gains between 10 and 25 HP in various configurations proving the exhaust’s 3″ straight through free flowing design increases power over the stock exhaust system.

Our VWR Intake has arrived from APR…

We’ve just added the intake to our online catalog and will be installing this one on the Achtuning Golf R immediately. Should have a decent impression of what we “feel” this will do for the R at the track this weekend.  Click the image to view product details about the VWR intake.

It’s that time of the year again!!

Achtuning is pleased to announce APR’s release of the ultimate ECU Upgrade for the Audi TT RS and RS3 2.5 TFSI. After months of long nights and many hours of testing, development and more testing, we are pleased to offer you an ECU recalibration that is second to none. APR’s extensive research and development provides you with a powerful ECU Upgrade with no loss of drive-ability or reliability. Expect tremendous increases in power and torque across the entire power band, improved throttle response and a smoother, more powerful top end.

The 2.5 TFSI’s engine management presented new challenges to the Engineering Teams at APR in the form of new control strategies for torque management. Significant time was spent researching these new strategies to properly request more load and therefore more boost in the lower end of the power band. The results were simple, a torque curve that crushes the competition and delivers a rush of power like no other in the industry.

The Audi 2.5 TFSI ECU Upgrade is an expertly recalibrated engine control strategy that remaps boost, timing, air fuel ratios and other engine management paramaters to provide smooth and reliable power as if intended by the OEM. APR’s ECU Upgrade is developed to work within the OEM and Tier 1 Supplier specifications for engine component stress tolerances and performance specifications. APR’s ECU Upgrades are available in octane specific versions to allow you to take full advantage of the fuel quality available in your area.

APR’s Motorsport Left Foot Braking feature is now available allowing customers more control over their vehicle’s throttle. Under normal operation, throttle input is disabled while pressing the accelerator and brake at the same time, however this may be undesirable for those looking to get the most out of their vehicles performance on the track. Enabling the left foot braking feature, the driver will have complete control over the vehicle’s throttle and braking system, which may give the edge he or she needs at the track.

Stage I ECU Upgrade

Not only does the APR Stage I ECU Upgrade give you higher peak numbers of 414 horsepower and 430 ft-lbs of torque, but also gains of up to 73 horsepower and 79 lb-ft are available at lower RPMs! APR’s ECU Upgrade is the best power per dollar modification for the new 2.5 TFSI and gives it just the extra edge these cars lack from the factory without pushing the limits. With factory like smoothness and drive-ability APR’s ECU Upgrade will fill the void in an otherwise excellent car.
