Test N’ Tune Time!
Written by Dion on January 27, 2012 – 2:34 pm -
The ACHTUNING VW Golf R is suited up and ready for this weekend’s test n’ tune session. Equipped with StopTech’s “Sport” brake upgrade (slotted rotors/street performance pads/stainless-steel lines) and Hartmann Euromesh 4 wheels that are wrapped in Falken RT615s, we anticipate quite the performance from our all-wheel-driven, K04 equipped Golf, especially now that we’ve got the ECU tune and high pressure fuel pump from APR to back it up as well!!
The Hartmann Euromesh 4 wheels are 18×8 with a 45mm offset, and sit perfectly within the arches both front and back, offering plenty of room for the meaty RT615s.

Volkswagen Automotive Group’s 2.0T found in the Golf R is the world’s premiere 4 cylinder turbocharged engine and APR has developed a line of premiere performance enhancements to compliment VAG’s achievement. APR’s expertly recalibrated engine management upgrades and professionally engineered OEM replacement performance engine components result in an even more enjoyable, powerful and efficient operation with no loss of life or use. APR’s complete line of performance enhancements have been developed for the 2.0T to provide increases of 83 FT-LBS of torque and 79 HP with an APR ECU and Hardware upgrades.
APR’s Software, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Teams have built upon years of experience and unmatched accomplishments with VAG’s standard 200HP 2.0T FSI engine to develop new breakthroughs in drivability and performance enhancement for the Golf R 2.0T which comes with 273HP. APR has been able to fully realize the upgrades VAG provided in increased engine durability, efficiency and performance to deliver a tuning program that is the culmination of 9 years of research and development and unparalleled in the performance aftermarket.
APR Golf R ECU Upgrade Stages

The APR Stage I ECU Upgrade is an ODB-II ECU upgrade that not only gives you higher peak numbers of 306 horsepower and 293 ft-lbs of torque, but also gains of up to 38 horsepower and 34lb-ft throughout the power band!
APR’s ECU Upgrade is the best power per dollar modification for the 2.0T and gives it just the extra edge these cars lack from the factory without pushing the limits. With factory like smoothness and drivability APR’s ECU Upgrade will fill the void in an otherwise excellent car.

APR pushes the 2.0 TSI motor to 500hp!!
Written by Dion on November 21, 2011 – 11:04 am -
Building upon over thirteen years experience turbocharging Audi/VW engines, including four with the 2.0 TSI, APR’s Engineers have once again taken the TSI to ground breaking levels of performance. APR is pleased to introduce the 2.0 TSI Stage III+ Turbocharger System producing 451 horsepower on standard 93 octane pump fuel and 501 horsepower on 100 octane race fuel! Thanks to APR’s advanced real time engine management calibration capabilities, the Stage III+ turbocharger spool is lightning fast with a nearly flat torque curve from 3500 RPM all the way to redline. In all driving conditions, Stage III+ has power instantly on tap to pull you back in your seat and put a huge grin on your face.
Power levels beyond that of the APR Stage III Turbocharger system were made possible with the addition of three main components:
- Garrett/Honeywell GT3071R Turbocharger capable of airflow levels approximately 25% higher than the Stage III GT2860RS unit.
- APR High Pressure Direct Injection Injectors approximately 30% larger than standard OEM TSI injectors.
- APR’s world-class Stage III+ engine management recalibration, available in multiple octane levels seen around the world.
