Introducing Two New Vogtland Coilover Kits

Written by Dion on November 4, 2011 – 10:15 am -

Achtuning exclusive Gran Turismo suspension kits come with custom spring rates and proper shock valving designed to eliminate understeer in hard cornering. Ride quality remains high, while understeer is greatly reduced without the need for a rear roll bar by utilizing a heavier rate rear springs. By utilizing stiffer springs than competing kits in the sub $2,000 range with shocks specifically valved for a compliant ride, the Gran Turismo coilovers are perfect for street and track driving.

APR Presents: 2011/2012 2.0 TSI ECU Upgrades

Written by Dion on October 18, 2011 – 4:28 pm -

APR is pleased to announce 2011/2012 Model Year 2.0 TSI ECU Upgrades are now available for the Jetta, GLI, Passat, CC, Tiguan, Beetle and Eos! Delivering 254 HP and 303 TQ with an APR Stage I Upgrade and over 400 HP with an APR Stage III Turbocharger System, APR customers can experience the same power levels existing customers have enjoyed for years.

In late 2010, VW began delivering several 2011 Model Year vehicles with Bosch’s MED 17.5.2 ECU featuring a new Infineon Tri-Core 1767 processor. Launching a new processor type requires the expertise of APR’s Electrical Engineers to fully dissect, reverse engineer and gain a deep intimate knowledge of the new architecture before software development can begin.

Earlier this year, Volkswagen of America contacted APR to Engineer an all-new Stage IV Turbocharger System to showcase the awesome potential of the 2.0 TSI engine found in the new MK6 Jetta GLI. Upon delivery in May, APR found the Jetta was equipped with the new MED 17.5.2 ECU and required extensive development to meet Volkswagen’s expectations of an early delivery at Waterfest, 2011. With months of R&D previously dedicated to the new ECU, APR was able to write software for a 500 HP 2.0 TSI Stage 4 engine build, completing this seemingly impossible project before the GLI had even been released to the North American market.

APR’s Electrical Engineers were then tasked with creating tools necessary for any APR Dealer to flash the ECU in a convenient manor. APR has continued to reinvest in human capitol and as the Engineering department continues to grow, development of new ECU types should be available at a more rapid rate in the future.

APR’s forthcoming Universal Programming Device will allow APR Dealers to flash a multitude of ECU makes and models, in house, without sending customer ECU’s to APR’s HQ. APR anticipates dealer flashing by December 2011. While development of this tool continues, ECU’s will be sent directly to APR’s HQ for upgrading. Depending on ECU, please allow for a one to two business day turn around.

ECU Software is now available for the following vehicles:

2011-2012 – CC – 2.0 TSI

2011-2012 – Passat – 2.0 TSI

2011-2012 – Tiguan – 2.0 TSI

2011-2012 – Jetta – 2.0 TSI

2012 – Jetta GLI – 2.0 TSI

2011-2012 – Eos – 2.0 TSI

2012 – The Beetle – 2.0 TSI

All other existing 2.0 TSI ECU upgrades are still available at APR dealers around the world.

APR has the following stages available with APR’s Patented EMCS Programs Switching features:

APR Stage I
For use on a completely stock vehicle, or with light bolt on modifications.

APR Stage II
For use with a high flow exhaust system and other bolt on modifications.

APR K04 Turbocharger System
Included with purchase of our APR K04 Turbocharger System.

APR Stage III Turbocharger System
Included with purchase of our APR Stage III Turbocharger System.

APR released their Supercharger Pulley Upgrade for the Audi (C6) A6 3.0T

Written by Dion on October 5, 2011 – 11:50 am -

Product Page: http://shop.achtuning.com/APR-MS1000…ulley-Kit.aspx

APR is pleased to present the world’s first Supercharger Pulley and corresponding ECU Upgrade for the A6 3.0 TFSI. Without recalibrating the ECU found in Audi’s latest line of supercharged direct injected vehicles, pulley upgrades offer no advantage, as the supercharger will simply bypass boost pressure. With APR’s ability to expertly recalibrate the 3.0 TFSI Engine Control Unit, we are able to develop new hardware and calibrate the ECU to work properly as if intended by the factory.

Many enthusiasts coming from Audi’s history of turbocharged vehicles expected massive increases in torque, at lower RPMs, simply by adding an ECU Upgrade. Unlike turbochargers, roots style superchargers are positive displacement meaning they provide a fixed amount of air flow based on engine speed. On the 3.0TFSI Audi chose to use a bypass valve that bleeds off boost pressure when requested. Keeping the valve almost completely shut at lower RPMs allows them to make respectable torque and opening the valve at higher RPMs allows them to keep horsepower within their marketing goal. Consequently, the APR Stage I ECU upgrade provides a relatively low increase in torque but an exceptional increase in power. For those demanding more torque, the APR Supercharger Pulley Upgrade is the answer. Spinning the supercharger faster increases air flow and effectively doubles the low-end gains of Stage I. The gain in torque is felt immediately, but the results are present from beginning to end adding up to 90ft-lbs and 113 horsepower at all four wheels!

APR has chosen not to cut any corners and as such each APR Supercharger Pulley Upgrade Kit includes a new supercharger belt. Furthermore, all existing APR Stage I ECU Upgrade customers are entitled to a free APR Stage II+ ECU Upgrade required for proper functionality. Finally, every APR Pulley is E-Coated black for an OEM appearance.

Increased Supercharger Speed

The 3.0 TFSI uses an Eaton Twin Vortices Series (TVS) Roots-type Supercharger unit, which features a four-lobe rotor design to safely run at high operating speeds. APR’s no stranger to the Eaton TVS1320 Supercharger Unit having spent several years developing a Stage III Supercharger System for the High Revving Audi RS4 and S5 4.2L FSI V8. Through the years, APR’s Engineering Teams placed even greater speed demands on the TVS1320 than offered to the public with a flawless track record.

A balance of power and reliability is always a concern when going beyond what Audi delivers from the factory and APR’s Engineering Teams use accelerated life testing both in house and through professional motorsport racing to ensure years of Performance Without Compromise.

Increased Boost Pressure

Unlike turbochargers, superchargers boost pressure is nearly fixed in relation to engine speed. The factory supercharger unit features an electronically controlled bypass valve which bleeds off boost pressure when mass airflow and load levels increase past the power requirements set from the factory. The APR ECU upgrade prevents boost from bleeding back into the intake system, resulting in higher boost levels. However, boost pressure is still limited by the size and the speed of the supercharger.

The APR Supercharger Pulley Upgrade increases the RPM of the supercharger resulting in an increase of boost pressure all the way to redline. This results in torque you can feel off idle all the way to redline.

Installation Kit

The factory pulley is pressed on to the supercharger’s input shaft. It’s not possible to remove the factory pulley without damage, or damaging the supercharger itself unless special care and attention is taken.

The APR Supercharger Pulley Installation Kit is designed to encapsulate the entire pulley and pull
evenly across its entire surface. The unit is compact enough to not require complete removal of the front end of your vehicle, reducing labor time. Furthermore a provision was made to incorporate a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar which allows the entire assembly to be easily counter-held and ultimately makes the process a one man job.

A complete install manual covers the install process from start to finish, making installation easily completed at any APR dealer or in your own garage.

Software

APR Stage 2+ Software is REQUIRED to take advantage of this modification.
Pulley upgrades do not work on stock or stage 1 software.

APR Stage 2+ Software Upgrade is included as a free upgrade for existing APR Stage 1 customers.

If you do not have APR Software already, you’ll need to purchase it when sending in your ECU for this upgrade. Also, if you currently have stock software, you’ll need to visit an APR dealer to have your ECU prepared.

Stage 2+ Requirements

Nothing else is required!
