We’ve been awaiting this kit and it finally dropped into our hands today! The APR 2.0T S3 engine conversion kit takes the Audi A3 and VW MkV 2.0T cars to 320HP and 320 Lb-Ft of torque on 91 octane pump gas! This number increases to 355hp and 368 Lb-Ft of torque on 100 octane gas!
Now before you think that “Yeah but the car is only two wheel drive.” APR’s engineers have expertly recalibrated the engine management system to allow for nearly flat torque delivery from 2500 rpm’s to 5000 rpm’s which results in a smooth linear pull throughout the power band.
The full kit includes the needed APR FSI fuel pump though it is available without the pump for those who may have already purchased it. This kit also includes the software so no additional software purchase is necessary to use this kit.
The APR S3 conversion kit normally retails for $4,999, we will have it on sale until May 9th for only $4,499! We’re also offering discounted installation for only $699! Financing is available for local customers :).
A few other components are highly recommended with this kit such as an exhaust, intake and intercooler but it’s certainly possible to build your car up in stages if you wish.
We commissioned APR to make a dual exhaust solution for the Oettinger equipped VW Mk5 GTI. One of the rear valence options is the dual-exhaust version and up until now, there was not a simple solution to fill these two exhaust cut-outs.
We are very pleased with fitment. The exhaust install was very simple and everything lined up exactly where and how it should. The staggered tip design even is a great touch and matches the curved contour of the Oettinger rear valence.
Yesterday’s post described the arrival of the newest Ohlin’s SL coilover kit from STaSIS Engineering. Today we had the opportunity to install the kit on Chris’ B7 S4, a certified pre-owned purchase from Barrier Audi.
The interesting part though, is that the purchase and installation of this coilover kit was arranged through Barrier Audi. That’s right, the cost of the parts and installation was built into the purchase of this vehicle!!
Chris does not live in Washington so Barrier Audi dropped the car off on Wednesday evening for the installation of the suspension and 19″ B7 RS4 replica wheels the following day.
Work was started today at Achtuning, the STaSIS suspension went in smoothly and the car was finished up in about 4 hours.
Of course having the right tools for the job helps.
Chris wanted the car a bit lower than stock but not too low
Chris will be flying into Seattle to pick up his S4 and drive it 1,200 miles back to home over the weekend.
Thanks Chris, we wish you a safe and enjoyable drive home!

This is the newest suspension kit from STaSIS Engineering, the Ohlins SL coilover kit. Currently offered for the Audi B6 and B7 A4 and S4 the kit is the entry level offering from STaSIS for those vehicles. Priced at almost $1,400 below the STaSIS Motorsport suspension the Ohlins SL kit give much of the same performance without a few of the features found on the Motorsport kit. We’ll be installing this tomorrow on a brand new B7 S4 and that will be a story in itself.
