APR’s Audi S5 Supercharger Kit

Written by Dion on July 29, 2011 – 2:53 pm -

APR’s Engineering Teams are pleased to present their second iteration of the Audi 4.2l V8 FSI
Supercharger application. Producing over 537 HP and 443 ft-lbs of torque, APR’s B8 S5 Stage III
adds over 187 horsepower which completely transforms Audi’s latest coupe to new levels of acceleration and performance.

Applying forced induction to a normally aspirated production engine is no simple task and APR’s
Engineering Teams understand that new innovations, processes and components must be incorporated into the design to insure OEM reliability and drivability while producing incredible performance results. Within APR’s Stage III, you will find more components and higher quality parts at every comparison than with any of the competing products currently available. The goal of APR’s design was not merely fitment and operation but consideration of the long term effects of such a dramatic power increase and the overall reliability of the vehicle. Extra steps must be taken to insure Performance Without Compromise.

APR RS4 Killin’ It!

Written by Dion on March 15, 2011 – 11:51 am -

After some ground-breaking developments that lead to updating the inter-cooler system of APR’s supercharger kit and new engine calibration by APR’s engineers, they are now able to squeeze additional power and offer you this power at a much more palatable price!

Claims have reached 550hp but some recent tests are showing numbers reaching 580hp on pump gas! Race gas programming is currently in development. This last weekend, APR used a Racelogic Performance box at Montgomery Motorsports Park and recorded a 3.7 second 0-60 mph time, an 8.2 second 60-120 mph time, and the time slips provided by the race track recorded a best 60’ time of 1.784 seconds!

Oh, and that palatable price I mentioned… The original $20K cost is now $14,999.

APR Trip Recap: Part 2

Written by Dion on March 2, 2010 – 9:12 pm -

Before setting out into the local Alabama scene, we had to sport our VW New Beetles proper. It was no Jetta or Passat as promised by the lovely voice on the phone, but it was going to have to do!

We took care of business, had us some local BBQ, then went right back to APR to get a closer look around. Seeing the B8 S4 parked up front with vanity “APR B8 S4″ brings a smile from ear to ear on the faces of the entire Achtuning crew – the B8 S4 is what we’ve all been waiting for!

The street version…

The walk around the parking lot was refreshing. The donk’d out Skylarks and chromed wrapped Mazda pick-ups throughout town, while entertaining, just wasn’t really what we were in Opelika to see.

The inside though was the business!!

… Oh, and the track version B8 S4!

We’ve followed along with Arin’s updates of the APR Mk6 GTI Race Build and it was definitely very cool to see it up close in person.

The Mk5s of course are still getting some play.

The team at APR consists of professional, knowledgeable, and friendly people, and a diverse group at that. They’ve got a state-of-the-art facility and deep ties with big names in the performance industry. They recently added Volkswagen to their roster of support, a true sign of good things to come. Then there’s the quality line-up of high-performing VWs and Audis parked out front sporting the products we sell, not to mention a full Motorsport division using (and abusing) these products regularly on the track – this all assures us there is a reason we are an APR dealer… And also why we’re here. Which brings us to our announcement made Saturday night.

The B7 Audi RS4 SUPERCHARGER kit for the FSI 4.2L V8 is done! We are told we should be installing these kits as early as this May and I can already think of a few local RS4 guys who should be lining up to get this done. The supercharger kit will certainly carry over to the Audi S5, R8, and Q7. There’s even talk about Audi RS5 compatibility – let’s hope we get them here in North America!

Heffner Performance has partnered with APR to offer V8 Audi R8 customers a twin-turbocharger kit! Our sources tell us the kit will produce 500 whp on pump gas and 6 psi!

More software products are expecting to debut within this 2010 season including DSG transmission upgrades and TDI software and performance product development. We’ve already got a shipment of VW Mk6 GTI turbo-back exhausts en route and it’s just a matter of time before we begin to see B8 Audi S4 software and performance product parts available. It’s going to be a great future with APR!
