Benson drove down from Vancouver, British Columbia in his brand new B8 Audi A4, a trip he planned in a short amount of time after picking up his new car.

The new A4 was to receive brand new H&R Street Performance Coil-Overs, Hartmann’s Mesh 305 Wheels with H&R spacers (15mm up front, 20mm out back) to allow the wheels to sit properly within the A4′s fenders, and APR’s ECU Upgrade for the 2.0TSI.

With wheels and a drop to compliment them, and the added power APR squeezes out of the ECU settings, Benson is already steps ahead of many who have begun B8 Audi A4 modding.

Flynn had one goal in mind for his 1997 Audi A4 1.8T, and that was to give it a performance make-over that would put this earlier-modeled B5 A4 among the rest of the “Achtuned” B5 A4s out there.

An APR ECU upgrade , a Techtonics Tuning turbo-back exhaust, and a Stasis Streetsport Suspension were all ingredients for Flynn’s plans to revive his A4 into a car he’d enjoy driving even more on a daily basis. The ECU had to be sent directly to APR for the upgrade so while the car was here waiting for the return of it’s new brain we decided to tackle the other performance upgrades.

APR is pleased to present the ultimate ECU Upgrade for the 2.0 TFSI Valve Lift engine. 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 drivability or reliability. Expect huge increases in low-end torque, improved throttle response and a smoother, more powerful top end.

The APR 2.0 TFSI Valve Lift ECU Upgrade is an expertly recalibrated engine control strategy that remaps the boost pressure, timing and air fuel ratios 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 patented EMCS functionality puts the control of the engine’s operation at your finger tips and allows for additional features and options to be installed to your OEM ECU.

Stage I ECU Upgrade

Not only does our Stage I ECU Upgrade give you higher peak numbers of 234 horsepower and 333lb-ft. of torque, but also gains of up to 40 horsepower and 71lb-ft are available throughout the power band! APR’s ECU Upgrade is the best power per dollar modification for the new 2.0 TFSI Valve Lift 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…

Stage I Dyno Performance

We got the call from Adrian around 7pm Thursday evening. He mentioned he would be finishing up a military training session at 2am in LA that next morning, then arriving in Seattle early Friday. He asked what we might be able to do for his recently purchased Mk4 GTI. As it turned out, we had plenty readily available for him to get a good jump-start on his modding bug.Adrian ended up spending a big portion of his day with Achtuning as he asked us to transform his VW Mk4 GTI into an even better performing European hot hatch, courtesy of a Stasis Streetsport Coil-Over Kit and APR ECU Upgrade.

To Adrian’s surprise, we found that the GTI he picked up used had already been equipped with APR software, just locked out. We glady unlocked his software for him which opened up the budget for more performance parts. As it turned out, the brakes were also in need of attention and since we had a couple of StopTech’s 328x28mm Big Brake Kits on the shelf, he decided to go for it!

Adrian will have a chance to test out StopTech’s claims of having the best over-all braking distance improvement without the worry of over-working the master cylinder as brake bias is kept balanced with the appropriately sized brake pistons for the Mk4. Having larger, cleaner, and bright red calipers to show off that stopping power is just icing on the cake!
