Achtuning is pleased to announce APR’s release of the ultimate ECU Upgrade for the Audi TT RS and RS3 2.5 TFSI. 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 drive-ability or reliability. Expect tremendous increases in power and torque across the entire power band, improved throttle response and a smoother, more powerful top end.

The 2.5 TFSI’s engine management presented new challenges to the Engineering Teams at APR in the form of new control strategies for torque management. Significant time was spent researching these new strategies to properly request more load and therefore more boost in the lower end of the power band. The results were simple, a torque curve that crushes the competition and delivers a rush of power like no other in the industry.

The Audi 2.5 TFSI ECU Upgrade is an expertly recalibrated engine control strategy that remaps boost, timing, air fuel ratios and other engine management paramaters 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 Motorsport Left Foot Braking feature is now available allowing customers more control over their vehicle’s throttle. Under normal operation, throttle input is disabled while pressing the accelerator and brake at the same time, however this may be undesirable for those looking to get the most out of their vehicles performance on the track. Enabling the left foot braking feature, the driver will have complete control over the vehicle’s throttle and braking system, which may give the edge he or she needs at the track.

Stage I ECU Upgrade

Not only does the APR Stage I ECU Upgrade give you higher peak numbers of 414 horsepower and 430 ft-lbs of torque, but also gains of up to 73 horsepower and 79 lb-ft are available at lower RPMs! APR’s ECU Upgrade is the best power per dollar modification for the new 2.5 TFSI and gives it just the extra edge these cars lack from the factory without pushing the limits. With factory like smoothness and drive-ability APR’s ECU Upgrade will fill the void in an otherwise excellent car.

Weston from Car Domain came by to get his Rieger’d out Mk5 GTI tuned with APR software.

Stock, 91-octane, and 93-octane programs were loaded to the ECU. The 91-octane program for the Mk5 GTI produces an APR-claimed 246 crank hp and 282 lb./ft. of torque… 252 and 303 respectively on 93-octane which Weston can expect to try out in the event he cruises up north into Canada where 94-octane is more commonly found. Expect a feature on Car Domain blog about their Mk5 GTI project build-up!
