B7 Audi A4 Stage 3 Turbo Upgrade by APR

Written by Dion on December 15, 2008 – 3:05 pm -

APR has announced availability of select B7 Audi A4 Stage 3 Turbo Kits for the 2.0T FSI, model years 2005.5-2006 US Specification Only!



Dyno graphs provided by APR were generated in-house or at an independent testing facility. The Engine Power numbers are derived from multiple runs on their in-house Dynapack All-Wheel Drive Dynamometer averaged to mean values to include the highest and lowest power achievement.

The following two graphs were generated on a Dynojet All Wheel Drive Dynamometer at an independent tuner shop for actual wheel power.

APR’s Stage 3 produces 375hp and 352 lb ft of torque at 20psi of turbocharger pressure. All oem safety features are left intact and all oem or teir 1 supplier stress tolerances are met or exceeded. Each component included in the APR Stage 3 is designed for the rated operating conditions produced by the Stage 3 and will provide many of years of reliable operation and enjoyment.

APR’s Stage 3 Turbocharger System includes every nut, bolt and gasket necessary to the installation. Boost delivery and intake piping and hoses are cast aluminum or wire reinforced multi-ply silicon designed specifically to the application.

APR Stage 3: $5799
APR Stage 3: $6399 (with required high pressure fuel pump)

  • APR recommends a front mounted intercooler, performance exhaust system and Carbonio Carbon Fiber Airbox for best results.
  • Each Stage 3 will include a new plate for Carbonio’s Carbon Fiber Airbox for fitment of the Stage 3 MAF housing and may not mate to the oem airbox or other aftermarket intake systems.
  • APR recommends an upgraded clutch for manual transmission vehicles and makes no claims to the durability of CVT and Tiptronic transmissions when used in conjunction with the Stage 3. APR’s Stage 3 exceeds the OEM ratings for power handling capabilities and it is at the purchasers beware to choose to install an APR Stage 3 on a vehicle which is not equipped with an upgraded transmission.
  • APR is currently developing a front mounted intercooler solution to offer as a standalone product and to complement the Stage 3. Projected release is February of 2009. Any aftermarket intercooler currently offered seems of sufficient capability to work in conjunction with the Stage 3 and if the intercooler fits with a stock turbocharger compressor exit hose it will work with the Stage 3. If the competitor’s intercooler replaces the oem turbocharger compressor exit hose, fitment may or may not be possible.
  • The Stage 3 is offered with or without a high pressure fuel pump but is required for operation. Some clients may have previously purchased the pump as a standalone product thus the pricing offer without the pump.
  • The ecu upgrade is accomplished and available for all 2005.5-2006 model year US Specification B7 A4 2.0T FSI’s. 2007+ model year B7 A4’s will be accomplished in the next 3-6 weeks. European Spec availability will occur in first or second quarter of 2009.
  • The Stage 3 is not equipped with a catalyst and includes a testpipe to connect to any exhaust system that is 2.5” in diameter and mates to the oem catalyst pipe.
