APR’s Engineering Teams have finished final testing of a new ECU Calibration for the Stage I and Stage II+ ECU Upgrades. The results are an additional 20-30 Horsepower and ft-lbs of torque depending on operating conditions, and the addition of APR Motorsport features designed to enhance your driving experience.

Accompanying these updates, all ECU’s flashed with APR’s v2.0 software will be subject to subsequent updates via OBD-II port reflashes through APR’s world wide distribution network, ie us!

For several years, APR’s tested the 3.0 TFSI through brutal professional motorsport racing in the Grand-AM and World Challenge Road Racing Series. Automotive Engineering firms have continuously turned to endurance racing as proving grounds for new technologies and to measure the durability and viability of these new technologies in a rigorous total system accelerated life-testing environment found in very few alternatives. Through this testing and research APR’s Engineering Team is able to deliver a more powerful application of the Stage I and Stage II+ ECU Upgrade and do so knowing little to no loss of life will be suffered in the comparison to the Original Calibration and engine performance levels.

APR’s dynamic calibration changes allow the TVS1320 supercharger unit to operate to its full potential under many different ambient conditions. The resulting increase in intake mass airflow delivers more power though the entire rev range, no matter what APR Stage or APR Performance program you choose. Accordingly, adjustments were made to other areas of the ECU calibration to ensure proper operation as intended by the OEM.

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.

APR’s Motorsport Rev Limiter is also now available allowing 6MT customers to reach max RPM without the ECU slowing down acceleration nearly 400 RPM’s earlier. The result is more power to redline and a definable redline feeling as seen on Audi Quattro GMBH vehicles such as the B7 RS4 and R8 V8 & V10.

Version 2.0 software is now available and is a FREE upgrade for all existing APR Stage I and Stage II+ customers.

As a club sponsor, we’d like to help get the word out. This is something EVERYONE should do!!

For the novice driver and the experienced veteran this event will have something for everyone!

For our high performance drivers school we will put students (teens and adults) through a litany of exercises designed to help you become a better driver, more able to deal with extreme situations with ease, and more comfortable on your daily commute as well. Walking you through these exercises are Audi Club instructors who will make you feel at ease while learning things that one day might save your life. You will have hands on experience in your car and there will be multiple short discussion sessions where things learned on the course will be discussed in detail. Towards the end of the day students will be taken out to our low speed autocross course should they choose and get to drive a timed lap that will test what you learned all day in real time with only time consequences when you make a mistake. See the more detailed description of this event and register atwww.audiclubnw.motorsportreg.com. You must pre-register to attend this event.

For our more experienced drivers we will have a full, very large autocross utilizing portions of the Monroe Speedway racetrack. This will be a very unique autocross with the camber of the track being used for the additional challenge that creates. The huge figure 8 oval will be used for the majority of the course. We are limiting registrations to 30 cars so there will be plenty of runs. Bring plenty of gas. In the afternoon there will be at least four high end instructor sessions where lines at Pacific Raceways and Portland International raceway will be discussed as well as some technical sessions where car alignment, tire pressures, and other car related things will be discussed. All included in the basic entry fee. See more information about this and register at www.audiclubnw.motorsportreg.com

For those who just want to partake in the afternoon technical sessions there is also an opportunity to just sign up for those. Audi Club North America membership is required for entry into these sessions and you must register on the www.audiclubnw.motorsportreg.com website. Members get into these talks for FREE.

Audi’s are not required for this or any portion of University of Quattro so feel free to invite friends and co-workers to this event. ACNA membership is not required for either the Drivers Education (exercises or autocross) or the full autocross.
