Audi RS4 Stage III Supercharger System

Written by Dion on September 15, 2010 – 2:33 pm -

It’s here!!  APR’s Engineering Teams are proud to introduce their first iteration of the Audi 4.2l V8 FSI supercharger application. Producing over 570hp and 510 ft-lbs of torque, APR’s RS4 Stage III propels one of Audi’s most prestigious performance vehicles 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 drive-ability while producing incredible performance results. Within APR’s Stage III kit, 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.

Not only will RS4s equipped with APR’s Stage III produce blistering increases in wide open throttle acceleration, daily driving is greatly improved with increased torque and horsepower available in even the lowest RPM’s of the power band. Less downshifting for passing and greater rates of acceleration at all points result in a driving characteristic of pure enjoyment in all situations. Both Drag Racing and Road Racing demands are taken into consideration during the design and calibration process in order to provide a well rounded solution for all enthusiasts.

Power:  91 Octane (R+M)/2 Dyno


Power:  93 Octane (R+M)/2 Dyno


Power:  100 Octane (R+M)/2 Dyno


APR’s Calibration Team has spent countless hours in a wide range of environmental conditions to develop an ecu calibration that utilizes APR’s Stage III hardware in a safe and powerful manner. Hot weather, cold weather and everything in between has been considered with multiple prototypes operating in extreme conditions for long periods of time prior to the Stage III release.

APR’s patented EMCS solution allows Stage III owner’s to use their factory cruise control to select the best calibration for their current driving situation. Two different pump gas calibrations and a race gas calibration allow the end user to select different power levels for different uses and enjoyment at the end user’s determination.

APR’s Calibration Team has also developed calibrations specific to the fuel qualities in all areas of the world. Prototyping, testing, development and production is a worldwide exercise with APR partners all over the globe. Expect similar performance, reliability and drive-ability whether you reside in or travel to North America, Europe, Asia or South America, Africa and Oceania. APR’s Calibration Team has developed specific calibrations for your climate.

Featuring APR’s Patented EMCS program switching functionality and DirectPort Programming, APR’s Engine Management Calibration for this conversion package allows for a range of Octane and situation specific calibrations to be installed simultaneously on your vehicle’s ECU. These programs and features are able to be cycled through via your existing factory cruise control and activated in less than 20 seconds. You will be able to choose 1 to 4 Programs listed below. You will also be able to add APR Security Lockout, APR Fault Code Erase and APR Anti-Theft features.

APR Trip Recap: Part 2

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

  1. 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!
