APR's development on the 2.5 TFSI EVO continues with yet another set of records for the platform. On May 1st 2018, Keith Brantley piloted his APR Tuned RS3 into the 9's, a first for the platform, and backed up his record with eight 9-second passes! In doing so he set several records for the platform, including the following:

Keith's 9-second passes were as follows, including conditions, at Montgomery Motorsport Park in Montgomery, Alabama:

9.96@141.64 - 2,175 FT Density Altitude (86.7F, 29%, 29.87 In.Hg.) 9.97@141.86 - 2,187 FT Density Altitude (86.1F, 31%, 29.87 In.Hg.) 9.96@141.53 - 2,197 FT Density Altitude (86.0F, 32%, 29.87 In.Hg.) 9.86@142.20 - 1,924 FT Density Altitude (81.4F, 40%, 29.86 In.Hg.) 9.91@142.47 - 1,930 FT Density Altitude (80.3F, 47%, 29.87 In.Hg.) 9.89@000.00 - 1,571 FT Density Altitude (74.6F, 61%, 29.87 In.Hg.) 9.83@144.39 - 1,382 FT Density Altitude (71.3F, 69%, 29.88 In.Hg.) 9.90@144.41 - 1,341 FT Density Altitude (70.8F, 69%, 29.88 In.Hg.)

We're excited to announce our Engine Control Unit (ECU) Upgrades are now available for the Porsche Cayenne S and S Coupe (9Y) 2.9 TFSI engine with the Bosch MG1 ECU! Expect massive gains with up to 484-538 HP and 521-590 FT-LBS of torque on tap, depending on octane, from this simple software upgrade.

APR's ECU Upgrades are the best dollar-per-horsepower modification one can make to improve engine performance. The upgrades dramatically increase horsepower and torque, making for an exceptionally quicker and more exciting vehicle. This is made possible through APR's optimization of the factory engine management system to take full advantage of the engine's capabilities, without needing any end user adjustment. The ECU Upgrades are available with various features and supported octane levels and each stage is compatible with most typical bolt-on modifications. The software is installed to the vehicle's factory ECU through the OBD-II port once the ECU is unlocked, resulting in a clean and headache-free install.

We're excited to announce our Engine Control Unit (ECU) Upgrades are now available for the Audi SQ7 and SQ8 4.0 TFSI V8 engine with the Bosch MG1 ECU! Expect massive gains with up to 685-767 HP and 731-804 FT-LBS of torque on tap, depending on octane, from this simple software upgrade.

Our new suite of MG1 ECU software comes after months of extensive research and development that is typically absent from the aftermarket. Our upgrade makes the engine more powerful and more exciting. We’ve extensively calibrated the system to work flawlessly on the track, while retaining safety routines to protect your engine in the most demanding scenarios. This was all made possible by our engineering team's pursuit of perfection. Development vehicles were outfitted with additional sensors, including turbo shaft speed sensors, thermocouples, transducers, and more, along with our high speed direct RAM logging equipment, to feed valuable data to the team for analysis. After thousands of hours of testing and tuning we created new calibrations that are fine tuned for several octanes and contain hundreds of map changes, with a vast array of safety features built in.
