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. Furthermore, for those looking for tuning with a limited powertrain warranty, APR Plus has you covered!

    When you buy an APR Ultralink you use it to buy and install APR software on your vehicle, from the convenience of your own home, from the Ultralink Marketplace. Alternatively, you can always go to an APR dealer and they will sell and install software for you. Below is the retail price for most of our software. Any sales or promotions will not be reflected in these prices but will be in the Ultralink Marketplace. Learn more about the Ultralink here.

    Each stage includes several adjustments and features to make the driving experience more enjoyable. We’ve not only made the engine more powerful, but we’ve improved acceleration, removed the speed limiter, enabled left-foot braking or brake boosting, properly rescaled the boost gauge, increased the stationary rev limiter, optimized thermal management and protection, designed the software to support normal bolt on modifications while not requiring any for the baseline configuration, and eliminated the need for a TCU upgrade to deliver maximum torque while still accurately reporting torque to the ECU.


    Our ECU Upgrades are available in multiple configurations. Installation of additional performance hardware, such as an intercooler or intake systems, may provide further performance improvements.

    APR Stage 1

    The APR Stage 1 ECU Upgrade is the first step towards tuning your engine. It produces up to 488-550 HP and 537-606 FT-LBS of torque with gains as high as +75-129 HP and +89-168 FT-LBS of torque at the wheels.


    APR Stage 1 is available for 91 AKI, 93 AKI, 100 AKI, 104 AKI, and E60-E85 fuel grades in North America, and 95 RON, 98 RON, 104 RON, 108 RON, and E60-E85 in the Rest of the World.


    Please note, our E85 software is not a full flex fuel program. In this mode the engine is only designed to work on E85, as found directly at the pump, including both summer and winter blends from E60-E85. Using traditional pump fuels in this mode may result in engine damage. Do not manually blend with traditional pump fuel or race fuels or use race specific barrels of E85. To ensure proper E85 content levels, APR recommends using an E85 content sensor. Before using Ethanol, educate yourself and follow our switching guide.

    APR Plus

    APR Plus is our APR Stage 1 ECU Upgrade with our limited powertrain warranty and it’s the first step towards tuning your engine. It produces up to 488 HP and 537 FT-LBS of torque with gains as high as +75 HP and +89 FT-LBS of torque at the wheels. Please check our warranty manual to understand modifications supported by APR Plus.

    APR Stage 1 Plus

    The APR Stage 1+ ECU Upgrade is the next step towards tuning your engine. It produces up to 561 HP and 608 FT-LBS of torque with gains as high as +138 HP and +169 FT-LBS of torque at the wheels, on E60-E85. Use this tune with an APR HPFP fueling upgrade.


    APR Stage 1+ only makes more power on E60-E85 fuel over our stage 1 software. All other available octanes make the same power as Stage 1. APR Stage 1+ is available for 91 AKI, 93 AKI, 100 AKI, 104 AKI, and E60-E85 fuel grades in North America, and 95 RON, 98 RON, 104 RON, 108 RON, and E60-E85 in the Rest of the World.
