The APR Stage 3+ ECU Upgrade for the MK8 Volkswagen Golf R and Audi S3 unlocks the full potential of the APR PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System and APR Multi-Port Injection (MPI) Fueling System. Developed specifically for the EA888 Gen 4 engine and Simos 19 engine control unit, APR's Stage 3+ calibration delivers substantially increased power and torque while maintaining the drivability, refinement, diagnostics, and safety systems expected from a factory-engineered vehicle.
Unlike conventional aftermarket fueling solutions that rely on standalone controllers or supplemental engine management systems, APR's Stage 3+ calibration directly integrates turbocharger control, fuel delivery, torque management, and multi-port injection operation through the factory ECU. The result is a seamless driving experience with exceptional power delivery, OEM-like operation, and repeatable real-world performance.
APR engineers spent thousands of development and validation miles refining boost control, fuel pressure management, ignition calibration, torque modeling, and driveline integration to create a complete Stage 3+ solution. The software works in conjunction with the APR PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System and APR MPI Fueling System to deliver true Stage 3+ performance capability while retaining the factory ECU architecture and comprehensive safety strategies.
Dyno-validated wheel output confirms real-world gains across every supported fuel from 451 WHP on 91 Octane up to 527 WHP on E85, with 473 WHP on 93 Octane, 491 WHP on 100 Octane, and 503 WHP on 104 Octane, delivering up to +212 AWHP over a stock 2022 US Golf R baseline.

This part is legal under the provisions of EPA’s Tampering Policy dated November 23rd, 2020. The company has reasonable basis (test results) to verify that this product allows the vehicle to operate within legal emissions standards and is therefore legal to be sold for on-street use in all states that accept the legal provisions of the Clean Air Act and the EPA Tampering Policy. This product is NOT LEGAL FOR SALE OR USE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. Testing with the California Air Resources Board, in order to achieve 50-state compliance, is pending with CARB. Once testing is complete with California, and an E.O. number is issued, this product will be updated to 50-state legal status.
Specific matching Stage 3+ software is REQUIRED to use this system (ECU + TCU). Software is included for existing APR customers upgrading to APR Stage 3 ECU/TCU from lower stage (1/2). Please check software compatibility prior to purchase or installation.
To achieve the advertised power, an intake and intercooler are required (APR recommended). Factory 10,000 mile oil intervals are excessive. Cut oil intervals in half when upgrading to Stage 3 Turbo Systems..
To add an additional layer of protection, use a high performance oil matching the factory weight and minimum factory specs.
