Say Hello to the APR TT RS

[Arin@APR]

I still can't get over how beautiful the TT RS is in real life. Everything about it screams amazing. The engine is no slouch either. Stock, it throws you back in your seat. With only our ECU upgrade, it brutally rips you back into your seat. Still, the pursuit for more power never ends and the 2.5 TFSI is the perfect platform for more. This vehicle has quickly moved to the top of my favorites list and when we're finished, everyone will want this engine.

We took possession of the car on Saturday the 10th. The car was ordered in Suzuka Grey with all available options.

We began product work on the 2.5T last year and released software for the Rest of World (ROW) markets in October. We have already began to verify the software for US launch and expect this to happen soon.

This car is going to be part of a very special project that we are calling "Project Reunion". I cannot go into much detail yet but it will be a project that ties the 5cyl Turbo cars of yesteryear with todays modern 2.5 T 5 Cyl. We have been working on this project already for 8 months and cannot wait until the unveiling of both cars. I expect this to be sometime first of the year.

Needless to say it's a fantastic platform mated to a very proper engine. We already have fallen in love with it.

APR will be developing a full engine packages including our famous Stg 3 system. This includes intake, exhaust, software and Stg 3!

Stay tuned and as always... Go APR!

Stay tuned for the exciting updates along the way.

Awesome car, Audi is stepping up big time.

[Sour]

Such an awesome car, lets so what you can do APR!

[LORDOFTHERINGS]

Looking forward to the results Arin. No doubt in my mind it's going to be badass !!

[awhk82]

Any hint on what will be coming? Intake? Exhaust?

Edit: sorry, I missed the STG 3 part. Anyway, can't wait to see those parts become available.

[Staz]

hello apr tt rs !!

[Quattroownsyou]

This engine has allegedly squeezed out 600whp....is there any truth to this?

[Anthony]

Great choice in car, and color.

Cannot wait to see what you guys do with it.

I also cannot wait to finally get behind the wheel of one next week!

At this point, the information we've leaked is all we can share right now.

[Excelerate]

This car has had me thinking about trading in the Cayman S.

[Skyler@Achtuning]

I'm drooling over the TTRS but if the other car you guys are building is what I think it is, that is my dreamcar :)

[antisparkplug]

drool.. looking forward to moar info

[audiman1]

Stephen, congrats and it's great choice of color. You already know what I think about the performance. Hope all those electrons I donated were useful. APR is certainly on top of its game.

[MrClean]

Arin, congratulations to APR on the TT RS aquisition. :)

I almost bought the identical car, but ended up buying the Phantom Black.

[Arin@APR]

Just saw a Phantom Black one the other day. Beautiful! Congrats on the purchase. :)

Thinking of trading my 08 rs4 cab for one...

So we've given a little preview of our development progress thus far. We have a lot of power left on the table, and as more of our production hardware and software becomes ready, we'll keep bumping up the power and torque.

On our TTRS beta car, we're running a beta APR stage 3 turbocharger system. Essentially at this stage we have the cast turbo inlet, turbocharger, inconel turbo manifold, turbo hotside down turn, turbo compressor outlet hose, beta coolant and oil lines, a beta downpipe which will be heavily modified for efficiency in the future, and no production heat shields.

We used the stock intake, stock intercooler, stock internals, stock clutch, stock head, stock cams, stock fuel pump and stock injectors. We were able to crank out 517 whp and 500 wtq (ft-lbs) on this setup, and it's spooling very quickly already. To give an idea of spool, we're past 300 wtq by 3000 rpm's and 400 wtq by 3200 RPM's. Torque just keeps climbing and we've already pushed 550 wtq out of the setup but did not have time to gather all of the data before the conference. Essentially, with all of these stock restrictive and limiting components, the system is spooling quickly and making gobs of power already with more room to go once more parts are installed.

The great Audi engines are back and we're loving every moment of it!

Any news on the status of the tune for production cars?

Yes, dealers are getting the first part of the tools today, and the connector for the TTRS is being rolled out as soon as we finish production.

[TTRS]

Great!
I'm on your waiting list and have been awaiting the release of the tuning. Since I'm in SoCal and am limited to 91 Octane fuel, what are you seeing for HP/Tq?

[Arin@APR]

I currently do not have 91 octane figures. As more info and testing comes out, I'll fill everyone in!

Do it

[Arin@APR]

[Kai@EliteMS]

This is going to be a very awesome project once 100% complete and development is over. Saw everything first hand at the APR dealer conference this weekend and all I can say is we are all in for a treat and there is plenty of power to made! This is just the beginning. That's all for now :)

[Shnab]

Its about time we got a proper 600hp car in the audi family again.

Dude, there is no such thing as a "proper" 600hp car!

[Arin@APR]

The ECU upgrade was just released. Enjoy!

Sat in one at Audi USA HQS this afternoon. It has risen rather rapidly to the top of my list of potential replacements for my B8 S4 when it hits 50k. Priced mine out and it's sitting at $63k msrp, which is not bad, all things considered. Agree with the OP - beautiful car in person.

[Arin@APR]

Here are more development prototype pieces which are being sent out to another one of our development vehicles. We'll have test vehicles on several different continents all at once to ensure this kit and software is ready for left/right hand drive vehicles, high/low altitude, hot/cold weather, humid/dry weather, and the abuse of a few of the more crazy drivers out there. : )

APR T3 Investment Cast Inconel Exhaust Manifold.

The runner lengths were adjusted properly so each incoming pulse arrives at the turbocharger collector without colliding into each other. This promotes turbocharger spool just like people see with weaker and louder tubular manifolds.







APR Cast Turbo Inlet Pipe. This cast piece will bolt up to the OEM intake location allowing any intake on the market to connect at the same location. It also reuses all the OEM connection points for PCV evap and vacuum. The piece bolted to the turbo and uses a gasket for a clean and easy leak free install.







APR Investment Cast Turbo Downturn with divorced wastegate routing, internal exhaust gas scavenging promoters and v-band downpipe connection flange.







Garrett GTX Ball Bearing T3 Turbocharger with integrated divorced wastegate housing, billet compressor wheel and anti surge compressor housing. We are in the process of testing small to large GTX T3 frame turbochargers. This particular unit is a GTX3071 and we have GTX3076 and GTX35 turbos as well.









APR Prototype Turbocharger System. Shown here are ONLY a few of the cast parts. Our turbocharger systems include all software, fueling, gaskets, oil/coolant lines, heat shields, nuts, bolts, oil and coolant you need to install the kit and go.



We'll give more updates as we have them!

[Cingulus]

This is awsome. I can't wait to see the numbers :)

I don't wanna get rid of my S4 to get a TTRS, I want to have both. Curious to see how the mk3 will look like.

very hot car!

My ECU was just returned from APR with a Stage 1 91 octane tune.
It was sweet before the tune, it's crazy awesome post-tune!

Arin, you should give him a commision to provide rides to prospects in Socal.

Arin,
I sent you a PM prior to this post as well. I'd consider Shaun's proposal.

When you get multiple programs going, how much evidence of a tune is left when switching to stock. Curious for warranty purposes.,
