APR Stage III for the B8 / B8.5? We said it would never happen, but....

[Arin@APR]

We strapped on an EFR, made some awesome results, and decided to work on an APR Stage III EFR Turbocharger system.



Sorry for the crude photo, this is just the original prototype before production hardware is finished.

So far we are several months in and the results are looking great! I'm sure you want to know power figures, turbo size, price, release date, other mods necessary, will it fit on this or that, etc, but this is all I can share at the moment.

[garybusey]

My car got totaled a month ago, this is how I feel.

[poweredbyaudi7]

Love this!!! Only deployed for 2 months....10 to go. Makes the wait not too bad!

[vinnys3]

How promising is this for tiptronic 6spd? Dont wanna sell the k04 for nothing

what kind of power are we talking about

[Lambda13]

Will I have to get a bank loan to afford it? lol

[Townending]

Oh yeah, just what I was hoping for, a larger turbo kit paired with a tune. I don't want to mess with the eurodyne suite.

[Arin@APR]

How promising is this for tiptronic 6spd?

My guess (Key word, guess):

Transmission:
6MT - Works. Budget for a clutch.
Old tip - we'll have to try it. Not really sure.
New tip (ZF8) - high confidence.
CVT - No way (FWD only models)
DSG - High confidence (only on ROW models).

Drivetrain:
AWD - Yes
FWD - No

Drive:
RHD - Not sure
LHD - Yes

Vehicles:
B8 A4 - Yes
B8 A5 - Assume yes
B8.5 A4 - Yes
B8.5 A5 - Assume yes
Q5 - Don't know yet but hope so
Seat Exeo - Not sure
C7 A6 - Probably not
C7.5 A6 - Probably not

Engines:
1.8 TFSI Ea888 Gen 1 - Probably not
1.8 TFSI Ea888 Gen 3 - No
2.0 TFSI Ea888 Gen 2 - Yes
2.0 TFSI Ea888 Gen 2 Flex - Yes
2.0 TFSI Ea888 Gen 3 - No

Market:
North America - Yes
ROW - Probably

Not ready to quote figures yet.

Not ready to quote figure yet, but expecting decent pricing.

Drops the mic and walks out....

Hp numbers tq numbers and actual time slips required for this potential investment..
What are chances that lower hp and tq cars especially stg 2 or stg 2 e85 or 100oct. cars may run quicker then this upgraded turbo car.... Remember there is money to be made from selling hardware then just software.....

[ParadigmTony]

Oh come on take my CC already. Better yet, Ill just list you as additional card holder. K Thanks..

[kmunz264]

Keeping fingers crossed for old tip

will apr be making an e85 setting for this?

One of the design criteria is increased power and thus faster / quicker acceleration.

[Arin@APR]

We're looking at 91, 93, 100, 104 and E85 at the moment.

[Shimmy]

excited for this one!

[Smellie]

What accounts for old tip?

[Arin@APR]

6 speed automatic.

[AUDIMAN33]

I just want to know how much HP, if its over 400 just give me a happy face or even if its close.

No Allroad love?

[englishbay]

Arin, wish you hadn't done this, the thread sounds like another S4 Supercharge thread that will go on for months and months (possibly years) with all the speculation, assumptions, crying and complaining. You must love the punishment.

I would rather you just release things without the teasers.

I'll start saving now.

If it is another thing like the S4 thread, I will make it my goal in life to get Arin from APR band from this forum....

[S-Liner]

I don't see pushing 400+, how the stock internals going to hold up?

maybe ill keep my a5 after all.

update rods and call it good.

thank god lmao

Allroad = A4. Sorry.

[Arin@APR]

It's quite different.

S4 thread = Me answering the question "Will APR ever work on a supercharger system for the S4" by showing renderings of a supercharger before Magnuson even built the first system.

A4 thread = Me showing a working turbo kit on a car, making good power, already to a point where parts are being pushed through production, etc.

fuck my warranty, I'm in when this is ready.

We Still want to see hard numbers and time slips.. In both sides of the country..... Actual test cars and how they'll hold up with engine internals.... Fastest recorded time in quarter is from Cory can in a b8 6 speed tip wagon with apr k04 kit.....and that was around 12.8... Hope to see an actual apr car post some actual dyno figures and time slips....

[Arin@APR]

We have to now run at the drag strip on both sides of the country? Man... Tough crowd!

Lol!.... You're marketing!!!.. I'm sure the new corporate owners can make things happen.... Let's see the potential of borg warner's new efr turbos.....

[dscline]

Kinda hard to tell from the pic, is that twin scroll, or single?

[AUDIMAN33]

Lol!.... You're marketing!!!.. I'm sure the new corporate owners can make things happen.... Let's see the potential of borg warner's new efr turbos.....

If its one thing APR sucks at its customer service...... Still may go with GIAC

[ND_audi]

If you could go ahead and discount the current "stage III" kit that has the K04 and sell it to me that would be great.

[hyperunion]

If its one thing APR sucks at its customer service...... Still may go with GIAC

I'm this close to that exactly..... Just want to see actual quarter mile times to see if this promised setup actually performs!

Arin
thanks for sharing. i was thinking of a turbo kit... was thinking K04 with my E85 B8.5 but this would work better. Lets hope it comes out soon.
Will we need stronger internals???

Also Does this mean no K04 kits for the B8.5? or will you have both kits..

[OzeyeruZ]

Just as I talked myself out of getting a Ko4 you go and pull this Arin... How the hell are we supposed to keep ourselves sane with this madness!. PM me for the access code to my bank account and lets get this over with!....$7-10k? Sure!!! Why not!! My kids dont need to go to college!!!
