APR B7 turbo kit... any news???

[positiv_rate]

Has anyone heard or read anything concerning the new B7 turbo kit APR was supposed to unveil at Waterfest ? I've been scanning AZ & Fourtitude, clicked the search button, looked on APR's website and I haven't seen any mention of it.

Hmmm...

[turbo4s]

yeah I remember seeing a white Ti B7 with a KO4 kit. It was also A Tiptronic which was interesting. Prob would run Consitant times down the track

[montess2001]

They told me that the big turbo kit has been tested and is ready to go on sale asap. I'm not sure why its not on the website, but I spoke to one of the techs and they told me to call them to work out a deal on the new BT kit.

APR guy at waterfest said it would be another 3-4 weeks

[Josh_877]

Oh God, not this cycle again. "2 weeks", "next fall", "next spring", etc. etc. etc.

ps. Icemole, you got anymore body pics of that ^^^ red b7?

[IceMole]

That was until you could buy it, not that it would take that long to finish. Just because it's done doesn't mean they are sitting in boxes to ship already.

[Sharkfin]

Yeah I'd like more pics if you have em, that doesn't look that much bigger from stock in the one pic

[rnp614]

Are the other turbo kits that are becoming available twin-scrolls?

[EuroA4]

I believe the other kits are using the Garrett GT2871R (AWE).

[rnp614]

so this apr kit should be less laggy...

[a4dc89]

I want the BT kit!

[thebikedoctor33]

idk if its just coming from the b5 and b6 world, but most people are not running a premade kits it seems on other platforms. i mean unitronic and other tuners have no problem making a custom tune for you. so instead of waiting for a kit to come out, put your own together.

???

[rnp614]

btw, what was the source of info about it being a twin-scroll?

EDIT: I'm extremely tempted now...theres an APR dealer within 100 miles now! One just opened up in Baton Rouge!! May have an upgrade summer of 09. ;)

[D-techniK]

Twin scroll is great technology. Would definately like to see this on a kit..

some B6s are running it, I dont think it makes that huge of a difference. No one around here really runs enough power to make it that worthwhile

[D-techniK]

any updates on this?

[Kuang87]

I had my shop call them, and they said they are working on intercooler issues or something. Everything else is good to go I guess but they are waiting to tune it when they figure out the intercooler issue. I was told it would be a month or so.

I def want the BT kit, but I am a little glad that both parties are being patient and doing plenty of testing.

last thing any of us would want is buy it and have a crap load of issues and not be happy with our purchase. :)

shit happens in the development world and sometimes better safe than sorry. haha

dyno #s will always help in the decision process. I expect them both to come out within like 2 weeks of each other probably starting like beginning of october......

[Six Speed Turbo]

So no updates, huh?

[AAAA]

don't forget VF Engineering is on the brink as well. From what I hear they are really taking their time and coming out with something very nice. I guess it takes a while to make a kit for this car complete if no tuner is done yet

Makes you wonder how stable/safe ANY of them will be...

[gpoole30]

yeah your right, i was also wondering how the tip can handle the power. one other question i have is what about the heat under the hood, cause the heat on the stock one is pretty warm

[rnp614]

Thats why some companies have HUGE intercoolers I think.

[pcdrj]

yeah your right, i was also wondering how the tip can handle the power. ...

I doubt they're testing/targeting the TIP.

[gpoole30]

I doubt they're testing/targeting the TIP.

they may want to target that group as more A4's are tip's. also as for most on my customers, they want power with ease, and they arent carving corners they only drive it hard once a month

[pcdrj]

Yeah I agree, but I'm not sure they would. I've spoken to AWE about their BT kit and they stated they might do a test mule after the system's been out for a while. My interpretation: fuhhgetaboutit

[Sanjman]

i don't think "true" enthusiasts drive TIP... hence me not being an enthusiast.

[Auditude2.0T]

is the awe and vf kit the same one?? im leaning towards vast bt kit right now.

[acidrome]

No, these kits will have (some) different components. Though they both use GIAC software, the tuning will be little different.

[Q-Ball]

Still waiting....

[Six Speed Turbo]

Me too !!

[rnp614]

[D-techniK]
