APR Plus ECU Upgrade - 2.0T EA888 Gen 4 (MQB EVO) (MK8 Golf R / S3 8Y)

The APR Stage 1 and Stage 2 ECU upgrades are designed for use on the factory turbocharger. The ECU alone with no hardware mods produces 398-442 HP and 385-430 FT-LBS with +64-112 WHP and +76-118 WFT-LBS over stock, depending on fuel grade. By adding hardware such as our intake and intercooler, the tune automatically jumps to Stage 2 power levels and produces 410-455 HP and 389-436 FT-LBS with +74-123 WHP and +80-125 WFT-LBS over stock, depending on fuel grade. Adding more mods will increase power further.

For manual transmission vehicles, this file helps alleviate stress on the factory clutch. Upgrade the clutch to run the high torque file.

On DSG/S-Tronic transmission vehicles, running this file is necessary to prevent slip. Run APR's TCU upgrade to remove torque caps and to prevent slip.

APR Plus adds a limited powertrain warranty to this stage. It's available for 91 AKI fuel grade in the USA and requires the use of original factory or APR approved hardware only.

When selecting a fuel grade, a minimum of that fuel grade must be used. Using higher fuel grades is permissible.
