With up to 735 HP and 814 FT-LBS of torque, this upgrade transforms your car into a performance powerhouse, delivering exhilarating power and unmatched driving excitement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower. Precision. Protection.\u003cbr\u003eOur new ECU software is the result of months of meticulous engineering and real-world testing, far surpassing the typical aftermarket solution. By equipping our development vehicles with high-speed data loggers, turbo shaft speed sensors, thermocouples, and other precision instruments, we fine-tuned hundreds of parameters and corrected countless protection models across multiple octanes to achieve flawless performance, enhanced safety, and unmatched reliability. We're so confident in its reliability that we even offer an optional factory term-limit matching limited powertrain warranty with APR Plus!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does that mean for you?\u003cbr\u003eIt means blistering acceleration with gains of up to +281 AWHP and +347 AWFT-LBS over stock with just ECU and PDK tuning alone, delivering a rush of power that transforms your driving experience. We recorded 10.4@132.8mph sprints that will drop your stomach and pin your back to your seat like never before! You'll enjoy smooth, linear throttle response and a torque curve that feels endless, providing relentless pull across the rev range. Race-proven features like brake boosting and speed limiter removal unlock new levels of control-perfect for track days or spirited driving. All of this is backed by advanced safety routines that ensure your engine remains protected, even under the most demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance without compromise\u003cbr\u003eOur ECU upgrade includes advanced safety features that go above and beyond by correcting modeled sensor data within the ECU and enabling and calibrating new protection routines. We've optimized turbocharger protection by monitoring shaft speed and respecting overspinning limits, excessive exhaust backpressure, and unstable pressure ratios. Low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) protection prevents engine damage in high gears. Thermal management actively reduces power to prevent overheating of critical components, lowers cooling setpoints in sport mode, and reduces power until your oil reaches the proper temperature. Fuel system optimization ensures safe, reliable operation within critical fueling limits. Additionally, drivetrain shock protection optimizes torque delivery to reduce stress on critical components. Furthermore higher torque output software for use with our PDK transmission software where fueling and safety headroom permitted an increase. The result? Massive power gains with the confidence that your engine and drivetrain are protected for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnhanced Driving Experience\u003cbr\u003eWe didn't stop at raw power-APR's ECU upgrade enhances every aspect of your driving experience. To truly experience the sound of this engine, we've increased the standing RPM limiter when combined with our PDK tune, allowing higher revving in neutral and park while enabling the exhaust crackle in this mode. Optionally, you can enable even louder exhaust sounds with more aggressive burbles, pops, and bangs in all scenarios-or keep it stock for a more refined experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, we've added left-foot braking and brake boosting for greater control on and off the track, while the speed limiter removal unleashes your car's full top-speed potential. The Auto Start\/Stop memory ensures your preferred setting is always ready, putting you in control every time you start the car, and it disables automatically in sport mode. Finally, we've removed the cap on the boost gauges so you can see the full range present at higher power levels for those who modified their dash with the factory tools to ready higher!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: APR PDK Software is highly recommended.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"productpage_list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Gains: Up to 735 HP \/ 759-814 FT-LBS (+281 AWHP and +290-347 AWFT-LBS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 5 Fuel Grade Tunes: 91 AKI (95 RON), 93 AKI (98 RON), 100 AKI (104 RON), 104 AKI (108 RON), and E60-E85 (no hardware required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPR Plus: 91 AKI upgrade with an optional factory-matching limited powertrain warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced Features: Optional louder exhaust crackle, increased standing RPM limiter (with TCU) with exhaust crackle enabled, speed limiter removal, Auto Start\/Stop memory, left-foot brake boosting, linear throttle mapping, and uncapped boost gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced Safety Protection Routines: LSPI\/knock protection, thermal management, turbo\/pressure quotients, torque\/driveline shock protection, and fuel system protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo ECU Removal: Our software installs directly to your factory ECU through the OBDII port, can be easily removed to return to the stock tune, and resets the flash counter for unlimited flashes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime Updates: Continuous improvements and support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Bolt-On Mods: Adding most hardware upgrades increases power without requiring a reflash or additional stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional APR PDK TCU Upgrade unlocks even more torque on 93 AKI (98 RON), 100 AKI (104 RON), 104 AKI (108 RON) fuel grades!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-widget-oem-turbo-software-stage-1\" class=\"tab-widget-panel ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\" aria-labelledby=\"ui-id-4\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"widget html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"widget-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe APR Stage 1 ECU upgrade works with the factory turbocharger, producing up to 735 HP \/ 759-814 (+281 AWHP and +290-347 AWFT-LBS) over stock.
