apr Stage 3 Kit for S3/TT Ready!!

Post by Msportman » Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:30 pm

Finally APR has finalised the kit with the help of APR Australia for RHD drive cars.

1st kits will be sold byAwesome GTI store. I believe Jim Cotton will be fitting a kit to his TT demo car.

Apparently they have easily achieved 400hp in Australia with this kit that adapts better than the kit in the US. I t still utilises APR GT28RS turbo and is supposedly super smooth.
They have also managed to achieve ealier spoil up than US kit.

Should be a very nice ***RELIABLE*** package with backup.

Sounds interesting, how much is that?

Is that the same blower than MRC use for 340-350 bhp?

Don't know Dave what MRC use....APR have their own spec and unique manifold. Apparently the way the pipework is configured makes for better response on spoil up on UK spec right hand drive.

Prices TBA I expect in the region of 3K-4K fitted....yet to be confirmed.

Sounds like a good prospect for TT/S3 owners with 4WD.

APR seemingly have a very high reputation in the US and worlwide...their products all seem to come with every bolt washer and have comprehensive instructions.

MRC

IIRC, its more than your estimated £4k ............... and is the same blower, not sure about the other parts, ie manifold and pipes.

From the Awesome GTi website, this is a stage III for an A4 1.8T, quoting £3495.......

As I said prices yet to be announced Dave

Should be interesting to see the finnished article....this kit has been sold for some years in the States and has proven reliability according to customers and folks on Vortex.
350-400 in S3 package will be tempting.
