Audi R8s vs APR Stage III and APR ED30/S3 K04 Conversion Package

[housemusic01988]

mai 2012 i get my tt 3.2 8j back turboi tuned 480 ps gonna fuck you all ciaooo!!!! yeah im drunk waaas willst du tuuuuuuuuuunnn

[elmorropollo]

fuck!! te gti silver wooow!!

[ThaKillahB]

DSG = fail

[TheUnvaiable]

ahahah turn your car in a future broken supercar

[DGISID]

lool how can dsg handle so many power its not possible... if its stock it will ruin your cluch in one run...and how about the camshaft, and the piston rings and rods are they stock to? if they are i feel bad for the owners...

[APRVideos]

@DGISID Since 2007 we've offered stage 3 and K04 upgrades. I'm not aware of people with issues. 

[DGISID]

@APRVideos ok then explain to me how the DSG can handle so much "beating"... the new torque is too much to handle for the stock clutch...

of corse depending on the clutch, an if it is reinforced with Kevlar, for example and depending on the remap it will last a short or a long time

[DGISID]

@DGISID moving to the engine... ahhh if the camshaft isnt profiled than you are losing a big step in a preparation, if the rods are not forged i assure you the stock ones WILL BREAK ... Out of curiosity whats the stable pressure? How much does the peak?

sorry for the english im using google translator to help in some sentences...

[APRVideos]

@DGISID We suggest upgrading only the connecting rods when running our 100 octane race gas files. We have not seen issues with the factory connecting rods on our regular pump fuel files.

[APRVideos]

@DGISID The only reason the DSG can handle so much punishment is because it was greatly over-engineered with tremendous headroom.

[maqueavelico1]

@DGISID stock dsg handles 500+ hp no problem.stock pistons and rods handle 400 + no problem

[jamiebridges123]

@DGISID DSG can handle a lot more torque than a manual gearbox. No official figure but estimated around 450lb ft of capacity. BHP does not (I repeat NOT) kill clutches. Even a fully loaded Stg3 or St4 car would be struggling to consistently push this amount of torque. So it'd be fine:D

[ina04gli18t]

Hey bulgboom that gti can be putting down as much as 410hp do your research.

[TheGorillaman67]

is the A3 FW drive or quattro all wheel drive?

[BhFanatik17]

Is that lil song at the end similiar to police academy? the movie? :D

[blackjesus963]

please just make a crazy kit for the few 3.2 owners to make us happy....

[s54bmw]

Do you have this kit for a 2012 VW CC?

[APRVideos]

@s54bmw We have both a TSI Stage 3 and K04 turbocharger system for the CC, however we do not have software ready yet for many of the 2012 VW CC ECU's. The new CC's have a new encryption type that we are working on cracking. Once the ECU is cracked, we'll have software available.

Stage 3 and K04 on the CC will make more power than the vehicle shown in the video above.

[s54bmw]

@APRVideos Awesome thanks. Do you know if the ECU Remapping will affect VW Service diagnostic equipment? I was talking to VW about it, and they were saying some ECU remaps have crashed their systems in the past

[APRVideos]

@s54bmw Our ECU software does not alter or crash any factory scan tools.

[s54bmw]

@APRVideos Thanks for the info. Please let me know when you have cracked the ECU and have the software ready!!! Thanks

[s54bmw]

@APRVideos Awesome. Well, how about extra wear on ball bearings, CV joints, etc. It's twice the power, what do you recommend for that?

[Semir1992]

audi r8 4.2 or 5.0 ?

[AJAY606]

A TEAM FTW!

[Femicide09]

Perfect music.

[vendedordepao]

Why de R8 start's always in front ? -.-'

[blerton14]

hey isn't that car for sale????

[derQUIKI]

nice a3!! have the same one, same colour but the 3,2 version ^^

[tyman711]

I'm impressed.

[diego571]

R8= slowest supercar?

[Nightakula]

2.0T FTW!! And love the music at the end.

[thatsright11teen]

war eagle

[snobored09]

Ok. So if you are running the full stage III kit on both GTI's, you should be putting down around 370-380 hp. You didn't mention whether or not you have upgraded any of the drivetrain components such as transmission or cv shafts. Is this something you guys have done, or are the stock components strong enough to handle an about 75% increase in power?

[APRVideos]

@snobored09 Grey GTI has an upgrade clutch. Yellow A3 is stock.

[THATxKIDxRAPS]

i love it when a plan comes together.

[CrisyFallows]

I actually like the grey golf

[munkeeboi83]

I love the sound track. You guys sure do you have a lot of nice open roads down in the Deep South to do that kind of stuff. =)

[caseyryeback1913]

Where is the audi R8? I assume it can only have been the camera car but the ride height seemed very high for an R8.

[boardsnow6]

Is the audi v8 or 10?

[Joe619mw]

@boardsnow6 are you retarded? it`s the V8 idiot!

[c3lt1cs5]

what in the hell happened to the gti's lip?

[APRVideos]

@c3lt1cs5 Hit a truck tire a few days earlier and was waiting for new parts to come in.

[c3lt1cs5]

@APRVideos ahhhh gotcha, still cool

[danny306gti]

Very nice. Now put one of the golfs up against a 306 gti-6 stage 2 supercharged and see how it does!!! Lol.

[lemonchewy1]

those graphics should be on a beat up old civic

[mandaley64]

were all the vws just front wheel drive?

[gtiw7]

I want a sticker for my gti same as the one on the red gti behind the front wheel.

I need it badly, how much please ??

[escalade2346]

hey APR can this kit be used on the a3 quattro version dsg?

[APRVideos]

@escalade2346 you'll need a different kit than what's above. Also, you'll need custom oil/coolant lines and the divorced downpipe.

[gjb1224]

thats one fast GTI

[HinProductions]

I never knew there were highway signs one closed courses.

[arinahnell]

@HinProductions Ever see a car ad? Those are shot on the street. The roads are closed for production. This is what you call a "closed course".

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

the joy of turbochargers :) you can take your eco luxury box and put a big turbo in it and be faster than a supercar

[lardauk]

If Germans from VW/AUDI see what you done with their engine, they will kill you ;)

[lardauk]

That gray GTI is sex!

what about the GTI APR vs S3 APR?

[bellini1992]

unfucking believable!!

[NoChanceProductions]

ya merikke the yellow A3

[FlameThrash900]

lol Audi R8 Vs a VW golf gti * cries* why do two of my favourite cars need to have a face off :(

[redCode526]

@FlameThrash900 lol, u r cute~

[yourfast06]

fuck i want s3 ko4 now

[burntsouljah]

that s3 is soo hot omg i want one!

[ikilledelmo315]

 want that grey gti sooo bad lol

[Streeeeeeet]

damn automatics

[Serjoize]

music A-Team)

[DawgPoundBrutus]

never been a fan of the 4.2L V8. Sounds good but thats it. I a 2.7T S4 with GT25s. An R8 would have no chance.

[skyline7349]

why is the audi a3 seem faster? lol also is the R8 the v8 or v10?

[olegdcru]

@skyline7349 of course it's v8 for keep up with v10 you need at list gt30 even bigger turbo .

[Deadpool000]

what is the song clip played at the end from when formerly chris's gti was running?

[APRVideos]

@Deadpool000 A-Team remixed by Aphex Twin.

[08MS3uknw]

looks more like 280 than a closed course lol

[Lumixster]

GOLF power all the wayyyyyyy

[ahernandez4110]

The Audi wagon looks kick ass

[DizzlerDazzler]

finally the R8 looks better and has better sound !

[antixs092]

I ment RSI. I think I'm gonna buy this run down gti n see how long it can hold stage 3.

[antixs092]

@Xxkoadyxx, so that means 2000 mile oil changes n pure royal purple? I saw a Sri vw and was amazed at how fast they are

[antixs092]

I'm planning to get a gti. I wanted to know if a 07 gti with 112000 miles is a reliable car to get stage 2pr three on. Or should I just cough up the extra cash for a gti with less miles?

[APRVideos]

@antixs092 You'll want to make sure the car has been properly maintained. Check for all the weak spots such as the cam follower and cam lobe to be sure they are up to par. Also check with your local VW dealership to ensure all open recall campaigns are completed.

[xxkoadyxx]

@antixs092 2.0t FSi motors burn oil..lol.. i know :( sadly but oh well.. my 2 cents

[ThuGfunk]

@antixs092

Also check the carfax before buying any used car. GTI's and Vdubs in general are amazing cars that can go for 300-500k miles if you maintain it.

[PolishDork]

@antixs092m listen to yourself. it has 112 thousand miles on it....your going to put an expensive upgrade on a beat up car that might as well pop in your face by itself without upgrades regardless? I say save up for a new one, or atleast something in the 30-60k range

[housetek]

I personally run awe, but my friend has 08 APR stage 2. and APR does fantastic work.

[dmc12345678910]

i love people trying to make exscuses ! ohh it wasent an r8 ! bla bla bla just get over it ! power to weight ratio and tourqe ! my red top corsa was faster than a ctr becuase it was alot lighter with nearly the same power thats just the way it works ! bloody bench racers

[2wai]

Not feeling the decals

[schlesser]

the problem I'm Belem/PA - Brazil and not here as I have this service to reflash the dsg, then wondered if I install the 3rd stage without risk, thanks.

[APRVideos]

@schlesser From what we have seen, you'll have no issues. We have hundreds of DSG Stage 3's and most don't have any DSG software at all.

[schlesser]

is necessary to upgrade the dsg in the stage 3, I have no risk of breakage?

[APRVideos]

@schlesser No need to upgrade the DSG at all although an increased revlimiter is nice to have. If you're shopping for software currently on the market, HPA has the best solution.

[schlesser]

dsg stock ?

[APRVideos]

@schlesser A3 no, GTI yes.

[macneil17rider]

its an A8, and R8 would destroy all these cars

[APRVideos]

@macneil17rider Sorry, you are incorrect. The cars in this video are 2 R8's.

[realbigpwr]

@macneil17rider Get a clue chief. You are dealing with highly tuned versions of both the MKV GTI and A3.

[daryldarlie]

@macneil17rider If you have been an R8 you would recognize that distinct V8 sound, it simply unmistakable, also at 0:33 you can clearly see from the wing mirror that the camera car is a 2 door, unless your saying A8's come in 2 doors :)

Thumbs up to APR, bloody awesome hot hatches. Wish you guys had a shop in Malaysia, I've got a Mk 6 arriving in 4 weeks.

Cheers!

[xraeptiem]

I like the first pictures of the Red GTI from a few months back. Before the "crest"

[g4m3rsc0r3]

there is a evo VIII that lives near me and it has APR down the side of it i dnt know if it is tuned by APR but its nice

[LilNug]

That grey GTI was like not today you dont

[croner13]

you do know that the yellow rs4 and the r8 have the same motor right?

[killer8424]

@croner13 That was an A3, not an RS4

[UD503J]

I wish I had the bucks for this.

[420witchdoctor]

That GTi is still bad ass.

[thatzmyw0rd]

thats not even a r8

[APRVideos]

@thatzmyw0rd Yes it is. That's a red R8 and a Grey R8. Look at the APR photo gallery. They are both on the site.

[WeNeedFoodPlease]

you can even tell by how it sounds that it is clearly an r8. i highly doubt i am the only person here who has seen and heard the r8 in person.

[Nautilus0512]

1:12 pwned by a minivan lol

[TheSaltySea]

that;s a GTI douchefuck

[WeNeedFoodPlease]

lmfao! dude my girlfriend calls me that! (douchefuck) but yeah lol how the hell do you confuse a minivan with a gti...what fucking ass hat

[xXxPresRGAxXx]

as much as i LOVE r8's, a GTI with a stage 3 kit is worth it. its 1/4 of the price of an r8 and keeps up with it :D

[mdr279]

It's very quick though.

[chriswbaldwin]

@mdr279 what mods has this APR car had done? is it running KO4 or another?

[bennywhat]

@chriswbaldwin the red gti has a k04, the a3 and the grey gti have a stage 3 turbo, its in the info section >>>

[mdr279]

The GTI's paint job is fucked.

[bobrec3GTI]

@mdr279 that paint job might not be the sickest thing in the world but that happens to be the APR tuned crest.

[vdubjetta02]

ill take the A3 ... thanks

[bobrec3GTI]

@vdubjetta02 yeah right just pay an extra 10,000 for an A3, i dont think so

[mortisvan]

A3 and GTI have the same 2.0 liter turbo engine

[bobrec3GTI]

@mortisvan exactly what my argument is

[SickAudi]

v8 r8 hahaha

[albi16121983]

@bulgdoom awd is at a rolling start and straight street not better!!! only for standing start or wet streets or corners....

awd is more heavy then fwd...

[Mcmarahonduras]

VW FTW!!!! i own a gti and i am definately getting this....guy in the red gti is a fuckin ricer...really dude? really? a ricer ass decal on a gti...put the vw for sale n go get a frickin civic man...then put allllllllll the ricer decals u want....

[APRVideos]

Thank you for the kind comments.

The APR Crest Decal is owned by an APR employee. The Crest was placed on the side of the car for a car show.

[Mcmarahonduras]

Im sorry. But it is true.... It does not look good at all. On a gti... especially...

[APRVideos]

In person it's very different.

goapr . com/media/photos/7215762189881­7871/3816091436/Large/

[bobrec3GTI]

@APRVideos i actually like the decal, not saying that i would like it on my own 5 door that i own but i think it looks pretty good, it looks very euro without looking too ricey

[WeNeedFoodPlease]

i agree

[1dolum]

@Mcmarahonduras I think that's APR's coat of arms, or whatever they call it. In red and gold it does kinda look like a chinese dragon though. If you see it up close it has a more graffiti look to it.

[vwman70]

WTF is the shit all over the side of the GTI?

[Bulgdoom]

How the hell does a FWD car beat an AWD 400+ HP super car??? Makes no sense. That GTI at most should be making about 360hp which is about 60 less and with the front wheels I have no idea how its putting that power down.

[derekjlight]

Ever think that the GTI is far lighter?

[FakDomestics]

@Bulgdoom

The GTI is NOT that much lighter the R8 (which in this case is a V8) weights 3500lbs and the GTI weights a hair over 3000lbs... The R8 only has 400HP. the stage 3 has 370HP and 45 more ft lbs ... AND did u notice how the R8 pulled near the end which means the R8 has top end on the GTI.

[sleeksilver]

AWD parasitic loss FTMFL.

GTI is lighter as well.

[puzger]

i think this s3 is for sale on apr's website

[APRVideos]

The yellow car is actually an A3. We don't get the S3 here in the US.

It's no longer for sale.

[ganso6969]

put a v10 audi r8 jajajaja

[foobarturkey]

Was cruzing up 85 in Atlanta a few months back and I saw that yellow A3. Didn't know it was a stage 3.

[salex09]

wow cool design of the red gti !!!

[alexsitomas]

I love the design oin the side of that red gti

[sushimasta28]

A Team? haha good shit

[APRVideos]

Yup! It was at the end of an Aphex Twin live set. :)

[buntcakemadness]

Or you could just do a stage 2 MS3 and forget about injectors and fuel pumps and all that jazz  =p

[APRVideos]

Let me know when you find two R8's to race. ;)

[goodla82]

Install of the K04 kit is nearly complete (replacing injectors is a bizznatch)...going to go get my APR software upgrade in a few hours..."Im so exciiited"

I will let you know the outcome

[peppeleontaranto]

considering that you are a good preparatore do you tell me my sec you how much cv you/he/she should have? gurda my video, the changes dell epoch they are written I place side by side, I now have pomp kmd, k04, pipes s3, ic s3, direct aspiration, unloaded 70 scatalizzatos 1.6 cafes peak 1.35 stable, another thing, with that taut pressures that cv? thanks!

[APRVideos]

a;lskjfl;aksjdfl;kjas;dlkfjas;­lkjglkhagl;hlskh

[WaZzAp11010]

hey, whats the A/R on the 2871R that you guys use on the stage 3 kit?

[knixkidd]

nice, uh, tribal design....faggot

[turbor850]

Didn't seem like the K04 and Stage III GTI's were THAT big of a difference when racing ? ? ?

[APRVideos]

The K04 will have lots of low end power where as the Stage III will have more top end. From a Dig the K04 will take off but the Stage III will overpower it. Throw in race fuel or water meth and it's no question the stage III kit will destroy.

It should be noted in the video the K04 car was running OEM light weight wheels while the two stage III cars had heavy 19 inch oettinger wheels. Wheel setup will make a rather large difference and I suggest everyone look into light weight wheels. :)

[onesick302]

look at 39 sec into the video you see the carbon side of the r8 in the mirror

[jo0o0oky]

nice video ...

leon Fr 2009 ( stage lll ) how much will cost ??

[diewlaymagahai]

how would we know if that really is a R8

[APRVideos]

The Sound of the car.

The Mirrors.

The fact that we have photos of the red and silver R8 on our website.

And I have photo and video proof to back it up. :)

[ShuffleBoyz93]

whoah,a GTI can follow the R8?

cool man !

[dagracing]

hey APR on the ko4 car was yall runing the apr hpfp?

[APRVideos]

Yes

[dagracing]

thanks for  the info!

[goodla82]

Holy Piss!...I am currently running a full bolt-on K03 (w/o water/meth) using your Stage 2+ software....on 100oct map that thing would be a BEAST...hmmm VERY tempting...and after viewing this vid, I take it that your advertised HP numbers are conservative as well ;)

[APRVideos]

Believe me, the K04 is a great modification for this engine. It has almost no lag. Full boost by 2800 RPM's and it holds that boost till about 5500 rpm's. Depending on loading and ambient conditions It will creep down a few psi towards redline. It's very OEM. Bolt on and go. And our software for it has been torture tested to ensure EGT's ever going over the turbo's max temperature rating. We make it fun but keep everything safe. :)

[goodla82]

I have luckily came across some pieces of the kit already and have been debating on if I should sell them to get money for a larger kit...or continue to piece together the K04..But after seeing how closely the K04 runs with the GT28 kit...Im seriously considering just going with the K04..Plus with the support from the rest of my bolt-ons Im sure it would put down some good power

[goodla82]

Yea I totally agree with tuning for safety....I'd rather sacrifice a few WHP to spare my engine (esp rods) instead of going all out and costing more down the road...Im no "APR fanboy" but your products are legit, proven, and have yet to fail me.

[goodla82]

Damn a K04 GTI kept up like that!?...WTF!? I thought the K04 kit only puts like maybe 300whp?

[APRVideos]

You betcha! The K04 was running straight up 93 octane. Had it had race fuel, I'm sure I would have walked away from the R8.

[awb17x]

I got a k04 and only put down 275 :( ... still a fun car though

[goodla82]

woah...what mods?..boost leak maybe?

[goodla82]

are you running the latest APR K04 kit?...or the early one?

[08MS3uknw]

is this near auburn? i cud have seen the golfs down town, i know apr is onlt 30 min away

[rebelwarrior458]

yes this is in auburn, al on u.s 280. Apr building is also on 280. i see these cars around town every day

[WaZzAp11010]

Hey, have you guys done testing with the stage 3 kits + 100 octane + DSG? Im curious about anything you guys notices

[APRVideos]

Yes. Chris T in tech support has it on his car. I noticed it was freaking fast! :D :D :D

[WaZzAp11010]

:D :D :D Nice! You know how us DSG guys are, always worrying about DSG.

Also, APR, If I heard correctly, is supposed to be bringing low compression + stage 3 soon. Is it any time in the near future, Or shud we just pull the trigger with the IE rods?

[APRVideos]

You'll wanna keep your finger OFF the trigger... Don't jump the gun. The software will only work with the compression we choose.

[WaZzAp11010]

Yep, I was talkin to a rep on the vortex about it, soon you guys will have a line up of these files? Also, I cant remember for certain, but APR would have a kit that provides the internals. What I meant previously was about the switch from the 100 oct stage 3 file to the future low compression lineup.

[APRVideos]

You were probably speaking to Arin (that's who's typing this). Just send me a private message and I'll fill you in.
