Motorsports separate the men from the boys and competing on the professional level certainly requires the highest skill level. Congratulations are due to JDC-Miller Motorsports and their Unitronic / Out There Brands sponsored RS3 for taking home the TCR class win at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park 120. ...Published on 07-16-2019 09:11 PM
VTT (Vargas Turbo Technologies) is beginning their 2.5 TFSI tuning development and a turbocharger upgrade is coming from them soon. For baseline testing, they choose Unitronic software and did stock, Stage 1, Stage 1+ 93 octane, and Stage 1+ E85 testing. ...Published on 07-13-2019 06:00 PM
Big numbers here from an IMS850 upgraded Audi 8V.2 RS3 sedan. Unfortunately the full graph with correction factor was not posted but the peak figures are massive. 825.8 horsepower to all four wheels makes for a monster. ...Published on 07-13-2019 05:34 PM
This is the standard Audi R8 5.2 V10 model with 540 horsepower. The engine is detuned from the higher output Huracan and R8 V10 Plus models which make over 600 horsepower at the crank. That explains a large portion of the horsepower gain here. ...APR Stage 1 tuning software now available for 2019 US 2.5 TFSI EVO motor (8V RS3 sedan, MKIII TT-RS)

APR Stage 1 is now available for the 2019 North American TT RS and RS3! Power starts at 394 HP, but with the APR Stage 1 ECU Upgrade expect up to 459-542 HP with 451-506 FT LBS of torque. ...Published on 07-12-2019 07:11 PM
Audi changed a few things in the ECU for the 2019 model year which affected tuning of the 8V.2 RS3 and MKIII/8S TT-RS models. Well, 2019 model year owners no longer are left out of the tuning fun and Unitronic has software available. ...Published on 07-11-2019 10:01 PM
Armor is awesome but the added protection offered comes at the expense of weight. Armored cars are very, very heavy. You can offset the acceleration penalty with more power and when it comes to adding power reliably to the Audi RS7 APR is the best of the best. ...Published on 07-10-2019 11:24 PM
California is a lost cause. Whomever thought this was a good idea needs to be removed immediately from government work. Part of the appeal of a car for many is doing your own work (whatever that may entail) in the comfort of your own garage. ...Published on 07-10-2019 10:41 PM
This is a test many of us were waiting for as it includes popular summer performance street tires most enthusiasts run on their own cars but it includes the big new entry into the category. That would be the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport. ...Published on 07-02-2019 08:53 PM
TCU (transmission control unit) tuning is only becoming more and more important in modern applications. Some tuners maybe be able to get big power out of the motor through ECU (engine control unit) tuning but if the transmission does not cooperate or hold that power what is the point? ...Published on 07-02-2019 05:23 PM
The previous generation Audi S8 overachieved in performance and really was a powerhouse especially when it came to tuning. The new D5 generation S8 likely will not be different in that respect but in the USA it will only come in the heavier long wheelbase option. ...Published on 07-02-2019 03:58 PM
The APR Catback Exhaust System personalizes your sound and performance. Beautifully hand-crafted T304-stainless-steel components adorn the system with stunning TIG-welding throughout. Our straight-through brushed-finished mufflers smooth the exhaust note to a deep growl, without adding restrictions. ...Published on 06-30-2019 05:04 PM
Californians had the opportunity to repeal a gas tax that added 12 cents per gallon to their gasoline. They failed to do so and now the state is levying another tax on top of that increase of 5.6 cents per gallon. ...Published on 06-29-2019 05:42 PM
Everyone is familiar with APR in the Volkswagen and Audi tuning community. What many might not be aware of is just how large their facility is and the amount of research and development they do. There is a reason they are the biggest VW and Audi tuner in the US (and progressing into Porsche). ...Published on 06-28-2019 06:38 PM
The next generation Audi R8 is going to be a completely different car. We have plenty of time until it hits the market though so Audi certainly can squeeze more variants out of the current mid-engine V10 platform. ...
