In 2008, shortly after the worldwide release of the 2.0 TSI engine, Volkswagen of America commissioned APR to build the Stage III GT turbocharger system for its SEMA concept cars. The successes of these concept cars led to the first version of the APR Stage III turbocharger system, based on the then available Garret GT turbocharger, and became a global phenomenon. In the years since, APR has continued to work with VWoA, Volkswagen GmBH, VWVortex and BFGoodrich to deliver more concept cars for SEMA, Wörthersee in Austria, and other events around the world, while APR continued to test the latest turbocharger technology. With the introduction of the Garret GTX2867R turbocharger, APR has raised the bar yet again and redefined the standard by which the VAG community measures performance, reliability, drivability and quality. Gone are the days of compromise where low-end response meant excessive back pressure, compressor surge and extremely limited high-end performance. True to APR's mantra of Uncompromising Performance, the days of tire shredding on front wheel drive vehicles are fast disappearing thanks to the new Gold Standard in ECU Torque Management calibration strategies that only APR can offer. APR's endless pursuit of perfection has resulted in the most comprehensive 2.0 TSI turbocharger system in the world. The 2.0 TSI is completely transformed the second it encounters an APR Stage III GTX turbocharger system. Power immediately jumps to 423 horsepower with 387 lb-ft. of torque on tap using 93 octane fuel on an all-stock, unmodified factory fueling system. Switching to APR's 100-octane racing fuel mode, output rises to 458 horsepower with 409 lb-ft. of torque all at the driver's command. This extreme level of performance is just a taste of the system's full performance capabilities. Software included.
