The APR Stage 3 PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System + Port Injection System for the 2022+ Volkswagen Golf R and Audi S3 represents the next evolution of EA888 Gen 4 performance. Combining Garrett's proven PowerMax GT2563S turbocharger technology with APR's fully integrated Multi-Port Injection (MPI) Fueling System, Stage 3 ECU Calibration, and advanced drivetrain calibration strategies, this system unlocks true Stage 3 power levels while maintaining OEM-like drivability, refinement, and reliability. Unlike conventional turbocharger upgrades that are ultimately constrained by the factory direct injection system, APR's integrated MPI solution works seamlessly alongside the factory fueling system under complete ECU control. The result is a fully engineered fueling strategy capable of supporting elevated airflow, increased boost pressure, and high-performance ethanol blends without the complexity of standalone controllers or supplemental engine management systems. Engineered specifically for the EA888 Gen 4 platform, the system delivers explosive acceleration from launch to redline, transforming the Golf R and Audi S3 into vehicles capable of supercar-level performance. Validated through extensive development and real-world testing, the package has demonstrated 0-60 MPH acceleration in as little as 3.12 seconds, 10 second capable quarter-mile performance at over 123 MPH, and blistering 60-130 MPH acceleration of just 9.55 seconds. APR's proprietary ECU and TCU calibration strategies work together to optimize boost delivery, fuel control, torque management, and drivetrain performance. Advanced Fuel Pressure Protection monitoring, OEM-style cold-start behavior, factory diagnostics, and comprehensive safety strategies remain fully intact, delivering a driving experience that feels factory-engineered despite the dramatic increase in performance capability. For enthusiasts seeking the highest level of factory ECU-controlled performance available for the EA888 Gen 4 platform, the APR Stage 3 PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System + Port Injection System delivers the airflow, fueling capacity, calibration sophistication, and real-world performance necessary to redefine what is possible from the modern Golf R and Audi S3 platform.

Specific matching Stage 3+ software is REQUIRED to use this system (ECU + TCU). Software is included for existing APR customers upgrading to APR Stage 3 ECU/TCU from lower stage (1/2). Please check software compatibility prior to purchase or installation. To achieve the advertised power, an intake and intercooler are required (APR recommended). Factory 10,000 mile oil intervals are excessive. Cut oil intervals in half when upgrading to Stage 3 Turbo Systems.. To add an additional layer of protection, use a high performance oil matching the factory weight and minimum factory specs. |
