What I think APR should do is offer a complete upgrade kit. Yes they do a turbo, fuel and software kit but wouldn't it be awesome to have a kit that comes with crank, pistons, big turbos and even more. I think they should do this because some DIY back yard mechanics don't always know compatible parts. If they did a one stop kinda deal I would all over that. Reason I say this, don't we all want more and more power well they should have kits that replace every last bolt on or in the motor with ARP bolts and it would also be awesome to not be forced to use ko4 turbos and use bigger and better.
@DTM690 The kit includes the downpipe all the way under the car. If your existing downpipe splits just before the catalyst, it's possible it would be used with our system.
@fish10782 Fish, unfortunately the information you've requested, we do not give out. You would not need this information either as we do not offer custom tuning for different turbos or injectors. We also do not sell our Stage 3 hardware separately from our kit unless you've already purchased the kit and need replacements. We do this so people don't call up, figure out what we are using, and then buy the parts either from us or from other sources when making their own kits.
@imreloadin2 Software is included and no dyno tuning is required! We've spent months upon months creating switchable software which will work for 91 octane, 93 octane or 100 octane. If you are outside the US, we have programs for 95 ron, 98 ron and 104 ron. All you need to do is install the kit and we install the software on your ECU. It's all plug and play with no adjustment required on your end. :-)
The intercooler and full exhaust my be added ala carte. Since many people upgrade these two items before upgrading to the full kit, we give you the option to purchase them separately so you're not stuck with extra parts.
@TheVorrhees thax for the info bro....i was thinking of getting the stage 3 and get a forge BOV/DV instead of stock but was worried about it messing with the MAF. anyways i think ill get an aftermarket flywheel and clutch aswell to handle that HP
Your right a K04 wouldn't snap a rod immediately, but the abrupt onset of the torque curve is what is gonna snap the rod more readily. A lot of people have and are running 300wtq on stock rods, but they tuned the car correctly so the torque comes on smooth. It's all about how the car is tuned. Flat out.
I own a 2004 audi 1.8t with APR k04 tuning man my car is not pass the speed limit 128 mph it sucks I spend to much money on this shit any advice brother
@NomisAllDay42 This kit is not for the B7 A4 but we do have a smilar more powerful kit for your car. Please visit our website, GOAPR (dot) com and drill down to your vehicle. The turbo system is listed as an APR stage III turbocharger system. Thanks!
To all the people asking, stock internals are good until roughly 300awhp and 300awtq. Of course you can snap a rod with a K04 just because the torque spike is more abrupt and less smooth. Overall, it all comes down to how you tune the car. Keep the boost down until you can afford to upgrade your internals and you shouldn't have a problem.
A K04-xxx or a GT2860(RS) are going to be your rod killers. A sudden abrupt spike of boost is common with them and thats what gets rods. If you are walking the line be sure to install an MBC in parallel with your N75 to prevent the spikes. Race versions (old crappy,slow reacting) of the N75 shouldn't be used. A 50 trim with its journal bearings is the safest bet for guys looking for decent power (+320 whp) on stock internals. They are slower reacting than GT series turbos.
I own a 2004 audi a4 1.8t with APR tuning k04 end down pipe my car is not pass 128 mph any tips I SPEND MORE THEN 1000.00 DOLLARS ON SOFTWARE IT SEEMS VERY SLOW,from 170 hp to 240 hp more like not really, advice please do I need a high flow fuel pump end filter advice thank you,
Hi boy's nice video thank you for details,this kit its available on the moment,i have 03 mk4 gti 180bhp and 6 spead,any answere i really apreciate thank you
hunter says its 5.4k, i see an internal waste gate on that turbo, no diverter valve included in kit either? That's a lot for an internal wastegate.. Or am I just missing something, nice kit overall though.
hey APR!! which kit would you prefer me on my a3 1.8T with enginecode APP. Engine is stock. How much hp/torque would the engine hold without any changes? I'm looking foreward to buying one of your turbo-kits with the max hp/torque my engine can take without any changes...! i would be very thankful for an answer ;-) by the way sorry for my bad english, i'm from germany.............
I see a bunch of people asking this same question but I don't see any answers so I'm going to ask it too... would running this kit be safe on stock internals?
@APRVideos hi, i hear that there is a problem with fitting the kit on right hand drive cars (UK) something to do with the exhaust manifold not fitting correctly.. is this true? if so, have you found a way around this?
i am very interested on the kit for my 2008 GTI FSI. how much is the kit. my car is Stage 2 from a different chip company besides APR, can i still buy the kit and install it? i currently have a full system eurojet exhaust 3" tbe. would i have to replace that with the APR exhaust that comes with the kit?
Hunter Lane Ditch the 1.8T and get a MK7 GTI.....get 340HP with just an intake and downpipe with a tune. Night and day difference over my old 1.8T Jetta GLI.
yeah!! uhm the next "new" car tht I will purchase, if I ever do would have to be the new golf R the mk7 gen. thats 400hp with the intake, down pipe, and stg2+ and AWD…and for some reasons keep looking at E46 M3's…my currnt car is a mk41.8t, stg2+ tune, R32 interior and the 337 lips and skirts that ive had for like 5yrs now and want something new really bad...
I feel the same, I still love the mk2 golf, and the mk4 337 / 20AE / R32 body style, not to mention that gen's R, best interior and seats the VW ever put into a golf…that is whi I'd even consider just keeping my mk4...
that's just this brand other companies have the kit for less 2k Is the cheapest I've seen but for 5k u can get ur motors internals done and a bigger turbo n way more hp
Just curious how much horsepower/torque I'd be putting down if I ordered a Stage II ECU and had all of the recommended supporting modifications listed on your site for the Stage II ECU?
I have a 98 Audi A4 B5 1.8T A/T and is starting to put some work into the car. Does this stage kit fit for automatic transmissions? and if i get this kit, is it recommended that i get an intercooler or intake along with it.
1. I have an Audi A4 1.8t ATW. Would an AEB head fit and is it worth it? I have your stg1 software already. 2. If I get my own injectors, turbo and everything else can you make a custom file or am I left to fend for myself?
@fish10782 We don't give out this information and we don't part out our kits. We do this specifically to be assholes, not to protect any of our research.
Hi, Im confused with some comments. I am planning to get the B6 1.8T as a second car cuz my 2.8 V6 A4 eats way too much gas. I am more concerned with fuel economy but I do see myself shelling out ~$500 or so for the stage 1+ tune. Then work my way up since its also ecomical on my wallet. I probably wont get to stage 3+ but are you guys saying I wont be able to go to stage 3+ unless i buy a new complete kit? Or can I just buy the remaining parts I need to go from stage 2+ to stage 3+ ??? thanks!
I believe that this kit is around $3000+, quite a lot of money, but I think it's worth every penny. I would get invest in this kit rather than buy a new car. go APR.
If you want to contact them look at there web page... www.goaprDOTcom/ There phone number is listed on the first page that comes up... Remind you you will need to replace the DOT with a . to get to the web page..
I have e big problem for APR upgrade, I have Skoda Octavia A5 1.9 TDI and put on the up grade ECU, but the problem is that broten the turbo and inyectors and very espensive repair the mechanic pices. I don’t like the APR that broken the motor
Does anybody know where to find a video on youtube it was about a audi a4 b6 1.8t quattro that was tuned by apr and some other performance tuners on motor tv.
In norway the insurance company dont cover mods. If i spend 10k on a new paintjob, engine upgrade etc etc, i wont get my money back for it if the car gets totaled. It might be possible to buy a special insurance, but a standard one dont cover it. It will give you money for the same car, with no mods.
Is it possible to put a twin turbo system on a gti. I got to thinking about it and that would be a rocket on 4 wheels. Seriously though has anybody got a twin turbo system on their GTI obvisously not stock.
***** I'm not a big fan of the subarus to me they are ugly. Yeah R32 would be nice have you seen the phaeton I want one of those they have W12 engines they are nice like a high class luxury vw.
***** Yeah well I'm only 24 but yeah I love my beetles been a VW beetle nut since I was 13, but to get them in that condition it cost around 20-30k just to get them to show car quality. That's cool.
Yeah but the 1.8t is much easier to work on vs the S4. Especially the dreaded rear timing chain guides that fail on the V8 and the 2.7t version has very little room to access the turbos. If don't mind more work and cussing (and paying more) get the S4 ;)
called apr the other day to find out what cc the injectors were. the guy was an assgolbin to me and said they don't release that info to the public. pretty sure the guy just said 550cc. none the less they were total ass holes to deal with, wont sell you the turbo studs for the manifold. I asked to see if they can get bigger injectors and the guy argued with me and said I put a to big of a turbo on and I'm S.O.L fuck apr.... however it sure did run good
Love the '90s editing..

@carbon310 The stage 3+ Upgrade kit is for existing stage 3 customers so they can upgrade to stage 3+.
my question is is why after so many years is this kit still more expensive than a full rebuild for my 98 audi a4
1.8t
sounds like there willing to work with ya. i love apr, got this kit on my 04 gti. thanks apr, you guys are great!
great new video's, keep up the great work guys. apr rules.

@SleeperAvant No, only if you plan to use the 100 octane program. :)
Does the motor require stronger internals such as con-rods and pistons to handle the 93 octane power of this from day-to-day?
mine is going in on saturday.... can't wait!!!!!
@DTM690 Yes, It's on sale for 9 more days. :)
...I love my stage 3+ kit...nothing better than APR...
I like it. I have a -04 Seat Leon Cupra R with a 1.8T BAM vvt motor. it's a FWD car only. Would I be able to fit this ?
um ya, what would you call it? and its the kit as a whole, not just the turbo.
A K04-xxx or a GT2860(RS) are going to be your rod killers. A sudden abrupt spike of boost is common with them and thats what gets rods.

That's the top speed governor
@TheVorrhees was it the transverse stage 3 + kit? did u upgrade any of the internals aswell? if yes what exactly? what was ur power output.....?
I'am from Brazil. I want a full kit. Is it possible ? Have the full kit an intercooler ? Tks
11 years later, where can I purchase the kit?
Lol 😂 i had to get everything by parts and then get the turbo rebuild trust me its alot of money 💰 that went into it 😬
Hi boy's nice video thank you for details,this kit its available on the moment,i have 03 mk4 gti 180bhp and 6 spead,any answere i really apreciate thank you
I'd like to read the instruction booklet, anyone know where I can get it without buying the whole kit?
is this still available anywhere?
hunter says its 5.4k, i see an internal waste gate on that turbo, no diverter valve included in kit either? That's a lot for an internal wastegate.. Or am I just missing something, nice kit overall though.
@APRVideos It splits and has a section that reduces to fit the stock catback. Also, is this kit on sale now?
does this kit work for the 1.8 R4 20vT on any brand from VWGroup (Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda) or is different for each brand and model?
bigger intake side, exhaust is still small witch builds boost fast.
OMG I want this Kit. Whats the best place to get it?
whats the difference from the stage III+ upgrade and full kit, because i see a big price difference.
hey APR!! which kit would you prefer me on my a3 1.8T with enginecode APP. Engine is stock. How much hp/torque would the engine hold without any changes? I'm looking foreward to buying one of your turbo-kits with the max hp/torque my engine can take without any changes...!
i would be very thankful for an answer ;-)

@APRVideos hi, i hear that there is a problem with fitting the kit on right hand drive cars (UK) something to do with the exhaust manifold not fitting correctly.. is this true? if so, have you found a way around this?
is a turbo installation extremely expensive? it seems like a huge amount of work
My car has a 3inch catless downpipe. would this kit allow me to retain my current downpipe?
@APRVideos Oh, how much power does the 100 octane program give?
i am very interested on the kit for my 2008 GTI FSI. how much is the kit. my car is Stage 2 from a different chip company besides APR, can i still buy the kit and install it? i currently have a full system eurojet exhaust 3" tbe. would i have to replace that with the APR exhaust that comes with the kit?
is this kit reall worth 5k4!! for only 340hp?? thats a whole hell of alot of money...
Hunter Lane Ditch the 1.8T and get a MK7 GTI.....get 340HP with just an intake and downpipe with a tune. Night and day difference over my old 1.8T Jetta GLI.

Dana Rouleau Personally don't like newer body styles (on pretty much ANY car). The Mk4 is about a pretty as they come.
I feel the same, I still love the mk2 golf, and the mk4 337 / 20AE / R32 body style, not to mention that gen's R, best interior and seats the VW ever put into a golf…that is whi I'd even consider just keeping my mk4...
that's just this brand other companies have the kit for less 2k Is the cheapest I've seen but for 5k u can get ur motors internals done and a bigger turbo n way more hp
ive been looking at mk4 jetta, what exactly would i need to have this kit, and where can i get it installed
So if I were to order this would I have to have my car Dyno Tuned or does it come with a pre-programmed ecu?
Just curious how much horsepower/torque I'd be putting down if I ordered a Stage II ECU and had all of the recommended supporting modifications listed on your site for the Stage II ECU?
200whp
I have a 98 Audi A4 B5 1.8T A/T and is starting to put some work into the car. Does this stage kit fit for automatic transmissions? and if i get this kit, is it recommended that i get an intercooler or intake along with it.
Hey. where is the Intercooler and dump valve in the kit ?
Dont need it ?
will adden the apr intercooler make a differents in power
1. I have an Audi A4 1.8t ATW. Would an AEB head fit and is it worth it? I have your stg1 software already. 2. If I get my own injectors, turbo and everything else can you make a custom file or am I left to fend for myself?
if i had money for this i would deff take it with no questions asked
Um, it depends. My buddy snapped a rod on a K03s, it's all about how the car is tuned.
Can i do it to my passat 2017 sel premium tsi .would it be a good idea
hi I want to know if the stage 3 is legal in california?
which Garrett Turbo model is this? GT2860RS or GT2560R?
@shibidi
try 5999.99 for the 1.8 non vvt and 6999.99 for the 225 vvt i belive
@fish10782 We don't give out this information and we don't part out our kits. We do this specifically to be assholes, not to protect any of our research.
Do you guys still have this kit available for a 00 VW golf 1.8t engine code AWD ??
ONLY ONE QUESTION I REPLCE MY TURBO FOR A KO4 INSTALL BLOW OFF VALVE TOO ,TOO MUCH BOOST WILL MAKE MY REAR MAIN LEAK ADVISE PLEASE
Will this kit fit the 1.8t jetta 2001? If so where can i buy it?

serious question do i half to buy the apr intercooler with the ko4 turbo
No, buy seriously... Is this kit safe for stock internals??
I have an golf 5 plus 1.9 TDI 2005 how much power can i have on my car and a price ? i want to contact you
If you want to contact them look at there web page... www.goaprDOTcom/ There phone number is listed on the first page that comes up... Remind you you will need to replace the DOT with a . to get to the web page..
Will this work for Audi A4 1.8t 2005?
would stock internals be safe to run it ?
@legalise86 If your car is totaled, and you give us proof, we'll let you transfer the software.
why not a twin scroll turbo housing?
FockYouMang this was 7 years ago.
@APRVideos Whats the price? :)
how much it cost?
I have e big problem for APR upgrade, I have Skoda Octavia A5 1.9 TDI and put on the up grade ECU, but the problem is that broten the turbo and inyectors and very espensive repair the mechanic pices.
I don’t like the APR that broken the motor

Nice big advertisement/review video and no link in the description to buy the dam kit. ...🤔
makes me want to go buy a mk4 Jetta GLI
any offers
i want this so called "disco potato"
Here here
Turban?
@dchrish no you dont have to
Is it possible to put a twin turbo system on a gti. I got to thinking about it and that would be a rocket on 4 wheels. Seriously though has anybody got a twin turbo system on their GTI obvisously not stock.
***** o ok because I got to thinking that kit puts 448 hp total on the stock gti, so that would be close to 700 with a twin turbo setup.
***** I'm not a big fan of the subarus to me they are ugly. Yeah R32 would be nice have you seen the phaeton I want one of those they have W12 engines they are nice like a high class luxury vw.
***** yeah haha well I drive a beat up 1998 toyota corolla I used to have a 1968 and 1970 vw beetle but had to sell them.
***** haha yeah I do but I love my classic cars. I miss my beetles
***** Yeah well I'm only 24 but yeah I love my beetles been a VW beetle nut since I was 13, but to get them in that condition it cost around 20-30k just to get them to show car quality. That's cool.
ΟΚ If I buy a t-shirt from you guys can you give me as a present a stage 3 kit???
bigger turbo would make lag
Wow that's a grip..I'll just sell my B5 1.8t for an B5 S4 instead....with that amount...lol
Yeah but the 1.8t is much easier to work on vs the S4. Especially the dreaded rear timing chain guides that fail on the V8 and the 2.7t version has very little room to access the turbos. If don't mind more work and cussing (and paying more) get the S4 ;)

@DTM690 Depends on the make and models. Check out goapr (dot) com and select your vehicle. :-)
I am the hottest guy to ever work for APR. Sorry Matt :)
I did before I asked here. Never got back to me.
many insurance companies do not cover modifications
APR GTi
I was have?? lol
@hectortowerss False. Fail. Banned.
$4500 at turbokits
Nothing is legal in our sunny state...lol
