APR Stage 3 PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System for 2.0T EA888.4 Engines (MK8 Golf R, S3, Arteon)

The APR Stage 3 PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System for the MQB/MQB Evo 2.0T Ea888.4 (280-333 PS) engine, such as the MK8 Golf R, S3, Arteon, and many others, is a direct bolt-on upgrade that includes a Garrett turbocharger, installation kit, and APR software upgrade. This system delivers an impressive 478-543 HP and 409-435 FTLBS of torque, depending on octane level. Designed to maximize power with just an intake and intercooler, it requires no additional hardware.The Garrett PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger provides a 20% increase in compressor flow and a 37% increase in turbine flow compared to the factory Continental turbocharger, all within a direct replacement bolt-on package. The turbine wheel, made from a Mar-M alloy rated for 1050°C, ensures the system can operate under extreme conditions without compromising reliability.The kit includes an upgrade to APR Stage 3 software from a lower stage, designed to achieve the specified power levels with only the intake and intercooler system. There is no need for additional, costly, or emissions-impacting exhaust systems, fueling modifications, or sensors at this power level.The horsepower and torque gains achieved with this turbocharger upgrade are substantial. APR's calibration engineering experts dedicated months to fine-tuning the Stage 3 Pmax engine and transmission software to provide an exceptional driving experience without imposing undue risk on your engine's lifespan. Reliability is a core principle of the APR experience and was a paramount design requirement for our engineering team.The software is available in both high and low torque configurations to respect transmission limits when additional upgrades, such as our Stage 3 TCU upgrade, are not feasible. While the turbocharger is capable of higher low-end torque, prioritizing engine reliability necessitates discipline. Fits 2022-2024 Audi S3/VW Arteon/Golf R Specific software is required to use this system. Software is included for various vehicles. Software compatibility must be checked before purchase. This kit includes an upgrade to Stage 3 from a lower stage.
