Say Hello to the APR TT RS

[tdi-bart]

yesssss more power??

[Marty]

so when can we see power graphs for the TTRS, or will they be exactly the same as the australian ones posted on your site?

I'm expecting LESS power for us 91ACN folks...

[Arin@APR]

I'm expecting LESS power for us 91ACN folks...

No less than 95

[Marty]

No less than 95

95 RON I assume? 98 RON makes 403hp (projected crank hp I assume) on the APR site for the ROW TT-RS. Then 91 octane in the US (95 RON) must be in the high 300's, which can't much more than stock

I hope you guys aren't putting in a spike-y torque curve to compensate. :/

Except the rest of the world gets the CEPA engine and we've got the CEPB and no one is really sure how much of a difference that makes with our rated 360hp vs the Euro 340hp.

If you have two engine codes, CEPA and CEPB then the engines are mechanically identical. The first three letters CEP are the engine codes. The last letter A or B is the power rating.

VW and Audi does this all the time. It's just a small software change, such as raising or limiting engine load.

[LongviewTx]

If so, I would expect that the post-flash HP/TQ curve will be identical to the A motor, since Audi's programing twicks all ready account for some of the gains APR has accomplished with programming revisions, no?

Since the other graphs were posted we've spent more time on other ROW TTRS and RS3's as well as our own internal US TTRS. The calibration will be different.

[LongviewTx]

Marvelous, that sounds encouraging.

Did not know that, thanks for the info...


You know we're all just poking around this as much as possible to try to get you to spill the beans early

i'm still hoping for something with max power being made around redline, i hate power drop off feeling, but we are getting closer!

Will this program have a standard mode? How many other modes will there be? I don't know if I would purchase it yet if there isn't a standard mode. I don't want to ruin my warranty just yet.

Stage 1 and 2 will be based on the factory turbo, stage 3 is this new bigger turbo.

[gt2437]

bump for any updates?

[tdi-bart]

hey arin can you clarify if this new hardware will be port flashing first time around or does the ecu need to removed for the first flash? i read different reports

thx

My wife told me today that the car is way fast enough as it is. "Why would anybody need it to go any faster?"

Silly girls, some just don't understand.

LOL. My wife at the time would make similar statements. She'd even argue about the merits of all the go-fast parts. Now, she is my ex....

Hah!

Condolences

[Black BeauTTy]

LMAO, classic! I cured my wife of any misgivings with all the mods I did to the mkI. When I told her about wanting the HRE wheels, she said..."you should get them, they look cool!" WINNING!

[joe@vwvortex]

My wife is the complete opposite - always wanting to go faster. We hit 70mph on our tandem bicycle and she said - only 70....

She thinks my Stage III+ B5 S4 track car needs more power

[Arin@APR]

Hey guys, I don't have all the answers on flashing quite yet but I do know we are shooting to have everything ready this month (january). I'll have more information when I get back to the office but I will not be in for a full week of office work till the 9th. I'll be on the road testing this:

Damn, Dude what a Happy New Year 'till be for you. Be careful and enjoy. But, don't forget us as soon as you get back .

Don't look road legal to me.

If the US Spec TT RS is electronically limited at 174MPH for a top speed, what is it realistically capable of (drag limited) with a chip?

[JohnLZ7W]

If the US Spec TT RS is electronically limited at 174MPH for a top speed, what is it realistically capable of (drag limited) with a chip?

I think 174 is without the limiter, that's drag limited with stock horsepower. In the UK folks have seen over 180mph at the Bruntingthorpe V-Max events with Stage 2 tuning (~420hp). I believe the car is gear limited to about 194mph.

[tdi-bart]

here it is going 192mph

[gt2437]

Thanks guys! I came across the Road and Track TT RS technical spread (saved this PDF for the collection), as it stated 174MPH at 6400RPM, which was electronically limited. Got me wondering.

ok apr its 2012, time for some teaser graphs!!!!

[gt2437]

ok apr its 2012, time for some teaser graphs!!!!

If the Frontier Ace ever comes back on the GPS tracking, it would confirm that I'm on schedule to have my RS next week! I need intake and chip soon!!

[DrDomm]

192! That's some serious speed. Even if it is a little optimistic.

btw, some kind of stripping planned for the road TT RS, or will it stay white. ?
