APR's tuning program for the Volkswagen 2.5L engine is designed to operate within the OEM and Tier 1 Supplier specifications for engine component stress tolerances and performance specifications. The APR ECU upgrade typically raises the power output of the 2.5 to 180 horsepower and 201 lb-ft of torque on 91 octane fuel with a peak gain over stock of 10HP @ 6000 RPM and 12 lb-ft @ 4000 RPM! Expect improved throttle response and a smoother, more powerful top end with no loss of drivability or reliability. With APR's DirectPort ECU tuning the ECU can be programmed in around 40 minutes, no ECU removal or soldering is required.

APR software is available with up to four Operating Modes as well as Extra Features at an additional cost*. APR's Flipswitch technology allows switching of Operating Modes or activation of Extra Features in seconds using the cruise control stalk with no need to purchase external hardware.

  • Exact OEM Calibration Stock Mode

Warranty and Guarantee:
All APR ECU software comes with lifetime free upgrades. APR provides a lifetime warranty against defects in the software. All APR ECU upgrades have a 30-day Money Back Guarantee.

Just swung by and got the ECU upgrade on my otherwise stock 2006 GTI. Raining today, which sucks.. but in 4th gear on the freeway I can break the tires loose (again, real wet streets).. but I could never do that with the stock ECU. The torque is real noticeable!
