Beyond the Numbers
Performance is usually about compromise. It seems the faster we go the less refined our vehicles become. Added power usually comes at the expense of some drivability. Stock parts are replaced with aftermarket components that seldom meet OE specifications and usually detract from the cars stock appearance and value. We have made every effort to use the absolute finest components for our Stage III System without detracting from the overall stock aesthetic.
It has been argued that some of our components are overkill for today's cars, but we prefer that reputation to one of questionable reliability. We design products that are to be used outside the limits and constraints of average production pieces. We do not accept excuses from others, or from ourselves. Our philosophy is simple; accept nothing but perfection from our products and ourselves. This philosophy is time consuming and very expensive and is proven in the caliber of product we have released with Stage III. Our engineering team has scrutinized every detail of the system. From the material of a bolt to the automatic ratcheting washers, every piece of hardware is the absolute best for the application.
Our goal with Stage III is to provide our customers with a powerful but usable turbo application that will behave as well as the factory unit and not adversely affect longevity. Some companies with lesser abilities have resorted to larger turbos to make similar power. These old style turbos are far less efficient and have considerable turbo lag resulting in an excessive decrease of low and mid range performance. They can only produce good power levels at the high end of the RPM band.
The Stage III System could have been released sooner but our level of commitment requires us to do thorough testing. We have logged thousands of miles on test vehicles and hundreds of dyno sessions to ensure that the kit is ready for our customers. This abuse of our cars equates to proven performance and reliability for even the most aggressive Stage III consumer.
A system of such refinement has never before been so accessible to so many. The Stage III system has bridged the gap between performance and refinement. It is with this promise that we introduce the APR Stage III system.
