North American customers purchasing the APR ECU upgrade will be entitled to a fully loaded ECU when it becomes available at no additonal charge.
Installation Options
APR's ECU Upgrade is able to be installed by APR's professional dealer network or by APR directly. Some applications are available to be installed via DirectPort programming without removing your ECU or even opening the hood. Some ECUs must be removed from the vehicle for DirectPort Programming. DirectPort Programming is not available for all late 1990 / early 2000 models and in these rare cases EMCS Modules are able to be soldered to the ECU. In the event there is not an APR dealer near, you also have the option to remove your ECU and send it to APR Headquarters for installation.
DirectPort Programming
DirectPort Programming is another industry first brought to you by APR. DirectPort Programming is also referred to as "flashing" the ECU with the new operating software contained in APR's ECU Upgrade. No more soldering additional hardware to expensive and delicate factory electronics. DirectPort Programming facilitates ease of installation and offers new features to give you even more flexibility with your OEM ECU. DirectPort Programming is only available by bringing your car to an APR dealer or by mailing your ECU to APR directly.
Testimonials
- AlamoCity Audi - Just had the APR ECU tune done today, and in a word: amazing. Car feels transformed with much quicker throttle response and the additional low end (~3k rpm) torque is a huge boon in city driving. Can't wait to get it on the track. I can't imagine a better power-per-dollar modification out there. And as an aside, kudos to the APR support staff (I called them several times and they were incredibly helpful).
- gazza1 - It is APR day as I just had mine installed today as well on 98 octane. Quick brief is car NOTICEABLY quicker and pulls hard..hardcore is best word for now! Feels harder pull than my Cobb/mid pipe R35 GTR. Can start to feel real g force on the chest now. In second gear accelerating hard in a straight line the tyres now really squirm and the traction control works overtime. Best bang for buck out there...Worth every cent.
