APR 22-24 VW MK8 Golf R 2.0T Stage 3+ PowerMax + Port Injection Turbo System - T4100011

Upgrade your Volkswagen Golf R MK8 2.0T with the APR Stage 3+ PowerMax + Port Injection Turbo System, an advanced performance package engineered to unlock the potential of the EA888 Gen 4 engine platform. Designed for the 2022–2024 Volkswagen Golf R and compatible Audi S3 applications, this comprehensive system combines Garrett PowerMax GT2563S turbocharger support, APR Multi-Port Injection (MPI) fueling, and APR Stage 3 ECU and TCU calibrations into an integrated, factory-ECU-controlled performance solution.

Available in 350 WTQ and 400 WTQ calibration configurations, the APR Stage 3+ system delivers substantial increases in horsepower and torque while maintaining OEM-style cold starts, smooth idle quality, factory diagnostics, and original equipment safety strategies. The integrated MPI system works alongside the factory direct injection system to provide the additional fueling capacity required for Stage 3+ performance without requiring a standalone engine management controller.

Supporting 91, 93, 100, and 104 octane gasoline, as well as E85 fuel blends, this system offers multiple calibration options to accommodate different performance goals and fuel availability. Dyno-validated results range from 451 WHP on 91-octane fuel to 527 WHP on E85 (E60+), with additional gains available through the appropriate fuel-specific calibration.

APR has validated the system with impressive acceleration results, including a 3.12-second 0–60 MPH time, an 11.16-second quarter-mile pass at 123 MPH at 3,000 feet of density altitude, and a 9.55-second 60–130 MPH run. The combination has also demonstrated the potential for 10-second quarter-mile performance at sea level under suitable conditions.

Designed for MQB EVO all-wheel-drive vehicles, the system incorporates proprietary launch-control torque management to help optimize power delivery and traction. APR Fuel Pressure Protection monitoring and safeguard strategies provide additional protection by monitoring fuel-system operating conditions.

The turbo system is designed for plug-and-play compatibility with the stock downpipe, with the supplied emissions-related configuration identified by APR. An upgraded intake and intercooler are required for the intended performance results, and the advertised gains were demonstrated using APR hardware. Customers upgrading an existing APR ECU/TCU software setup from a lower stage may qualify for included software when moving to the APR Stage 3 calibration, subject to APR's applicable upgrade requirements.

Whether you're building a street-focused performance vehicle or pursuing serious acceleration improvements, the APR Stage 3+ PowerMax Turbo and Port Injection System delivers an integrated turbocharging, fueling, and software solution for compatible EA888 Gen 4 applications.
