APR DTR6054 Direct Turbocharger Replacement System

[Salami]

@Arin@APR Will my DSG need a revision as it currently has your TCU tune?
19 Golf R
DQ381

Yes, there is a specific tune for the DSG when using the DTR kit. The tune allows for higher shift points to take advantage of the turbo's power curve.

The tune is free since you already have their tcu tune.

Arin can answer the other questions.

 

[Arin@APR]

DQ381 - We have DTR specific files. You should see more power with this turbo than the stock turbo.

I have the same questions about how this compares to stage 2 HO since that isn't supported anymore. That tune was the perfect mix of torque and HP IMO

My 2016 w/ stage 2 HO was totaled and I had to buy a new 2019 and am starting the tuning process over again

You don't live in Cali, just buy Cobb and choose a from an ocean of tunes available...

Version 1.3 is now available for the APR DTR6054 Turbocharger System for MK7/7.5 GTI, GLI, A3, and TT platform vehicles! This update brings a host of improvements to power delivery and protection routines that may have artificially limited power on some vehicles in some situations on the previous versions. Furthermore, this update also brings a tweak to our DQ381 7 Speed DSG software to improve acceleration in some situations. Both updates are now available at all APR dealers. This is a free update, including typical labor at APR dealers – Just have your dealer contact APR with any questions related to billing.

Please note, the updates are not necessary or applicable to the DQ250 6 Speed transmission TCUs, or the MK7/7.5 Golf R/S3/TTS platform ECUs.

Support for ECUs outside of the USA and Canada are set to release in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

The APR DTR6054 now supports the ROW / European / Non-USA/Canada Markets!

Details
https://goapr.io/rowdtr

This ROW release is designed for use on Rest of World (ROW) / European / Non-USA / Non-Canadian market vehicles that feature a 2.0T EA888.3 engine with an IS20 factory turbocharger. Typical vehicles include the MQB Audi A3, Q3, S1, SQ2, and TT, VW Jetta / GLI, Golf GTI, and Tiguan, Skoda Octavia, Seat Leon, and more with manual and DSG/S-Tronic transmissions. This includes both Simos 18 and Simos 18.10 ECUs, and both GPF/OPF and Non-GPF/OPF based vehicles. Software support for IS38 factory turbocharger based vehicles such as the MQB Golf R, S3, and similar platform vehicles are still in development but not available at this time.

Please note:

Specific software is required to use this system. Software is included for various vehicles. Software compatibility must be checked before purchase. If no software is found, a software request must be made and filled before purchase. The software installs to your vehicle's factory ECU. Software can only be installed by an Authorized APR dealer.

This system reuses your factory electronic wastegate and electronic diverter valve. To safely achieve the advertised power use an upgraded Intake and Intercooler. To prevent clutch slip use our transmission software or a manual clutch upgrade. Use APR spark plugs or NGK heat range 9 (NGKR7437-9) spark plugs gapped to 0.024" ±0.002" or 0.6mm ±0.05mm with a change interval of 10-15,000 mi or 16-24,000 km. Always use a high performance oil with more frequent change intervals.

To fit this system with APR Compressor Outlet Pipes, use the APR DTR6054 Compressor Outlet Hose Conversion Kit (MS100213).

Couple Questions- I see the kit listed for $1,499 but on the website the price $1,667 is crossed out, is that higher price going to be the new price going forward, if so when?

Also, if I want the AWD file, do I just request that to be flashed when I take the car to the local APR dealer to get tuned or do I have to request a specific code for it from APR when I order the turbo kit?

Price - no idea - just tell the shop that you want the AWD file. The code is a blanket code for all of the ECU files associated with the kit.

That threw me off too when I went to buy mine. I bought mine off of Modded Euros. $1,500 without any extra charge.

Awesome, that's easy enough! Thanks for the clarification

ECS shows it for $1,499 still as well, but I saw FCP actually carries the kit and they have it listed for $1,622 so I think we might see a price increase come the new year. Was thinking of pulling the trigger on one at the lower pricing while I can but spending a little more to have the FCP lifetime warranty might be worth it.
