Volkswagen Golf R Stage 2 with 330hp by APS

APS of Brackley is pleased to unveil a range of performance, dynamic and styling components for owners of the 275 bhp Volkswagen Golf R seeking bespoke, high quality enhancements. APS can now offer two stages of performance tuning for the 2.0-litre TFSI, all-wheel drive Golf R.

Stage One consists of a well proven and thoroughly developed ECU remap, which raises peak power to 308 bhp.

Due to the gasflow efficiencies realised by the Milltek Sport exhaust system the APS Stage 2 VW Golf R upgrade raises peak power to approximately 320-330bhp depending on exhaust selection. The APS Stage 2 VW Golf R upgrade is available now, with a Stage 3 package – complete with a revised turbocharger and 350 bhp capability – in development.

See how easy is it to get another 70+hp from a Turbo motor? Try that with an N/A engine.

Is this advertising or news? Anyone with a GTi knows they can swap out the turbo for a K04, tune the ECU and get around 300HP crank for about $2500.

Golf R comes with the K04 turbo stock making it very easy to simply finagle the ECU as you said and get a good gain without touching internals, exhaust, etc.

No idea who APS is, but APR offers a Stage I which is essentially an ECU reflash that boosts the power of the R to just over 320hp.
