APR Stage 3 PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System

If you're looking to unleash some serious power from your MQB/MQB Evo 2.0T Ea888.4 engine, like in the MK8 Golf R, S3, or Arteon, then the APR Stage 3 PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System is your ticket. This isn't just a bolt-on; it's a game changer. With the Garrett turbocharger at its heart, this system is designed to crank out an impressive 478-543 HP and 409-435 FT-LBS of torque, depending on your octane choice. And guess what? You don’t need a ton of extra aftermarket parts—just an intake and intercooler will do the trick.

What makes the Garrett PowerMax GT2563S stand out? For starters, it boasts a 20% increase in compressor flow and a 37% boost in turbine flow compared to the stock Continental turbo. That means you get more air moving through your engine, which translates to more power. The turbine wheel is made from a Mar-M alloy that can handle up to 1050°C, so you know it’s built to last, even under extreme conditions.

APR has really put in the work on the software side too. The Stage 3 upgrade is tailored to hit those power numbers with just your intake and intercooler—no need for expensive exhaust mods or emissions-busting tweaks. Plus, the software is designed to keep everything running smoothly while respecting your engine's limits. You can choose between high and low torque configurations, which is great if you’re not ready to jump into a full TCU upgrade yet.

And let's talk reliability. APR's engineers spent countless hours fine-tuning the calibration to ensure a fun, exhilarating drive without putting your engine at risk. The software includes safety measures for various factors like knock, turbo shaft speed, and exhaust gas temperature, so you can enjoy the extra power without worrying about premature wear on your components.

In terms of fitment, this kit is made for the Audi S3 (22-24), Volkswagen Arteon (22-24), and Golf R (22-24). It’s a straightforward install with all the necessary hardware included, making it a plug-and-play upgrade with your stock setup. Just a heads up, it clears 33s with minor trimming if you're looking to beef up your stance.
