πŸ₯Ά Turbo Blue S3 8Y πŸ₯Ά 440BHP πŸš€

Here at APS we’re making moves with the Gen4 platform recently, all the way from our STG 1 ECU & TCU calibrations through to full Stage 3+ (E85) builds.

This stunning Audi S3 8Y finished in Turbo Blue is now pushing a serious 440BHP and it’s only just getting started πŸ‘€

The EA888 Gen 4 platform is proving to be an absolute weapon. With improved factory hardware, we’re seeing huge gains while keeping drivability OEM+. Paired with our custom ECU & TCU calibration, the power delivery is relentless yet refined exactly

We’re seeing stronger and stronger results from the VAG MQB Evo platform, and it’s quickly proving itself as one of the best modern 2.0T bases to build from. The streets are getting quicker, and this Gen4 wave is only just beginning 🌊

Who’s going Stage 3+ next? 😈

Don’t forget - we supply a huge range of OEM and aftermarket performance parts, along with servicing and tuning for a wide variety of makes and models. Contact us today and let us know what you need! πŸ‘πŸ»
