What power does the APR GT2563S Turbocharger System add?

APR measured 127 to 193 wheel horsepower and 96 to 145 lb-ft of wheel torque over a stock 2022 US Golf R, depending on octane. The APR GT2563S Turbocharger System reached those figures with an APR intake and intercooler on the factory exhaust and fueling.

Does the APR MK8 Golf R turbo kit need a new exhaust or fueling?

No. APR designed the system to reach its targets on the factory exhaust and fueling, with no extra sensors. It does call for the APR intake and intercooler to achieve the published figures, and the calibration stays within the limits of the factory sensors and fuel system.

Is software included with the APR S3 PowerMax turbo?

Yes. The kit includes an upgrade to APR Stage 3 engine and transmission software from a lower stage. Software compatibility must be checked before purchase, so contact us with your vehicle details. High and low torque versions are offered to respect transmission limits.

How is the APR Arteon turbo kit protected?

APR calibrated within Garrett limits for exhaust gas temperature and shaft speed, and added protection for LSPI, knock, shaft speed and exhaust gas temperature. APR also advises halving the factory oil change interval and using a high performance oil at the factory weight.

How does the Garrett GT2563S compare with the factory turbo?

The Garrett turbo in the APR GT2563S Turbocharger System gives 20 percent more compressor flow and 37 percent more turbine flow than the factory Continental turbo. It uses a Mar-M turbine wheel and a stainless turbine housing rated for 1050 C, and bolts straight in.

Description

APR Stage 3 PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System for MK8 Golf R, S3 and Arteon

The APR Stage 3 PowerMax GT2563S Turbocharger System is a direct bolt-on turbo upgrade for the EA888.4 2.0T in the MK8 Golf R, 8Y S3 and Arteon. A Garrett PowerMax GT2563S replaces the factory Continental turbo, with 20 percent more compressor flow and 37 percent more turbine flow, and the kit includes the install hardware and an upgrade to APR Stage 3 engine and transmission software. APR built it to reach its power targets on the factory exhaust and fueling, with only an APR intake and intercooler added.

The Turbocharger

The Garrett unit uses compressor and turbine aero developed for this application, a Mar-M alloy turbine wheel and a stainless turbine housing rated for 1050 C, a fully machined speed sensor port and a thrust bearing reinforced for the job. It bolts in as a direct replacement.

The Software

APR spent months calibrating Stage 3 to Garrett limits on exhaust gas temperature and shaft speed, within the limits of the factory sensors and fueling. Protection covers LSPI, knock, shaft speed and exhaust gas temperature, and high and low torque versions respect transmission limits where a Stage 3 TCU upgrade is not an option.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
