Also it is fun being right. Our analysis of the way they released the kit was spot on.
Why did they release those hail Mary ricer passes on race gas and no interior and no exhaust and slicks and a non production pulley?
Because everything else fucking sucked. And they (Apr and magnusson) knew it.
From where I sit and based on crews reply Magnuson is stuck with a bunch of these and just said fuck it…we are selling them. They aren’t selling very well on the rs4 or r8 probably because there’s hardly any rs4s or r8s but also because we know of like 5 cars with the kit and none have gone smoothly.
The b8 3.0t was the last hope. Unfortunately a small V6 doesn’t seem to work driving a supercharger that GM is using on 6.2 litre V8 lol. That might have been a clue when the only oem application is an engine that is more than double the displacement.
Str8blst - his car was randomly stalling and having trouble. Couldn’t pass readiness emissions.
The original test car (customer from chicago) had its motor blown at least once and sources at Apr said more than once…and this was AFTER the kit was released for full retail release.
Meem’s car blew the motor within a couple weeks of install…then when he dynod the car on the new full compression replacement engine it made only 450 whp (vs the 500+ claimed by apr)
That guy in socal who lost compression after a few months and surmised the piston rings were fried.
Flyingbagofdildoes - got paid to sell the kit so who cares what he says, although we do know he bought a replacement engine and we do know his car created a bad smokeshow at a car show (out the exhaust not the tires) and it had to be trailered 300 miles home . We also know he ran 11.28@125 in - 2800 feet of da which would be 11.70@121 at 0 feet of DA. In line with Meem’s shit dyno results.
You can add my old S5 to the 1740 list, apparently a few thousand km after I sold it the motor let go… I was told it was piston rings, he replaced it with a second hand unit and then it let go again from what I hear.
