Thats a great price for what your getting. Is there any discounts for guys who had the old kit.
Are you guys going to be offering switching for the rs4 ecu or is that technology not available for that ecu yet.
Those are great numbers. Anything over 600 is impressive. Thats crank correct. Over 200 crank hp over stock.
This is so important in my books. I can’ t believe someone would spend thousands on a system that has’t been tested properly like this. Congrats on all accounts.
Damn these cars are in supercar territory with this kit.
I think the RS4 is the hottest used car on the market. For the price plus a s/c kit you get an awesome looking car, awesome tech, awesome interior, handling, etc with supercar power. That you can drive 365 days of the year reliably.
Or for the same money get a bolt on gtr which is leagues nicer of a car and run into the 9s lol
Or for the same money buy a modded 1 ton Cummins Ram and break 1000 ft-lbs of torque man.
WTF. Who are you?
Definitely not “leagues nicer” by any stretch of the imagination.
Congrats to APR on another impressive kit!
Hey the pussy ass bitch is back
He is the local AR pussy ass bitch
Although I like GTRs, they don’t come close to the fit and finish of an RS4. The also take little to no driver skill, which is another reason why 3Ldickbeater is a fan.
Any specific examples of kits not being tested?
Someone alteady lost this argument on here. Wannabe next?
lets use the jhm kit , which when measured like for like was actually a fraction faster than APR.
Rs4 for 30,000
Jhm stage 2 for 12,000
Exhaust/clutch/ flywheel for 5,000
Total 47,000
You can’t even buy a gtr for that …not to mention the fact the gtr is ugly, is horrible as a car to drive daily, and feels cheap as fuck when you sit inside it.
The gtr is a fantastic performer no doubt but only a moron would rebut meistah, who referenced the RS4 exterior looks, interior quality and the ability to drive it year round…with a GTR. Not to mention you’re abiut $20,000 short and even then you would own a stock 2008 GTR which is actually SLOWER than the rs4.
Nice work APR! Can’t wait to strap one of these on to my lowly B8 S4 and see what it does…
Depending how many people will pay $20,000 for this, you may be waiting a while B8 guys
I’m pretty sure they will move forward either way… If I can’t have one by early/mid spring then I give the car to my wife and buy a new toy, just not sure what yet…
Normally if someone sells a kit, the buyer needs to pay $1500 for the software. We’re now allowing the person selling the kit to include software in the bundle to increase the value of their kit.
Switching through the cruise control stalk didn’t work with the dual ECU cars. It’s possible with more time spent on it, engineering could figure it out.
The plan was to offer switching with APR Mobile. However, even though I’m told it’s coming soon (and have been for years), I’m have no desire to let people actually think it is.
626 is what we’re estimating it’s making at the crank. Here’s what it spit out on our dyno:
Investment was already made. We’re not going to delay release if the RS4 kit doesn’t sell well. Also, let’s not kid ourselves, it’s 2014, we don’t expect the same volume as our previous kit at all. However, our first day sales were pretty darn good. It would be great to keep up the same momentum worldwide as we did with the last kit, but if not, it doesn’t really change anything. : )

I meant the opposite. If this is selling well, why rudh to sell a B8 kit until most of your work is done on the RS4 market?
Not sure if you guys manufacture it yourself but if you don’t (and from the looks of the product I’d say you don’t, it comes to you primarily made and you assemble various parts) I’m not sure but I would assume making one type of product at a time is most economical for your manufacturer unless they have the ability to be tooled up to make any of 3 or 4 kits (RS4, RS5, B8 S4, R8)
so…what’s the next toy 
Arin, how many hours on average do you think it will take an APR authorized shop to install this kit?
Honestly, not sure… Depends on a few things, really hoping to keep going with the S4 and TTRS next year but… Off the top of my head the short list is…
RS5
R8
GTR
911 TT
New Mustang GT or GT500
Probably a few others I am missing… Really hoping to get the wife into a Q5 or something ditch her A4, give my degenerate brother the VW and start daily driving the S4 and then getting one of the above but again if I can’t get a blower upgrade soon that will change… Time will tell…
I’m not following… Why would we wait? We’re not in this game to make a buck and go home. Inventory needs to be sold rather than sitting on the shelf so we can make more money. The money we make then goes directly back into the company and pays for other projects on the horizon, new equipment, and hiring more employees. It’s a constant process of reinvesting in the company. : )
Eaton will not sell the rotating groupes to anyone but Magnuson, Roush, Edbelbrock and Harrop, so everyone has to partner with one of them to make a supercharger. Also, we don’t own a foundry on site or anything like that. So Magnuson handles casting, assembling, and testing the units before they are shipped to us.
Tough question. Every shop will be different. Basically it’s just like the last kit. It’s probably around 12-16 hours based on experience and everything else going on. If someone is new, they’ll likely go slowly through the directions to make sure it’s right. If someone’s going fast, they can get it done quicker (is that what you want though?). Most shops will likely work with you on the price and install time based on their own schedule, and more importantly, if you actually purchased the unit from them. Just dropping a unit off at someone elses door would likely mean a more expensive install.
If you came here, we would spend time looking the car over before doing the install. That would include doing and charging for a carbon cleaning, compression test, etc. We’ll then install the kit and after drive the car, log it, make sure everythings running right. Doing so would take a couple days.
