Took the APR RS5 to the drag strip (APR Stage 1 vs Stock) - 93 octane

I’ll need a new PBOX before I can do that. It refuses to write to the cards anymore. I’ve tried everything… just doesn’t work. : (

It’s highly likely the B8 RS4 will be the same ECU wise. We’ll just need to get our hands on it first before making that call.

Shoot me the link. I may not have seen it.

Nope, you got it, thanks, Arin.

Is that a spare light bulb in the trunk?

Very nice, Im excite to see numbers with the new supercharger development!

At $799 for everything you get for this tune its a steal!

Yeah, there was a set of bulbs and some other light junk in the trunk. :wink:

I love the nerd on A5oc who is saying your track is artificially fast. He’s that monkey who got a PES kit for half price in exchange for whoring it on the forums…and now he is a PES sales rep for the UK.

So of course he tries to trash talk APR and the RS5 results. I think he’s just embarrassed that his 4.2 S5 with a $12,500 PES supercharger kit is running the same times as a BONE STOCK RS5. He has done lots of RS5 trash talking on the A5oc forum over there. This must hurt like fuck.

Clearly the key to success in the Audi tuning world is going to a track while doing other chores/with junk like some light bulbs or a baby seat.

^^^well before we annoint APR ‘succesful’, I’d like to see what the RS5 does with a tune+cat mod or catback mod. Picking up 1.5 tenths and 1.5 MPH is nice, but isn’t really that great (no offense Arin).

12.27 sounds awesome to me, but we can’t forget it ran 12.43 bone stock. Just because you’re born on third base, doesn’t mean you hit a triple :slight_smile:

There’s likely MUCH more in the car if you address the weaknesses in the system, and the tune should be able to take advantage of that. Hopefully APR and a few other companies do so through time.

very nice Arin. but i hate you cuz you make me want an rs5 real bad

True enough Saki I guess the mod has to be really good to risk the $$$ and the td1 flag and potential warranty issues

wonderful to see APR really getting past the old pass off of here is a dyno sheet. I love to see the effort. It would be even better to see the RS5 in the 11s.

Arin is this live tuning something that is going to be said by other tuners. I know how valuable that is and it seems APR is just like JHM in the fact that they set the trend and others try to claim the same. I have always been in love with how APR is well ahead of the curve

Great da, tune, decat, and the RS5 is in the elevens comfortably.

May not even need the decat.

In most cases I highly doubt it. Some of the ‘big’ names still use vag-com for logging.

;D ;D

Don’t you guys have a drag strip out front of your facility?! I’m just not too sure if the smokies would appreciate you setting up trees out there :wink:

Congrats can’t wait to see more out of this!!
