Revolutionize the way you tune your vehicle with Ultralink, the cutting-edge device that puts the power of APR Engine Control Unit (ECU) and Transmission Control Unit (TCU) Upgrades right at your fingertips, all from the comfort of your own home. Say goodbye to the hassle of dealer visits and complicated installations. With Ultralink, tuning your car has never been easier or more convenient.
The APR Stage 1 and Stage 2 ECU upgrades are designed for use on the factory turbocharger. The ECU alone with no hardware mods produces 398-442 HP and 385-430 FT-LBS with +64-112 WHP and +76-118 WFT-LBS over stock. By adding hardware such as our intake and intercooler, the tune automatically jumps to Stage 2 power levels and produces 410-455 HP and 389-436 FT-LBS with +74-123 WHP and +80-125 WFT-LBS over stock.
Torque Options:
Full output and limited torque files are available. Additionally TCU Upgrade specific files are available.
Transmission:
Transmission software is not required to use the full output files. On DSG/S-Tronic equipped vehicles, our TCU upgrade will maximize performance and produce faster acceleration results among other enhancements when combined with the TCU specific file. For manual transmission vehicles, limited torque files will help alleviate stress on the factory clutch.
Fuel Grades:
This tune is available for 91, 93, 100, and 104 AKI fuel grades, as well as E60-E85 Ethanol in North America and 95, 98, 104, and 108 RON fuel grades, and E60-E85 Ethanol in the ROW. When selecting a fuel grade, a minimum of that fuel grade must be used. Using higher fuel grades is permissible.
Hardware Requirements:
No hardware is required for Stage 1 software. Adding the APR Intake and Intercooler will automatically results in higher Stage 2 output.
APR Plus Warranty:
APR Plus is optionally available and adds our limited powertrain warranty to this stage. It's available for a minimum of 91 AKI fuel in the USA/Canada and requires the use of original factory or APR approved hardware only.

Warning: Low torque files are necessary on manual transmission vehicles using the factory clutch. Low torque files are also necessary on DSG/S-Tronic vehicles unless running our TCU upgrade. Only use fuel equal to or higher than specified. Never use a lower octane fuel. Always follow our fuel guide, especially with race fuel and Ethanol, where available. Dynos are for reference only. Results will vary. Contributing factors include the vehicle condition, vehicle setup, dyno type, dyno setup, environmental factors, fuel quality, and more. When describing fuels, the North American Region (NAR) uses the Anti-Knock Index (AKI), (RON+MON)/2, or (R+M)/2. The Rest of the World (ROW) uses RON. RON is Research Octane Number and MON is Motor Octane Number. Please Note: Each vehicle's year, make, and model may have multiple factory engine or transmission controller software part numbers, known as box codes, each with unique revisions. Manufacturers periodically release software updates that alter this information, which can only be determined by scanning the controller and is not publicly provided. Due to the variety of codes, some stages, octane levels, features, or options may not be available for specific codes. Therefore, our website provides a general guide based on general info such as Year, Make, and Model. Our system allows you to request unavailable software, and we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
