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 328-375 HP and 391-427 FT-LBS with +63-105 WHP and +96-129 WFT-LBS over stock. By adding hardware such as our intake and intercooler, the tune automatically jumps to Stage 2 power levels and produces 345-392 HP and 391-428 FT-LBS with +76-122 WHP and +96-131 WFT-LBS over stock.
Torque Options:
Full output and limited torque 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. For manual transmission vehicles, limited torque files will help alleviate stress on the factory clutch.
Fuel Grades:
This tune is available for 87, 91, 93, 100, and 104 AKI fuel grades, as well as E60-E85 Ethanol in North America and 91, 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.

Warning: 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.
