Frequently asked questions
What is APR tuning?
APR is an American tuning brand that has been developing software and hardware for VW Group cars for decades. Their ECU software is some of the most well-known in the VAG tuning world, covering everything from entry level Stage 1 remaps through to full turbo upgrade packages. The APR performance hardware range runs alongside the software and the two are developed to complement each other. It's a brand that serious VAG enthusiasts tend to come back to.
Is APR performance worth it?
For VAG cars, yes. APR tuning software has a strong track record and the hardware is developed to the same standard. The products sit above the generic aftermarket on price but the quality and development behind them justifies it. If you're building a car properly rather than just bolting bits on, APR performance parts are a sensible investment.
APR vs RacingLine - which should I choose?
Both are solid options and both are available at Awesome. APR tuning tends to chase stronger peak numbers and has a broader hardware range covering everything from turbos to big brake kits alongside the software.
