Overview

The APR ECU upgrade is an engine control unit calibration for the 2.0T EA888 Gen 1 engine. This upgrade is flashed through the OBD-II port without modifying the factory ECU. It optimizes boost pressure, ignition timing, and other parameters to increase power and torque across the entire power band.

Show original supplier description

The APR Stage 1 ECU Upgrade is a performance enhancement for the 2.0L turbocharged EA888 Gen 3 engine found in select Volkswagen models. This upgrade targets the engine control unit (ECU) to optimize performance parameters. This specific ECU upgrade, part number DPP-2.0TSI-GN3-MK6-SP, is designed for the 2013-2015 Volkswagen GLI and New Beetle. It is intended to provide increased horsepower and torque. The product is sold for racing or off-road use only, and its installation on emissions-controlled vehicles intended for highway use is illegal. To utilize this upgrade, customers must either purchase a JHM Flashing cable (SKU JHM-TuCable) for self-installation or have the ECU professionally flashed by a service department. The product is explicitly stated as being for racing competition only and is not legal for use on public streets or highways. Purchasers acknowledge and agree to use this product solely for racing applications. This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, as detailed on www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
