Expect massive gains with up to 398-455 HP with 385-436 FT-LBS of torque on tap, depending on octane and mods! Additionally APR Plus is available which adds a factory term limit matching limited powertrain warranty and is offered on our 91 AKI ECU upgrades!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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, depending on fuel grade. 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, depending on fuel grade. Adding more mods will increase power further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor manual transmission vehicles, this file helps alleviate stress on the factory clutch.
