Unlock the full potential of your Audi RS3 or TTRS with the new APR DTR8563 Turbocharger System—a direct bolt-on upgrade designed for enthusiasts who want serious power without the hassle and expense of major engine modifications. With just an APR intake and intercooler, you’ll see up to 672 HP and 544 FT-LBS of torque without requiring modifications to the engine internals, exhaust, fueling, or sensors! This means you get brutal performance without compromising reliability or your budget. It’s power designed to dominate the streets, not your wallet.
At APR, we know the chase for horsepower can get expensive. We’ve engineered high-power setups that push the limits of what’s possible, but they’ve always required costly upgrades and ongoing tweaks to fuel systems, sensors, and even engine internals. The thrill was real, but so were the costs. And the results? Often fleeting—price and risk of engine failure for more power kept climbing.
This time, we’ve done things differently. The DTR8563 Turbocharger redefines the balance between performance and practicality, making it the perfect choice for enthusiasts who demand reliable, exhilarating power without turning their cars into high-maintenance race machines. This turbocharger delivers street-legal performance that’s easy to install—no need to open up your engine, overhaul the fuel system, or even modify the exhaust. Its exceptional transient turbo response ensures smooth driving around town, while stepping on the throttle unleashes brutal acceleration that pins you to your seat and climbs relentlessly to the 7,500 RPM redline. This setup delivers staggering results: 0-60 MPH in 2.x seconds, low 10.x-second quarter-mile passes at 13x MPH, and high 6.x-second 60-130 MPH runs—all achievable on the street without gutting your car or relying on specialized racing tires and surfaces like those typically found on record-setting passes. Designed for both practicality and performance, the DTR8563 brings more torque, more power, and more fun to your drive—all without compromises.
The APR DTR8563 system includes everything you need for a seamless upgrade: a complete drop-in turbocharger, the turbo inlet adapter ring for our intake inlet, all necessary gaskets and o-rings, plus a free upgrade to our Stage 3 engine and transmission tuning software from our lower stages. With just our intake and intercooler, you’ll hit impressive power figures, while still keeping compatibility with other APR modifications.
INCLUDED SOFTWARE POLICY: This kit includes an upgrade to the APR Stage 3 ECU/TCU for free. If the vehicle is not already tuned with an APR ECU/TCU Upgrade you will need to purchase a lower stage ECU, and TCU. Specific software is required to use this system. Software compatibility must be checked before purchase & install. To get the advertised request, use a the APR Intake and APR Intercooler system. Factory 10,000 mile oil intervals are excessive. Cut oil intervals in half. To add an additional layer of protection, use a high performance oil (such as LIQUI MOLY) matching the factory weight and minimum factory specs. Use APR Iridium Pro or equivalent heat range spark plugs such as those from NGK.
