With no other mods than an APR Turbo-Back Exhaust, the kit made 242hp/268lb-ft on 91 octane gas, and 245hp/275lb-ft on 93 octane gas. Although the exhaust is not required, it is highly recommended.

In independent testing, NGP has seen as much as 220whp / 275wtq+ with the APR K04 programming while running a standard K04-01, APR Turbo inlet hose, intercooler, intake, and exhaust.

The Mk4 GTI / Jetta 1.8t ECU can be upgraded via DirectPort Programming or EMCS hard chip programming depending on the ECU. For more information on your options, please contact NGP Racing at info@ngpracing.com. For more information on the ECU upgrade, please see the charts below.
