APR ECU UPGRADE STAGES
We're excited to announce our Engine Control Unit (ECU) Upgrades are now available for the Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport with the 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 4 engine with the Continental Simos 19 ECU!

APR's new suite of Simos 19 ECU software comes after months of extensive research and development that is typically absent from the aftermarket. APR's upgrade makes the engine more powerful and more exciting. APR has extensively calibrated the system to work flawlessly in various driving conditions while retaining safety routines to protect your engine in the most demanding scenarios. This was all made possible by APR's engineering team's pursuit of perfection. Development vehicles were outfitted with additional sensors, including turbo shaft speed sensors, thermocouples, transducers, and more, along with our high speed direct RAM logging equipment, to feed valuable data to the team for analysis. After many hours of testing and tuning, APR created new calibrations that are fine tuned for several octanes and contain hundreds of map changes, with a vast array of safety features built in.
The result of this work is nothing short of astounding. Not only has APR increased power, they've also added many safety routines to ensure the engine and components are protected under demanding scenarios. Additionally APR has added features to enhance the driving experience! They've added brake boosting / left foot braking, removed the vehicle speed limiter, raised the standing limiter, set auto start/stop to retain your last used mode, properly rescaled the boost and power gauges, developed a linear and flat torque curve, and linearized the throttle pedal.
To protect the engine and components APR has spent a considerable amount of time tuning safety routines, some of which were not active from the factory. The engine has advanced LSPI protection to prevent the engine from damage when being lugged in the tallest gears. Excessive intake air temperature, which is common on a dynamometer, will cause power to reduce to protect the engine. Furthermore more they have added and calibrated protection routines for turbocharger pressure ratios, shaft speed, exhaust pressure, intake air temperature, turbo discharge temperature, coolant temperature, oil temperature, lambda, fueling system limitations, and more.
OEM Turbocharger Software
APR's ECU Upgrades are available in multiple configurations. Installation of additional performance hardware, such as an intercooler or intake systems, may provide further performance improvements.
The APR Stage 1 ECU upgrades are designed for use on the factory turbocharger. The ECU alone with no hardware mods produces 298-339 HP and 325-366 FT-LBS with +38-38 AWHP and +52-75 AWFT-LBS over stock.
This tune is available for 87, 91, 93, 100, and 104 AKI fuel grades, as well as E60-E85 Ethanol in North America and 91, 95, 98, 104, and 108 RON fuel grades, and E60-E85 Ethanol in the ROW.
APR Plus is optionally available and adds their limited powertrain warranty to this stage. It's available for 87 or 91 AKI fuel grades in the USA and requires the use of original factory or APR approved hardware only.
When selecting a fuel grade, a minimum of that fuel grade must be used. Using higher fuel grades is permissible.
