R you ready?

The Golf R is on it’s way. Some have already taken delivery of their beasts. But, as with any Factory VW, it begs for more.

RPI Equipped has already begun shipping out H&R Suspension upgrades and LED Tails for some customers. Yes, we were just as disappointed to hear that the Golf R would NOT be factory equipped with the OEM LED tails.

We’ve also come up with the perfect wheel spacer combo for those of you who are planning to run the factory wheels for the foreseeable future. We have two spacer kits available for the Golf R on our Online Store.

Head over to our Online Store and check out the goodies already available and shipping out for your Golf R!

K-O Four.

Now in stock. K04 upgrade kit for TSI Engines from APR Tuned.

Complete with hardware, this OEM BorgWarner K04 is the perfect way to up the ante with your TSI equipped Audi or VW. Coupled with the APR ECU flash and APR’s RSC Exhaust system this kit will take your engine from the factory tuned 216HP to a neck snapping 366HP, and the torque numbers jump from a modest 238TQ up to a tire shredding 380TQ.

Head over to our Online Store to order your own K04 upgrade kit!

Brembo GT Brake kit

jonny — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:20:42 +0000

Well, Brembo has done it again. A big brake kit that hits a price point that brings the Brembo brand into the realm of brake solutions for enthusiasts on a bit of a budget. The Brembo GT kit for the MK5/6 and Audi A3 uses a 4 piston cast caliper and a 330mm one piece rotor, which means it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to replace the rotors when it comes time to do a brake job!

Bonus… It fits behind the factory 18′s and most 17′s without spacers.

Brembo gives you a choice between Red, Black, and Silver caliper finishes and a choice of either Slotted or Drilled rotors.

Check these out on our online store here and make sure you get your set before the track days start up this spring.

Equipped for late night drives

Our Project GTI on a late night drive through downtown Vancouver.

New speed.

Richard came to us last week. He’s been having issues with his Miltek exhaust since he installed about a year ago. I guess the weather and the rattling and vibrations finally got to him. He came to us and was tired of constantly dealing with his exhaust vibrating on heat shields and exhaust tunnels. We got him a Techtonics Tuning downpipe and a Neuspeed Catback system to combat the fitment issues of his Miltek system. Needless to say, the fitment of the Neuspeed and Techtonics products never cease to amaze. The install is straight forward, and the fitment is bang on. Even the tips lined up on the first try.

More goodies for the Project GTI

I guess it’s ok that our Turbo kit is held up somewhere on a derailed train. We have some suspension to install care of the handsome outfit over at Bilstein now.

PSS-10 anyone? Whatchu know about adjustability!?

Chip Foose loves VW!

Seems everyone has a special place in their heart for VW, including Hot Rod legend Chip Foose.

VIDEO | APR Turbo Back Exhaust

jonny — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:31:34 +0000

We’ve had a few customers ask us what the interior sound of the APR Exhaust system is like. At normal highway and city speeds, there really isn’t any droning. A customer of ours just had a full exhaust installed along with a Carbonio Stage 2 intake, so we got an interior video for you of what it sounds like.

Carbonio Stage 2 and a Turboback to go please.

George dropped by with his MK6 GTI this morning. Gave us the keys, and left.

We decided to get a little productive and ended up installing a Carbonio Stg 2 Intake, an APR Turboback Exhaust system and an ECU program to go with it.

See for yourself.

As nice as the factory system looks… It just doesn’t cut it for us.

Ahhh. Much better.

Just the tip. Just a little bit.

Nice airbox… I guess.

Oh. Well that’s nice!
