Stage One consists of a well proven and thoroughly developed ECU remap, which raises peak power to 308 bhp, which is offered at the enticing price of just £445.00 including VAT and fitting in APS's multi award-winning workshop.

Careful development and optimisation work has now enabled APS to launch a Stage 2 package, including a Milltek large bore turbo down pipe, high flow sports catalyst and a choice of Milltek stainless steel sports exhausts, featuring a switchable electronic exhaust valve, 2.75 inch bore tubing and dual 100mm ceramic black tailpipes.

Stage 2 Golf R upgrade customers can choose between a Milltek non-resonated cat-back system which emphasises performance and aural excitement, or a resonated Milltek cat back exhaust which majors on refinement and also benefits from EC type approval. Due to the gasflow efficiencies realised by the Milltek Sport exhaust system the APS Stage 2 VW Golf R upgrade raises peak power to approximately 320-330bhp depending on exhaust selection. Priced from £1999.00 fitted including VAT, the APS Stage 2 VW Golf R upgrade is available now, with a Stage 3 package - complete with a revised turbocharger and 350 bhp capability - in development.

In addition to the power upgrades, APS's has a range of chassis upgrades for the VW Golf R include:-

Three way adjustable Haldex Gen4 four wheel drive controller
Sports lowering springs KW height and damping adjustable coilover suspension
Uprated suspension bushes
Brembo GT big brake kits
18 and 19 inch Sportec Mono 10 forged alloy wheels with Toyo tyres
