APR Dealer in Wichita, KS

Authorized APR Dealer

The Industry Leader in VW & Audi Performance

Your Volkswagen or Audi was engineered with performance margins built in. Factory software is calibrated conservatively to meet global emissions standards and account for varying fuel qualities worldwide. APR ECU tuning recalibrates these parameters for your specific conditions, releasing power that's already there.

As an authorized APR dealer in Wichita, we provide professional ECU and TCU tuning backed by the industry leader in Volkswagen and Audi performance. Whether you want a subtle improvement in throttle response or significant power gains, we offer solutions ranging from bolt-on Stage 1 tunes to full Stage 3 builds.

APR has been setting the standard for Volkswagen and Audi performance since 1997. Their calibrations are developed on their own fleet of test vehicles and validated on chassis dynos under real-world conditions.

Industry-Leading Performance

APR ECU & TCU Tuning

The global leader in Volkswagen and Audi performance software since 1997.

ECU Tuning

APR's ECU upgrades recalibrate boost pressure, ignition timing, fuel delivery, and throttle mapping. Expect 20-40% power gains on Stage 1 with a completely stock vehicle. Higher stages unlock even more with supporting modifications.

TCU Tuning

Transform your DSG or S tronic transmission with APR TCU upgrades. Experience faster, smoother shifts with increased torque capacity. Launch control, flat-foot shifting, and optimized shift points make every drive more engaging.

Multiple Stages

Stage 1 works with your stock car. Stage 2 adds supporting mods like intakes and intercoolers. Stage 3 involves turbo upgrades and fuel system enhancements. We help you choose the right path for your goals.

Switchable Maps

APR's exclusive switching technology lets you toggle between performance modes using your cruise control stalk. Run a high-octane map for spirited driving or switch to stock mode for dealer visits.

APR Plus Warranty

Supporting Modifications

Performance Hardware

We install the supporting modifications needed for Stage 2+ tunes.

Intake Systems

High-flow intake systems reduce restriction and allow your turbo to breathe freely. We install APR and other quality intake systems that complement your tune and add that satisfying turbo sound.

Intercoolers

Upgraded intercoolers keep intake temperatures low for consistent power, especially important in Kansas summers. Cooler air means denser air, which means more power and reduced risk of knock.

Turbo Upgrades

For Stage 3 builds, we install larger turbochargers paired with supporting fuel system upgrades. IS38 swaps, hybrid turbos, and full big turbo kits are all within our capabilities for serious power goals.

What to Expect

The APR Tuning Process

Professional installation from consultation to completion.

Consultation

We discuss your goals, driving style, and budget to recommend the right tune and any supporting modifications needed.

Inspection

Before tuning, we verify your vehicle is in good mechanical condition. Any existing issues should be addressed first for best results.

Installation

Using APR's DirectPort system, we flash your ECU in about an hour. No ECU removal required. Hardware installs are completed the same day when possible.

Verification

We verify the tune is functioning correctly, explain your switchable modes, and send you off to enjoy your transformed vehicle.

These guys know their stuff, my Jetta is in good hands and for the first time I did not have a credit card or care credit offer shoved in my face, or got treated like I was dumb. These guys asked questions and actually tried to recreate the problem I had in order to better assess my car. They have been prompt in answering by texts which is easier some days with work schedules to communicate. They were friendly and knowledgeable and I think I have found the best new place to bring my Jetta.

100% recommend. Extreme thank you to the team for getting me and my Audi Q5 home after bringing it in with multiple issues. And going into detail explaining the issues and helping to get them fixed. Extremely grateful for the great customer service and men laboring.

I took my 2014 TDI Passat in for a timing belt change and cam carrier seal leaking. Chad was excellent at communicating via text. Quick turn around and high quality level of work. They are very competitive pricing wise. If you have a Volkswagen or Audi, I recommend this shop.

APR Tuning FAQ

Common questions about APR ECU and TCU tuning.

Yes, ECU tuning will void your factory warranty. Modern dealer diagnostic tools can detect that a vehicle has been tuned, even if it's been flashed back to stock. Manufacturers—particularly Audi—have denied warranty claims on unrelated repairs simply because tuning was detected, without needing to prove the modification caused the issue. APR does offer the APR Plus program which includes its own limited powertrain warranty, but this is separate from your factory coverage. If your vehicle is still under warranty, tuning is a decision that should be made with full awareness of this reality.

Stage 1 tunes work with a completely stock vehicle and typically add 20-40% more power. Stage 2 is achieved when a Stage 1 tune is installed and the intake and intercooler are upgraded. The ECU will adjust for these mechanical upgrades. Stage 3 involves more significant hardware changes such as larger turbos, upgraded fuel systems, and sometimes internal engine components for maximum power. We help you choose the right APR stage based on your goals and budget.

A straightforward ECU flash typically takes about an hour using APR's DirectPort system. No ECU removal or soldering is required for most vehicles. If you're also doing TCU tuning or installing supporting hardware modifications, plan for additional time. We'll provide an accurate estimate when you schedule your appointment.

APR's exclusive switching technology lets you toggle between performance modes using your cruise control stalk. You can switch between high-octane performance maps, lower-octane maps for regular fuel, or even stock mode for dealer visits. This flexibility means you're always running the optimal tune for your situation.

Yes, all APR software includes free lifetime updates as new calibrations become available. The software itself is always free. You only pay for the installation labor when updating to a newer calibration version.
