APR brings plug-and-play tuning to the MK8 GTI with the APR Power Control Unit (PCU)

04/24/2024

The APR Power Control Unit (PCU) is an inline tuning device designed to increase the horsepower and torque of the vehicle! The plug-and-play control unit piggybacks off the primary Engine Control Unit (ECU) to increase output. Using your smart phone or the optional wireless controller, you can change performance levels on the fly, revert to stock, adjust throttle sensitivity levels, and read/clear fault codes.


Unlike our ECU Upgrades, this physical plug-and-play unit does not alter the software on your vehicle’s factory ECU. Because of this, no plug-and-play unit can match the output of a software flash tuned ECU upgrade, but this provides a simple solution or those looking to get more power, easily. And should you ever want to revert to stock, you can simply unplug the unit from the vehicle!


This upgrade is equipped with 5 different performance levels and individual throttle sensitivity adjustments. Using your smart phone, you can fine tune each level, and change them on the fly. Using the optional wireless controller, you can change programs quickly without even using your phone!
