ECS Tuning love all the work you’re doing. Can you tell me what you guys do to tune the mid 2015-2016 S5, as it has a four bolt pulley and no longer the push on pulley as seen in your video. You must have seen many now so I’m sure you have the answers.
Mine’s a 2015 S4 with APR Stage 2 Dual Pulley 91 octane map (only have 92 where I live), APR TCU Tune, Merc Racing S6 Heat Exchanger (highly recommended), Bilstein B12 Cup suspension, H&R rear sway bar, IE intake, stock exhaust and Audi sports differential (of course). It’s THE perfect set-up. Daily driven with this set-up for around 30K miles (currently at 51K) with no issues. LOVE this car, and change oil every 3k-5K miles and do ALL maintenance on time. It’s just the best of all worlds - especially in the Pacific Northwest where it rains a lot.
Big fan of the company. Great shipping, great products made and endorsed by ECS. Have some videos on products bought from ECS for my Audi B8 S4 posted. Thanks for the great customer service and business practice ECS. I'll keep buying
There is no need for removal of the Lock carrier or what he called "radiator support." Use a longer flex head 16/18 mountain wrench to reach the 16mm tensioner without putting into service position as described in this video.
why does APR state on their website "The unit is compact enough to not require complete removal of the front end of your vehicle, reducing labor time." ? It seems to me that is what you are doing.
Anything for a A8L 4.0TT that's being converted into a RS8L ? ..... I'm buying the car now and have over $20,000 worth of S8 parts from wrecked S8's on order .

Please Help!!! I have a 2013 Audi A7. I hit a opossum last night going about 65 MPH busted my front bumper and it ripped the 3 pin connector out of my coolant pump. I purchased a new 3 pin connector each pin is numbered 1 2 3 but the wires are solid black. I have 3 wires dangling from the harness that goes to the pump the colors are solid RED, solid VIOLET, and RED with a WHITE stripe. Does anyone know what color goes to each specific pin number????? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im trying to get this right because im thinking of purchasing this. So stage 1 is just tune and stage 2 is another tune with pulley or do I have that wrong?
I have a 2015 Q7 with a 3.0TFSI engine. I want to use CRC Valve Cleaner on it but I'm not sure if I need to be bypassing any sensors in the intake stream. I've scoured Audi forums and called CRC. No help. It's now my understanding that this engine has no MAF sensor, just MAP sensors. I know what a MAF sensor is, and how it works, and how it could be damaged, but I don't know if the diaphragm in a MAP sensor would suffer a similar fate. Can you offer any guidance here? I can strip off the intake all the way back to the throttle body easily. In doing so I can see that there is no MAF sensor in the intake pipe. I know where the MAP sensors are too. They don't look like they can be bypassed. Thanks
I have a 2012 Q7 3.0t It currently has the 280hp stock tune. I want to get to the 400hp mark. Some 3.0t have 444hp. Is this a refresh only for me or pulley + reflash? I want better trans shifts too
Information regarding power differences can be seen on this page: www.goapr.com/products/pulley_30tfsi.html Take a look at the dyno charts and additional information.
That is the supercharger upgraded, its the supercharger belt the new pulley is smaller so spins 9% faster than stock one does. But you need a software tune to really feel the difference. Depending on what the stage 2's pulley MM is.
3.0 supercharged engines are good for 500 wheel with stock internals. APR makes pullies (crank pulley) and a larger throttle bottle to get to those numbers.
The smaller pully increases the speed of the supercharger increasing boost and HP must have a remaped ICU to add more fuel amd timing... the pulley does nothing by itself.
calvinblinkee nothing about it is on a budget. Your looking at about 1500 just in parts for a single pulley upgrade, not to mention labor for tuning and install if you can’t do it yourself
I get 458hp with stage 2 and 400 torque. I assume back then they did not have good tuning. Traction is a problem with high torque. I can't step on it hard suddenly like stock as the tires would too much wear.
@@toostock7391 It is a stage 2 tune with a smaller supercharger pulley and new belt and tuned for 93 octane. Took about 3.5 hours at the tuning shop. I am still waiting for files for dsg transmission to smooth it out and increase torque limits.
Really considering this for my B8 S4. I have the GIAC stage 1 + done, but I'm concerned about the DSG. Would it hold up okay with an additional 40+ HP and TQ?
JoeyandLindsay The DSG is actually stronger than the stock 6spd when it comes to handling power. The clutch on the manuals usually weaken considerably with the added Stage II Power. The newer 2013+ DSG's are amazing.
Mine has acted up many times. The dealership always states that they "cannot duplicate" the problem, so I am left wondering when will it finally fail. I was not aware that the B8.5s had different DSGs. From my understanding, the only difference were the tune for them.
+Andrew Blea Without sounding too callous, No/Yes. You can certainly do whatever you want to do, but upgrading to stage 2 without the pulley is pointless and could probably cause a loss in performance. The software is tuned to work in conjunction with the pully. The software is expecting a certain amount of air from the supercharger. Without that air, I assume you would run extremely rich causing excessive carbon buildup in a relatively short period of time.
APR's Supercharger Drive Pulley Upgrade decreases the diameter of the factory pulley from ~63.25mm to 57.75mm, which in turn spins the supercharger ~9.5% faster. This, coupled with software, means more power!
Nope! BHP, just installed CTS pulley3 hours ago (smallest of them all).. I removed the supercharger which took 10 mins and installed the pulley without the hassle.

Thanks
whats the price for this whole kit ,,and i might need one for jaguar s type r ,but i heard that if i do upgrade the pulley might damage the supercharger,, was looking for smaller pulley for more supercharger whine
you would have to find one for your specific car, the whole stage two upgrade for this car is around 1500 which includes a tune and the necessary intake
Hi, would the increase in psi affect the headgaskets in any way? does this pulley upgrade have any negative effect and also would anything else need to be upgraded prior or after the installation?

Hi, Great video and I learned a lot - I saw another video (ua-cam.com/video/adiLu6ZDnX0/v-deo.html) where they removed the Supercharger rather than lifting the car and removing the bumper and losing the radiator. What is your opinion and do you think it is easier? I counted 11 bolts and 6 nuts... Your thoughts, Thanks!
Canadianhuh he didn’t remove the timing belt. He removed the supercharger belt. I believe the kit comes with a new supercharger belt. No adjustment needed, just loosen the tensioner to reinstall
The dual stage locks on the car fully support closing the hood in this way. I have also seen with a lot of older (2011-...) the generally require a little more than a light push with the hood lowered to the latch anyways.

...and then you get the pulley off how exactly? magic?
Didn't even demonstrate the engine running after...
Thank you and i appreciate you getting back to me
I wanna work in a shop that clean :( lol
You can speed up the install by heating the pulley in a microwave
hhahahahh
Oh nice I haven't heard of that I'll definitely try that when I get mine
Yah just make sure to wrap in in foil first.😆😆
Glad that was an easy one
This is ridiculous

Hi does it works with audi a6 c7 3.0tfsi 299hp?? Thanks
What if you simply cut the old pulley off? And slid the new one on with it heated up? Would you have to lift it and do all that extra bullshit?
Exactly I replaced my and I don’t have to take the tire the bumper ect
Rookie vid - It's a MUST to start the car awards. Would have also liked to have seen dyno read before and after!
Awesome video!
considering it already does 4.4 stock, I'm going to say closer to 4.1
how on earth did they no put a keyway on the supercharger shaft.
How reliable is this in the long run anything i should know about?
Its reliable
Stage 2 plus....did I miss when they installed the lower pulley?
I would have preferred a Ke$ha/Hank Williams mashup to this music, but info was quite helpful. Thanks!

3.0 supercharged engines are good for 500 wheel with stock internals. APR makes pullies (crank pulley) and a larger throttle bottle to get to those numbers.
Great video and explanation. May I ask you if it is more simply to remove the supercharger then change the pulley? Thanks
Excatly ‘ that takes 20 to 30 min
Can someone explain me how does changing Pully increase the horsepower?
The smaller pully increases the speed of the supercharger increasing boost and HP must have a remaped ICU to add more fuel amd timing... the pulley does nothing by itself.
Cuantos hp y torque aumenta el apr 2
30 mas solo con la pulley.
Well that sux is there anything out there for my modle n year beside the supercharger that I got in it
How many hp with stage 2?
@@sonacphotos you have to get stage 2 before doing pulley. I'm making 477 to the crank

On the drivers side is that small radiator down low an additional heat exchanger?
I believe thats the side mount intercooler for the supercharger
what is the power output only with pulley and ecu upgrade, no exhaust.
I dont think exhaust is even included in their numbers...it only nets you around 8-10 hp anyways by itself

10mm socket.
whats this cost? $2000? lol knowing Audi
Will this work for my 2002 3.0
3.0 ASN is not supercharget engnige
why heat the pully?
Heating it expandes the inside diameter of the pully making it slide right on so you dont have to press it on .then cools and had a friction fit
how much time and how much degree you need to let the pulley inside microwave?
I believe 350 degrees for about an hour and a half did the trick for us.
Just bought a 2017 Q7. 3.0T Does this work and what are the gains?
I'm not sure if they have software for the 17s, but for the 3.0T stage two is upwards of 70whp increase.
Hi, I'm intrigued with your presentation.
So by changing a pulley and serpentine belt will increase the horsepower by 30hp.
How is that possible.
APR's Supercharger Drive Pulley Upgrade decreases the diameter of the factory pulley from ~63.25mm to 57.75mm, which in turn spins the supercharger ~9.5% faster. This, coupled with software, means more power!
Tuning companies in the uk are getting an extra 150bhp with stage 2 + I'm sure APR do aswell .
So I’d have to buy stage 1 and stage 2?
I would guess it's cause the stage 2 tune is more like an addon for the stage 1 tune which is why it costs a lot less
43hp additional, is that at the wheels?
Nope! BHP, just installed CTS pulley3 hours ago (smallest of them all).. I removed the supercharger which took 10 mins and installed the pulley without the hassle.
hello, will this pulley add hp without Ecu tuning?

Is this the way of replacing water pump too?
Water pump under super charger.
