"I have to say after 40 years building and racing cars Turbo-Kits.com has shown a commitment, kindness and overall attentiveness yet to see equal in the aftermarket industry. Doing business with them was by far my best performance buying experience to date." - Dr. Al C., Rhode Island
The BDM18TGT2960 Backdraft Motorsport has been developed on the Audi TT race car which has competed here in the UK. The kit has run with 100%
reliability and allowed us to compete regularly at the front of the field with an outright first at Silverstone back in June 2006. The kit has been fitted successfully to road cars including the Audi TT, Audi S3 and Seat Leon Cupra R.
The fit takes around 8 hours for a competent technician with workshop facilities as everything is included for fitting. The kit then requires
mapping and fuelling.

APR is pleased to present our front mounted intercooler for the A4 1.8T. The construction and advanced design techniques used in the APR intercooler sets ours apart from all the others on the market. Utilizing such technologies as a top-bottom feed core, custom mandrel bent plumbing, and innovative cast endtanks with internal vaning, our intercooler has produced excellent results in testing.

APR is pleased to present our front mounted intercooler for the A4, TT, Passat, Golf, GTI and Jetta 1.8T. The construction and advanced design techniques used in the APR intercooler sets ours apart from all the others on the market. Utilizing such technologies as a top-bottom feed core, custom mandrel bent plumbing, and innovative cast endtanks with internal vaning, our intercooler has produced excellent results in testing. The 180TT features a "C"-style intercooler, and the 225TT has a "Z"-style intercooler.
Equally as impressive with the APR intercooler was the external pressure drop (the amount of air pressure behind the intercooler) of only 1.01 psi. This helps to allow airflow to other critical parts of the car such as the radiator and A/C condenser. While the internal pressure drop is important, the external pressure drop is often overlooked. Most other intercoolers commonly cause 1.5 to 2.0 pounds of pressure drop, hindering the radiator from effectively doing its job of cooling the engine.
APR Exhaust System Features:
- TIG Welded
- T304 Stainless Steel Construction
- CNC Milled Mounting Bracketry
- High Quality Band Clamps
- CNC Mandrel Bent Tubing
- 200 Cell Metal Matrix Catalyst
- Rolled Tips with the APR Logo
- Lifetime Warranty
APR's B6 A4 Exhaust is a complete stainless steel, mandrel bent, cat-back exhaust. On an A4, the catalytic converter is bolted to the turbocharger and then the exhaust begins with the downpipe. Unlike most other aftermarket exhausts, the APR exhaust includes a 2.5" downpipe. APR has two different exhaust systems available for the B6 A4, the Stealth and the Sport. These systems are a complete package replacing all of the tubing from the OEM catalyst to the polished stainless tips that are acid etched with the APR logo.
For Engines: 1.8T Boost: 22-23 HP: 350hp Direct Bolt-On: Yes
APR's TT Exhaust is a stainless steel, mandrel bent, cat-back exhaust. Our exhaust begins after the factory catalytic converter with a 2.5" pipe, and continues back to the muffler and two elegant semi-oval tips. This exhaust really wakes up the TT and gives it a deep snarl that a sports car of the TT's caliber deserves. With TIG welding, fully stainless construction, and CNC'ed hangers, you will not find a higher quality system on the market. If you have a 180hp TT, you will need to get the rear lower valence for a 225hp TT.

APR is proud to release our newest addition to the APR Motorsport lineup, APR Compressor Inlet Hoses for the 1.8T. We designed these hoses to fill a gap in the market where other silicone hoses simply don't perform.
After extensive testing our engineers have found that the OEM compressor inlet hose is not rigid enough to prevent collapse during high boost situations where airflow to the turbo is most important. A collapsed hose creates a huge airflow restriction that robs your motor of potential power!

The APR Motorsport Intake Manifold is part of the APR Motorsport Lineup. The APR Motorsport lineup of products is designed for the advanced enthusiast or installation center as a true motorsport application that is not considered plug and play. Please contact an APR sales professional to help determine application for your build.
The APR Motorsport Intake Manifold is a high flow cast aluminum replacement intake manifold for any transverse 1.8T. Features of the manifold include larger runners with smoother transitions, a large barrel designed to reduce turbo lag, pressed and bead rolled vacuum fittings, OEM injector seats, and a 76mm throttle body.
For Engines: 1.8T Boost: N/A HP: N/A Direct Bolt-On: Yes
The APR Motorsport Intake Manifold is available in either a black powdercoated finish or an unfinished casting for polishing or custom painting. It is also available with or without the throttle body, making the Intake Manifold flexible for both application and styling.
Applying the Intake Manifold to an APR Stage III or III+ will produce power levels in excess of the stock motor internals abilities and upgraded connecting rods are recommended.
Expected gains when applied to an APR Stage III or III+ are 40-50hp, 20-30ft-lbs and reduced turbo lag of approximately 100-200 rpm's.
APR now offers a complete oil line kit for your 1.8T with a Garrett GT turbocharger. These lines have the correct fittings crimped directly to the stainless line, minmizing the chance for leaks on these critical parts.
The oil feed line is a -6 line that comes with all the necessary banjo fittings and hardware for the 1.8T. It also comes with the correct oil inlet restrictor for the GT series turbos.
