270PS, they are looking for a UK based guinea pig....Be interesting to see what APR could do with it.
Loba are the go to people for all things RS4 evidently, MRC use their turbos, Unit 20 etc etc, they also originated the TTRS hybrid that Revo were tryingto get to 500 BHP
I know Simon at Loba quite well let me know if you need an introduction!.
Very stand up company by all accounts

If Sy is willing for his car to be used I will do the install and calibration FOC.
If Loba can supply the volumes APR would need, the quality and pricing is there, we are game.
Sounds like I need a trip to Germany? Can't say I know much about them. I think Arin@APR has spoken with someone from there before.

With the greatest of respect to them I think they're more embroiled on the technical development side rather than promoting themselves (rather than the other way around) they have also had some issues with a lot of their technical work being plagiarised by others.
I'll point this thread out to Simon who is in effect Loba Uk, be good to get a dialogue underway
Poverty:
Oh yeah I saw that some so called "respectable" tuners copying Loba's hard work, they still couldnt match the quality though!

Sounds good, thank you. FWIW, we will sign non disclosure and non compete agreements so their IP and hard work can remain protected.
APR currently doesn't have the equipment required for modifying turbos so we have no interest in being in that business ourselves. Center section balancers, hot gas flow benches, etc. are very expensive machines.
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
I've emailed Simon.
Hopefully he'll be along shortly, I mentioned on the other " let's talk hybrids" thread that Loba only rate their KO4 Hybrid for 380PS, some are claiming that for a stage 2+ OEM KO4!
Refreshing they don't get into the pissing contest others do...
Maybe the powers the same but delivery is different
Janner_Sy:
