Historically we don't like hybrids as our testing has proven them less than reliable.
But that's not to say we've tested all of the hybrids out there so I'm told there are some good ones over here.
Its possible. Maybe something we offer as a custom solution. I doubt we would offer it as part of our standard product line unless it was a kit we develop and offer.
Just need to find the best one.

By looking at the posts just in here if you did come up with a K04 Hybrid Kit fitted and mapped it would sell :driver:

Sometimes used HPFP's sourced by the dealer are sent to us for a rebuild and unfortunately sold as new pumps. Because I've caught wind of this happening rather frequently in the UK and Europe, we are establishing a better tracking process and identification system for used, rebuilt pumps and new pumps.

thanks for the reply
does that mean that APR will now rerubish in the UK?
or do you already?

Do Owen developments do a hybrid, herd good things about that company.
Hybrid option would work but your never going to get massive gains out of it and so paying £2k plus would be daft for only 40hp. If the price was right say £1-1.5k and there was enough in the turbo to push us over the 400hp mark with good reliability then i think plenty of people would be interested.
At this moment only Gaic offer a map for a hybrid, Revo's is an aggressive stage 2+ map or there stage 3 map with boost controller.
The only issue i see is it would be in direct competition with your gt2871 kit but less lag.

Bit of a tangent question for Keith but does your upgrade K03 to K04 map utilise any of the tweaking/coding that you're now using in the K04 2+ Version 3 software?

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.

Hi Keith
been pointed this way by friends (thanks)
ill shoot you a email, the Volume is not a problem or quality, we supply some of the biggest VAG tuning houses and they re-brand as there own and we work with many smaller tuners too.
On a side note for the guys asking on prices of hybrid units, prices your see from us listed are for brand new units , we can also upgrade your existing unit to lets say LO380 Spec, but we would really need to inspect and give you a report and quote a price.
most power ive personally seen from this unit is 390ps 545nm on a ED30 golf, i do think if 370+ can be made on oem unit as some tuners claim then id really like to see what they could do with LO380, im not doubting just really like to see...
We are not cheap but we have the very highest standards we don't use cheap copy parts at all only genuine or better ie :custom parts, but in 6 years we never seen a failure due to parts, a record we have pride in saying, all parts and processes are done in Germany.
We are Currently in the Process of Building a S3 8P project car right now Using Custom rods and Developing a New stage of OEM turbo that is going to be well over 400
