The Ultimate Turbocharger System is Here!

The APR EFR7163 Turbocharger System produces up to 536 HP and lays down 10-second quarter mile passes, all through a convenient and affordable, turn-key solution.

Engine Management

Included with the turbocharger system is APR’s world-renowned Stage 3+ ECU Upgrade! This software upgrade installs on the factory ECU and requires no extra end user configuration or tuning and eliminates the need for costly piggyback controlling devices.

Turbocharger and Wastegate

Response, top end power, and reliability were all at the forefront of the Stage III+ turbocharger selection. Typically, these features do not go hand-in-hand. Larger turbos tend to be laggy, while small, responsive turbos lack top-end power. However, the Borg Warner EFR7163 has broken the mold.

Manifold Adapter

The APR Exhaust Manifold Adapter is investment-cast using the nickel-chromium-based Inconel 625 super alloy, with reliability, strength and performance at the forefront of the compact, twin scroll design.

Silicone Hoses

The turbocharger inlet and outlet hoses are designed with performance, strength, longevity, and total compatibility with all factory components. The hoses feature a multi-ply silicone design, which are internally lined with a flourosilicone coating.

Exhaust Outlet

The Borg Warner EFR Turbocharger’s outlet size differs from the factory turbocharger and as such, a new 3” V-Band exhaust outlet necessary and included. This pipe must be adapted to your existing exhaust system. The 3” V-Band Exhaust Outlet is created from T304 stainless steel and features cast bends with argon back purged TIG welding throughout.

MAP Sensors and Boost Tap

To provide accurate closed-loop boost control through the factory ECU, new MAP sensors and mounting hardware are included. The ECU is recoded to fully work with the upgraded sensors, completely eliminating the need for clumsy and archaic stand-alone boost controllers.
