If you pay attention to the world of high performance cars you know there are spectacularly fast twin turbo Lamborghini Huracans and Nissan GT-R's. Tuners pushing the limits in competition is great for enthusiasts and potential customers alike. ...Published on 10-05-2017 06:59 PM
These figures come from APR UK who has an all wheel drive Dynojet. They took a MKVII Volkswagen Golf R and added the 'High Torque' Stage I APR 2.0 EA888 ECU flash tune along with an APR carbon fiber intake system. ...Published on 09-21-2017 11:21 AM
Hot on the heels of MotorTrend's 2017 Best Driver's Car competition comes their World's Greatest Drag Race where they have the contestants face off in a straightline contest. They did make one change though by replacing the Miata (which had no chance) with a Tesla Model S P100D. ...Published on 09-21-2017 10:42 AM
MotorTrend's Best Drier's Car competition is always interesting to watch. The videos are well done and they provide plenty of data. The field they choose is not always the most logical though. What the hell is a Lexus LC500 doing in this competition? Also, why is there no BMW? That omission may be BMW's fault more than that of anyone else. ...Published on 09-19-2017 11:24 PM
This is a great comparison from The Tuning School who tried out various fuels and provided great data. They compared 93 octane pump fuel, MS103, C9, E85, VP C85, MS109, leaded C16, 93 octane plus water, 93 plus boost juice, and 93 with methanol. ...Published on 09-19-2017 10:52 PM
Oh great, now the politically correct virus that infects America is coming for car advertisements. You know what a car ad is supposed to do? Get your attention. That is exactly what Mercedes-AMG accomplishes showing the new W213 generation E63 S model line up for a drag race. ...Published on 09-19-2017 08:12 AM
Car forums are a dirty business. Or at least, they can be. In MBWorld's case, dirty hardly covers it. This is the same forum that had such extreme corruption in the past regarding EVOSPORT it led to the rise of BenzBoost.com. ...Published on 09-13-2017 11:41 AM
Where do you even begin with this mess? After the article about yet another Dime Racing Huracan horror story BoostAddict was contacted by the owner as well as multiple parties contributing further details. Suffice it to say, Dime Racing is in big trouble. ...Published on 09-13-2017 04:41 AM
This is the type of thing that elevates a tuner to another level. Tuning Volkswagens and Audi's is one thing. Offering off the shelf crate motors is something else entirely. These are the resources and reach available to APR. ...Published on 08-28-2017 05:22 PM
The research study below from LMC Automotive points to where the automotive industry is going. The direction is really not all that surprising. Engines are continuing to get smaller and the number of turbocharged engines is increasing. ...Published on 08-20-2017 02:22 PM
This network of websites never shies away from reporting what is truly going on in the aftermarket industry. It is a very dirty industry with many people ripping each other off and stabbing each other in the back for profit. That is no surprise to anyone. ...Published on 08-20-2017 12:39 PM
This is your new class of hot hatchbacks. All of them are turbocharged but there are differences among them. For one, the RS3 has the largest motor with a 2.5 liter I5 and it also has the most power. It shows. None of these other cars can hang with it. ...Published on 08-15-2017 11:43 AM
BoostAddict reported what was going on behind the scenes with Dime Racing. It seems people have not been paying attention or simply dismissed the reports. Remember when Dime Racing was taken to court by Weistec? BoostAddict posted the entire complaint with further details. ...Published on 08-03-2017 07:11 PM
You may have heard of BPM Sport and the owner Mike Benvo. For those unfamiliar, BPM is a BMW coding company. While they sell tunes Mike Benvo is not a tuner. This became glaringly obvious in a recent discussion (since deleted) where he attempted to warn people about unsafe tuning practices. ...Published on 08-02-2017 02:21 PM
This is a big shift in the German aftermarket. You all know APR from the Volkswagen and Audi tuning world. APR is now a part of Driven Performance Brands which includes Flowmaster, B&M Racing and Performance, Hurst Shifters, Hurst Driveline Conversions, and Dinan Engineering. ...
It seems there...
