GHL Exhaust systems a big hit!

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The new GHL exhaust systems have been a big hit at USP Motorsports. It really is hard to beat a good quality exhaust system for a German car at an affordable price! All GHL products are built using only the highest quality T-304 stainless steel. All tubes are precision mandrel bent, and everything is hand TIG welded by skilled craftsmen. Factory mounting locations are used wherever possible to insure a quality fit every time.

 

 

Systems are currently available for Volkswagen MKIV and MKV applications. 2.5″, 3″ systems in a single tip for the GLI’s, 337’s, and 20th Anniversary editions, as well as R32 style conversion exhaust setups for the MKV GTI, and Rieger body kit compatible exhaust systems are all manufactured by GHL and available through USP Motorsports!

Thanks to our great customer Marc S. in Denmark, we’ve got a shot of a GHL exhaust system on a Leon Cupra!! Not something you see every day..

APR MK6 GTI 3″ RSC Exhaust System released!

Friday, February 12th, 2010

APR MK6 2.0T TSI exhaust system

APR’s RSC™ technology is now available for the MK6 GTI in their newest 2.0 TSI RSC™ Performance Exhaust System. Reflective Sound Cancellation allows for maximum exhaust gas flow while completely eliminating in cabin sound resonance (drone). RSC™ incorporates innovative technologies developed in conjunction with NASA. With limited use of packing materials and no baffles, RSC™ allows for a completely straight and free flowing exhaust path through the RSC™ mufflers. Reflective Cancellation bounces the undesirable sound waves into each other to attenuate the wave and completely eliminate the low frequency tones that create drone. Each RSC™ muffler is tuned to eliminate specific, undesirable sound frequencies allowing only the engine’s desirable exhaust notes to be heard and improving performance.

APR 2010 ECU Upgrades available!

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

APR 2010 software available

The APR performance software upgrade for the 2010+ Volkswagen & Audi vehicles has finally been released, and is available here at USP Motorsports! In typical APR fashion, this ECU Upgrade is an expertly recalibrated reflash of the OEM ECU to produce an additional 40-68 hp and 74-90 lb ft of torque. Fuel economy, drivability and performance are Enhanced by APR’s Engineering Team with No Compromise.

APR’s Stage 1 for the newest generation 2.0 TFSI Engines features APR’s Patented EMCS calibration switching features that allow you to use your OEM equipped Cruise Control to select different situation specific calibrations and features giving you advanced control over your engine’s operation and enabling the ECU to perform special functions not made available by the OEM.

This upgrade is not a typical reflash like the previous software upgrades from APR. We have purchased advanced bench flashing utilities specially engineered and designed by APR in order to complete these upgrades.

APR 2010 software upgrade tools at USP Motorsports

APR is pleased to offer the ONLY onsite flashing method for the newest 2.0 TFSI engines in North America! APR’s Engineering Team has done it again by maintaining the no hassle, convenient installation methods we have all enjoyed since the release of APR’s DPP flashing suite in 2003. In a time when other tuners are forced to send your ecu to company headquarters for installation of ECU Upgrades, APR is proud to offer onsite ECU upgrade installation in about an hour’s time while you wait. Simply visit your Authorized APR Dealer of choice and our network of professional installers will perform the ECU Upgrade while you wait in the comfort of their lobby. Don’t be fooled by lesser tuners that require your ECU to be mailed across the country or even the world risking loss of vehicle enjoyment, down time and potential shipping damage. APR has proven themselves once again as the world’s leader in Bosch Motronic engine management system enhancement through innovative technologies that can’t be matched.

APR’s Stage 1 ECU Upgrade is also on sale as an introductory offer until the end of February. For a single program price of $599, you will receive all available programs, features and options at no additional charge! You get over $1200 of advanced programming for your ECU for only the single program price of $599! The sale is only applicable to 2010+ models in North America only and is available at all North American APR Dealers.

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

USP Motorsports 42' gooseneck race car trailer

In preparation for the 2010 race season, USP Motorsports has been forced to expand. We’ve sold the 22′ v-nose single car trailer to pick up a 42′ Gooseneck! This trailer houses enough room for 2 vehicles and plenty more for tools and spare parts at the track. We will be fully prepared to represent for the Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche community! USP Motorsports plans to attend the full season of

NSCRA drag racing events with our 800hp Audi S4 in the True Street class. USP Motorsports and driver Chris Green was the 2009 season winner of the NSCRA South Florida Turbo True Street class and we plan to defend out title in 2010!!

USP Motorsports will also be attending multiple road-course racing events with our E85 corn fed 700hp Porsche 996 Turbo, standing-mile runs, and European car events such as Euro Warz and Euro FixxFest. Look for our 500+whp GLI 1.8T to be riding along in the Gooseneck as well, trying for its first 10 second pass and be the first GLI 1.8T in the country to break that barrier!

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us at the first annual Festival of Power and Shine at USP Motorsports. With over 130 VW’s and Audi’s in attendance, this event was a great success. We had our technician / former chef on the grill, the dyno rollers spinnings, and a full PA speaker system to list some of the highlights on the day. There were a handful of 400+ whp cars strapped down on the dyno including Joe’s modded V8 twin turbo RS6, turbo VR6 Jetta’s, and Antoan’s dyno shootout winning Audi S4 with a 3.0L engine, RS6 turbo’s and E85 fuel conversion putting down a grand total of 541awhp. There were some great raffle prizes given away including a free Mobil 1 oil change at USP Motorsports, a Turtle wax full detail kit, and a $100 gift certificate for use at USP.

Trophies were given out to the Dyno shootout winner, the best Audi, and the best VW in the show.
