Excelerate Performance is your premier Northeast performance and service center for your Audi. We moved just about a year ago to 12 Sycamore Way in Branford, CT. This location houses our 5000 sq ft facility where we have designated almost 75% of our building to service-related work. Our service area boasts a 3300 sq ft service area with five 2 post 10k FORWARD low-profile lifts, a waiting room for our customers with TV and comfortable couches, a break room for our employees, an inventory room, a LANAIR Waste Oil Burner, heating and air condition in the office and showroom, ample parking, and much much more.

We also have an extensive array of mechanic’s tools, including specialty tools for many German and Japanese vehicles. Each of these tools allows us to diagnose and repair your vehicle more efficiently. This saves you money and time. Additionally, we have a Miller MIG and TIG welder, Blue Point smoke machine, SNAP On Verus, Autoenginuity Scan Tool, VAG Com, Durametric, and many many more tools. Each of these tools allows us to diagnose and repair your vehicle more efficiently. This saves the customer money and time. In order to improve the performance of vehicles we have various tools for flashing: APR Cheetah cable, APR CPD programmer, APR Universal Programming Device, APR Computer Clamping Device, Active Autowerke Flashing Station, JHM cable, Softronic cable, United Motorsport and more.

Although Excelerate Performance specializes in the sales and installation of performance parts on your VW and Audi, we do also perform regular maintenance and service work.

Audi TT RS 2.5 TFSI
Audi RS3 2.5 TFSI
Audi R8 5.2L FSI V10

For those vehicles that we cant direct port flash, this is the best option for local customers!

 

As one of STOPTECH's oldest and largest Northeast Distributors we have excellent buying power on STOPTECH Big Brake Kits and we want to transfer those discounts to Audizine members.

So if you're interested in one of these:



Send us an email to sales@excelerateperformance, a phone call to 203-483-6100 or a PM via Audizine and we'd be happy to set you up with a STOPTECH Brake Package specific to your vehicle. When contacting us please remember to include your vehicle info (make, model, year, AWD or FWD, engine size), your zip code, and what exact BBK (i.e. STOPTECH 328MM Slotted Disc with ST-40 Red Calipers) you're looking for and we will get you a quote. And if you find a lower quote send us a response or a link and we will be happy to beat it.

So what are the advantages of a STOPTECH Big Brake Kit?

A StopTech® Big Brake Kit represents the ultimate high performance brake upgrades and gives vehicles that supercar look and feel.

StopTech® Big Brake Kits exceed stock performance in two key areas: First, larger rotors increase heat capacity, allowing a driver to brake harder stop-after-stop with reduced chance of fade. Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance, providing consistent pedal feel and confidence-inspiring responsiveness.

The key, however, is to increase heat capacity and reduce compliance without upsetting a vehicle's stock front-to-rear brake torque ratio. That is why StopTech® developed the Balanced Brake Upgrade® design philosophy, which precisely apportions front and rear braking resources while factoring in vehicle weight transfer under braking.
In contrast, a brake upgrade that adds too much front torque (as many do), will reduce your car's ability to maximize the traction available from all four tires, robbing you of performance. In addition, a system that uses too many pistons or pistons that are too large will make the brake pedal much more difficult to modulate, limiting a driver's control of brake input.

 

Excelerate Performance is proud to introduce we are fully operational at our new facility located at 12 Sycamore Way Unit 1 in Branford, CT 06405. We have transitioned to a new location in order to meet the needs of our expanding customer base. The new 5,000 sq ft location is twice the size of our previous location and features a larger showroom with heating and air conditioning, a 3,000 sq ft service area with 5 2 post low profile Forward lifts, a waiting room with 40" LCD Flat Screen TV and WiFi, a break room, a 1,000 sq ft inventory room, our new iconic XLR8 logo on the front of the building, a new Ranger R980NXT and DST2420 tire mounting and balancing machines, and much much more. This location is about 1 minute off I-95 off of Exit 56. Below are some recent images we took:







Please feel free to stop by the new location to discuss a package specifically designed for your vehicle.

APR Presents the Audi S6/S7 4.0 TFSI ECU Upgrade with Program Switching!

APR is pleased to present the ultimate ECU Upgrade for the Audi S6 and S7 4.0 TFSI V8, now available for previously unavailable newer ECU types! So if you had an S6/S7 4.0T that we previously could not flash, call us to set up an appointment because now it is available. We already have one S6 scheduled for Monday!!



After months of long nights and many hours of testing, developing and more testing, we’re pleased to offer you an ECU recalibration that is second to none. APR’s extensive research and development provides you with a powerful ECU upgrade with no loss of drivability or reliability. Expect faster acceleration, improved throttle response and more power across the entire power band.

APR’s 4.0 TFSI V8 ECU Upgrade is an expertly re-calibrated engine control strategy that primarily remaps the engine’s operating parameters, within the factory ECU, to provide smooth and reliable power as if intended by the OEM. APR’s ECU Upgrade is developed to work within the OEM and Tier 1 Supplier specifications for engine component stress tolerances and performance specifications. Available in octane-specific variations, APR’s calibrations allow you to take advantage of fuel quality available in your area. APR’s patented EMCS functionality puts the control of your engine’s operation at your fingertips and allows for additional features and options to be installed to your OEM ECU.

The APR Stage I ECU Upgrade gives you higher peak numbers of 560 HP/580 FT-LBS on 93 (R+M)/2 octane and up to 569 HP/605 FT-LBS on 100 (R+M)/2 octane race fuel. As much as 124 HP and 163 FT-LBS of torque are available through the power band! APR’s ECU Upgrade is the best power per dollar modification for the new 4.0 TFSI V8 and gives it just the extra edge these cars lack from the factory without pushing the limits. With factory-like smoothness and drivability, APR’s ECU upgrade will fill the void in an otherwise excellent car.

At this time, previously unavailable ECU box codes applies to North America only at this time and will also apply to the ROW market in the near future.
