What we do for the rs3.

Stage 1 unlocks boost, timing, and fueling across the RPM band. The 2.5 TFSI was conservatively tuned from the factory across all model years. We've mapped RS3 customers running stock turbo to full-hybrid builds with port injection.

Common questions.

Will Audi detect the tune?

Audi logs some boost events but most aren't reviewed during typical dealer visits. We offer free stock-revert before any planned visit.

Stock turbo limit?

Stock K04 is good to ~500 wheel hp on Stage 2 + supporting mods. Past that, hybrid turbo (e.g. TTE625) is the next step.

Does the DSG transmission hold up?

Stock DQ250 is good to about 500 wheel hp. Past that, TCM tune or built clutch packs are the path.

How long does the appointment take?

Stage 1: 2–3 hours. Stage 2 with mods to install: half-day to full day.
