The 4.2L Audi R8 was an instant hit for the Audi family bringing a supercar to the market. Featuring a V8 32 valve aluminum block engine, the FSI Audi R8 put down a strong 414HP with 317ft/lbs of torque. Like all normally aspirated vehicles, changing the vehicles calibration allows for improvement of the vehicles performance. By tuning the cars ECU, several enhancements are gained. Once the ECU is tuned, the car will have quicker throttle response. For both the DSG R-Tronic and 6speed manual, the car will rev out faster reducing sluggish off the line feeling till the peak of the powerband hits. The mid-range pulls harder in its peak torque and horsepower zones while the tuning allows for the car to increase power all the way to redline.

How to Flash Your ECU?

• Bring your vehicle to our facility where we can use our Master Tool to flash your vehicle.
• We can bench flash the ECU. To bench flash the ECU, you must remove it from your vehicle and send it to us. Once we receive the ECU, we will prepare the tune file and then ship it back to you for re-installation. We do not solder or modify the ECU board at all. All ECU tuning is done via bungy probes that have a needle tip to provide an electrical connection.

Options:

• You can select to get both Stages of our Tune.  The Stage 2 is usually for those looking to maximize the performance of their vehicle.  Though not required unless stated, this is usually for those running a performance exhaust and at least 91-93 octane fuel. Can only be done if OBDII flashing is available.
