About the Audi 3.0 TFSI V6 (supercharged and turbocharged generations)
The 3.0 TFSI was offered first supercharged and later turbocharged in the A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, S4 and S5. In both forms the engine leaves the factory with a clear performance reserve.
How a Stage 1 remap works on the Audi A8 D4 3.0 TFSI 290hp
On supercharged versions Stage 1 recalibrates throttle, ignition and fuelling; on turbocharged versions boost pressure as well. The result is a linear but much stronger acceleration. The quattro system and automatic gearbox capacity are respected in the calibration.
Pre-remap checklist
- Supercharger pulley and cooling system (supercharged generation).
- Ignition coils and spark plugs.
- Gearbox and differential oil service.
