The 2015 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.

The Audi community is one of the most active in Europe for chip tuning. The e-tron line is Audi's EV range within the VAG group. Audi is part of the Volkswagen Group (VAG), Europe's largest automotive group. TFSI is Audi's signature designation for direct-injection petrol turbo engines.

On Audi, Stage 1 usually fits within the standard turnaround time. The Audi community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. APR and Revo are the leading tuning brands for Audi, right up to Stage 1+. On low-output Audi engines, Stage 1 is safe without overstressing the hardware. Base TFSI/TDI versions focus on fuel economy; Stage 1 delivers an honest but modest gain. In the Audi city segment, Stage 1 is more about comfort than outright power. On naturally aspirated Audi engines without a turbo, the main effect is on throttle response.
