Chip tuning for Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp ECU
Audi A4 (2018 - B9-FL) 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) group (Германия, 1909). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 190 to 240 hp (+50 hp, +26%) and torque from 320 to 380 Nm (+60 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch MG1CS001, Bosch MG1CS111, Siemens/Continental Simos18.10. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. TCU units on this engine: Temic DL382, Bosch DQ38x — each is calibrated with a separate file (torque limiter, shift maps for Stage 1). In the CHIPOK database: 5 configurations · 5 ECU variants. A modern petrol engine built in 2018 — a generation with encrypted ECU protection (Tricore TPROT); top engines require Bench.
Audi shares platforms with Volkswagen, Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini within VAG. Audi's signature slogan is “Vorsprung durch Technik” (Progress through Technology). Audi is a premium manufacturer from Ingolstadt (Bavaria), founded in 1909 as Audiwerke August Horch & Cie. Audi shares its ECUs and calibration algorithms with Volkswagen. Mid-range Audi turbo petrol engines are a high-volume Stage 1 subject. TFSI is Audi's signature designation for direct-injection petrol turbo engines.
Within the VAG group, ECUs are standardised, so a single file often fits a dozen models across Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat. 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. Mid-range Audi engines form the backbone of the range; Stage 1 preserves engine life. In the mid segment, the Audi community is an open platform with a large library of ready-made Stage files. The factory calibration is conservative, with headroom for Stage 1 and no hardware changes. The MQB platform is the most refined chip tuning segment in Europe.
S tronic is Audi's signature dual-clutch gearbox (the DSG in the Audi range). S tronic comes in dry and wet-clutch versions, each with a different torque rating. The S tronic TCU requires calibration at Stage 1+, as the torque limiter usually sits below the engine's potential.
Frequently asked questions
What power gain do you get after chip tuning the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp?
After Stage 1 the power of the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp rises from 190 to 240 hp, a gain of 50 hp (+26%). Torque rises from 320 to 380 Nm (+60 Nm).
How does Stage 1 differ from stock on the Audi A4?
Stage 1 is a software optimization of the factory ECU firmware of the Audi A4 with no hardware changes. The injection, boost, ignition-timing and torque maps are reprogrammed. The gain is +50 hp with no hardware changes.
What is the risk of Stage 1 on the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp?
A remap of the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp is safe — the factory calibration in this mid-range class is conservative, leaving genuine headroom for Stage 1 with no hardware changes.
What is Stage 2 for the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp?
Stage 2 on the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp means software + hardware (exhaust, intake, intercooler). The gain depends on the specific hardware combination.
Which control units is the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp built with?
The Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp comes with 3 ECU variants: Bosch MG1CS001, Bosch MG1CS111, Siemens/Continental Simos18.10. Calibration is done for the specific unit after the revision is identified.
Can all the gearbox variants (Temic DL382, Bosch DQ38x) on the Audi A4 be calibrated?
The Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp has 2 TCU variants: Temic DL382, Bosch DQ38x. Remapping the gearbox is essential after Stage 1 — the factory torque limiter is usually below what the engine can deliver.
Does the factory warranty of the Audi A4 remain valid after Stage 1?
After remapping the Audi A4, the official factory warranty on the engine and gearbox is lost (this applies to any manufacturer when the ECU is modified). CHIPOK guarantees the quality of the calibration and free revisions.
How long is the wait for a Stage 1 remap for the Audi A4?
Reading and writing via OBD takes 25-30 minutes on the Audi A4. Bench reading (BDM/JTAG) takes about 60 minutes plus refitting. Remote file processing at CHIPOK takes 5-30 minutes.
How do you roll back to the factory firmware of the Audi A4?
Before Stage 1 the original of the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp is read out and saved — returning to the factory state is possible at any time.
How much does chip tuning the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp cost?
The remap price for the Audi A4 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp is dynamic and is calculated in the CHIPOK calculator based on the selected options. A credit-based payment model, with no subscription fees.
