Chip tuning for Audi A5 40 TFSI (2.0) 190 hp ECU
Audi A5 (2019 - F5-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: 10 configurations · 5 ECU variants. A modern petrol engine built in 2019 — a generation with encrypted ECU protection (Tricore TPROT); top engines require Bench.
Audi is a premium manufacturer from Ingolstadt (Bavaria), founded in 1909 as Audiwerke August Horch & Cie. Audi's petrol range is badged TFSI, and the diesel range TDI. quattro is Audi's signature all-wheel-drive system, introduced in 1980. TFSI is Audi's signature designation for direct-injection petrol turbo engines. The MQB and MLB platforms allow ECU commonality with Volkswagen, Porsche and Bentley. The Audi community is one of the most open in Europe, with a large library of ready-made Stage files.
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 mid-range standard Audi petrol engines, Stage 1 delivers a noticeable gain. 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.
