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. Audi Sport is Audi's performance division, building the RS models. The MQB and MLB platforms allow ECU commonality with Volkswagen, Porsche and Bentley. TFSI is Audi's signature designation for direct-injection petrol turbo engines. Mid-generation petrol models get a standard OBD flash via the MQB platform.
On pre-2017 Audi models, Stage 1 is flashed via OBD without bench. The Audi community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. Within the VAG group, ECUs are standardised, so a single file often fits a dozen models across Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat.
