Chip tuning for Audi R8 5.2 V10 FSI 540 hp ECU
Audi R8 (2015 - 4S) 5.2 V10 FSI 540 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) group (Германия, 1909). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 540 to 6625 hp (+6085 hp, +1127%) and torque from 540 to 585 Nm (+45 Nm). ECU — Bosch MED17.1.1. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2015 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.
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 RS models are the top of the Audi Sport range and direct rivals to Mercedes-AMG and BMW M. The factory calibration of Audi petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. TFSI is Audi's signature designation for direct-injection petrol turbo engines.
APR and Revo are the leading tuning brands for Audi, right up to Stage 1+. On Audi, Stage 1 usually fits within the standard turnaround time. On pre-2017 Audi models, Stage 1 is flashed via OBD without bench. Top-tier Audi Sport engines (RS models) sit at Audi's power ceiling; the gain is significant. APR and Revo are the leading tuning brands for top Audi engines. A Bench read is standard procedure on modern RS engines. RS engines are a proven base once supporting hardware is added (downpipe, intake and intercooler).
