Chip tuning for Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp ECU
Audi RS6 (2013 - C7) 4.0 TFSI 560 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) group (Германия, 1909). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 560 to 670 hp (+110 hp, +20%) and torque from 700 to 840 Nm (+140 Nm). ECU — Bosch MED17.1.1. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The ZF ALx51 TCU is calibrated with a separate file — torque limiter and shift maps for Stage 1. In the CHIPOK database: 2 configurations · 2 ECU variants. The 2013 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.
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. Audi RS engines have significant potential with a downpipe and intake. Audi shares its ECUs and calibration algorithms with Volkswagen.
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. APR and Revo are the leading tuning brands for Audi, right up to Stage 1+. 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). 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.
The S tronic TCU requires calibration at Stage 1+, as the torque limiter usually sits below the engine's potential. S tronic comes in dry and wet-clutch versions, each with a different torque rating. RS models come with a reinforced S tronic that handles significant torque even in stock form.
Frequently asked questions
How much horsepower does Stage 1 add for the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp?

What is Stage 1 chip tuning for the Audi RS6?
Stage 1 chip tuning of the Audi RS6 is a rework of the ECU maps: boost pressure, ignition advance, target lambda and the removal of factory torque limiters. The gain is +110 hp with no hardware changes.
What is the Stage 1 potential of the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp?
Stage 1 for the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp unlocks the potential built in by the factory but artificially capped to meet mass-market targets. A base of 750-800 hp is achievable once hardware is added.
How much does Stage 2 add on the Audi RS6?
Stage 2 on the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp means software + hardware (exhaust, intake, intercooler). The gain depends on the specific hardware combination.
Which ECU is fitted to the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp?
The Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp ECU is the Bosch MED17.1.1. Production versions support OBD access; locked variants require Bench (BDM/JTAG).
Is the ZF ALx51 TCU calibrated together with Stage 1?
Yes, on the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp the ZF ALx51 TCU is calibrated with a separate file. The torque limit, shift maps, launch control rpm and clutch torque map are changed. The factory torque limiter in the TCU is usually below what the engine can deliver after Stage 1.
What happens to the Audi RS6 warranty after chip tuning?
The factory warranty of the Audi RS6 does not remain valid after Stage 1 — the manufacturer withdraws its obligations once the ECU software is changed. CHIPOK provides its own warranty on its work and support.
How long does remapping the Audi RS6 take?
On the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp: OBD flash 25-30 minutes, Bench (if required) about an hour. The file processing itself takes 5-30 minutes once the original bin is received.
Is the original file kept when chip tuning the Audi RS6?
Yes, the original ECU firmware of the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp is kept and can be flashed back at any time. Returning to stock via OBD takes 25-30 minutes.
What is the price of a Stage 1 remap for the Audi RS6?
Stage 1 for the Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 560 hp is paid for with CHIPOK credits (1 cr = 1 €). The final amount is set in the calculator, taking the extra options (off functions) into account.
