Chip tuning for Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp ECU
Audi S8 (2019 - D5) 4.0 TFSI 571 hp — premium hybrid engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) group (Германия, 1909). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 571 to 610 hp (+39 hp, +7%) and torque from 800 to 900 Nm (+100 Nm). ECU — Bosch MG1CS008. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The ZF AL552 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 Audi community is one of the most active in Europe for chip tuning. 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. The Audi e-tron is the all-electric line within VAG. The Audi RS e-tron GT is Audi Sport's top electric series. On pure-EV Audi models, the inverter and BMS are locked; conventional chip tuning does not apply.
Protection on modern Audi RS models is the tightest in the group, so Bench is required. With a downpipe, intake and intercooler, Audi RS engines confidently reach Stage 2. The Audi community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. 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).
S tronic comes in dry and wet-clutch versions, each with a different torque rating. S tronic is Audi's signature dual-clutch gearbox (the DSG in the Audi range). The S tronic TCU requires calibration at Stage 1+, as the torque limiter usually sits below the engine's potential.
Frequently asked questions
How many horsepower does the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp reach after a remap?
After Stage 1 the power of the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp rises from 571 to 610 hp, a gain of 39 hp (+7%). Torque rises from 800 to 900 Nm (+100 Nm).
How does Stage 1 differ from stock on the Audi S8?
Stage 1 on the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp is a software ECU calibration with no hardware changes. The key maps (boost/ignition/lambda/torque) are adjusted while factory tolerances are preserved. The gain is +39 hp with no hardware changes.
What does Stage 1 give on the top-spec Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp?
Stage 1 for the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 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 does Stage 2 differ from Stage 1 on the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp?
Stage 2 on the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp means software + hardware (exhaust, intake, intercooler). The gain depends on the specific hardware combination.
What control unit does the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp run?
The control unit of the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp is the Bosch MG1CS008. Before flashing, the engineer identifies the exact revision and selects the write method.
Does the ZF AL552 transmission need calibration after Stage 1 on the Audi S8?
Remapping the ZF AL552 gearbox is essential to fully unlock Stage 1 on the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp. Without a TCU update the factory torque cap will choke the torque gain and shifts will become noticeably softer.
Does Stage 1 void the warranty on the Audi S8?
Stage 1 on the Audi S8 voids the factory warranty on the engine and transmission — this is standard for all manufacturers. CHIPOK provides its own warranty on the quality of the remap.
How quickly is chip tuning of the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp done?
The full remap cycle for the Audi S8 — from reading to writing the final file — takes 30-90 minutes depending on the ECU access method. The file is prepared at CHIPOK in 5-30 minutes.
Can you return to stock after Stage 1 on the Audi S8?
The original Audi S8 ECU is always saved before flashing. Rolling back to the factory firmware is done with the same programmer in 25-30 minutes.
How much does Stage 1 cost for the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp?
The cost of Stage 1 for the Audi S8 4.0 TFSI 571 hp is calculated in the calculator on this page — you select the options (DPF off, EGR off, AdBlue off, DTC off, etc.) and the price is capped by the package Max Price. Payment is by credits (1 cr = 1 €), with no subscriptions.
