We custom tuned this 8V RS3 to "Stage 2". The owner wanted to be able to have overrun pops and bangs but turn them off whenever he wanted. He also requested that the exhaust valves be always open in dynamic mode.
- Stage 2 ECU tune
- TCU Tuned to suit (shift points, shift speeds, torque limits etc)
- Start stop button function inverted (default position being start/stop off)
- Pops and bangs in dynamic mode only
- Exhaust flaps open all the time in dynamic mode only
This T5 came to us after the owner had done an ASZ engine conversion (converted from the original AXD / AXC engine to the ASZ). He decided to keep the ASZ injectors (038130073AL) and turbo (Garrett GT1749va) which meant that the EDC16 ECU would need to be recalibrated for the van to run smoothly and safely with these components from an EDC15 car fitted.
When the van arrived I started by writing a base tune for the injectors so that I could check the health of the van - once that was completed and the van was idling smoothly (the injectors will cause a rough idle when not "mapped in") I performed my other usual health checks to ensure the injectors are in good health and the timing is correct and boost control is working etc. and proceeded with tuning. This van was still using the original 5 speed gearbox so I tuned it with smooth torque onset in mind, bringing the fuelling and boost on more gradually to give the box a fighting chance. At the owners request we didn't go crazy on the power - so we ended up at 165bhp and 370nm of torque! This setup would be capable of 175bhp and 420nm very easily with a 6 speed gearbox.
We have tuned 100's of these conversions in T5's, caddy's, MK5 golf's, MK2 Seat Leon's etc. so please get in touch if you need any advise or if you need your car/van tuning!
This 2.0TDI Audi A1 came to us beautifully prepared by its’ owner. They had not skimped on parts and the proof is in the results…
The CFHD engine comes out of the factory with ~140bhp and ~235ft/lb of torque.
With a free flowing exhaust system, some air intake modifications, and a Darkside Developments FMIC kit fitted (along with a base tune for the supporting mods) it made a very healthy 155bhp and 274ft/lb.
After we had revised the tune completed some more data logging we were finally at 198bhp and 350ft/lb of torque! This is a smoke free tune on the standard turbo. Dyno graph below!
