On Saturday we had an Audi S3 8P Quattro in for a health check and our Stage 1 software.
Whilst we had access to the car, we thought we would do some before and after timed runs. Obviously we had both the customers consent and our testing was carried out on a private road we have access to.
Standard:
Power |
265bhp |

30-50mph |

50-80mph |
4.5sec |
0-100mph |
13.5sec |
Stage 1:
Power |
315bhp |
Torque |
411nm |
0-60mph |
5.8sec |
30-50mph |
2.1sec |
50-80mph |
4.3sec |
0-100mph |
12.4sec |
As you can see by the first image, the conditions were less than favourable with wet ground and poor visibility.
The whole process took less than 2 hours, that’s:
-
Full health check
-
Read the ECU software
-
Collect benchmark figures
-
Modify the original software with our own Stage 1
-
Collect figures with our software loaded
-
Shoot a photo or 2 of the car
