Audi R8 V10 Facelift on the dyno for ECU and TCU with Multimap map switching options

The Audi R8 (Type 4S) is the second generation of the R8 and comes in 2 variants, coupe and spyder.

Performance figures include a 0–100 km/h (0–60 mph) acceleration time of 3.5 seconds for the base model and 3.1 seconds for the V10 Performance quattro model. Top speed for the V10 Performance quattro is 330 km/h (205 mph).

Multimap options for this platform

This car can have the map switching option for an extra cost of £180+Vat plus dyno time which can vary depending on the options you choose. *Please note we only do map switching with a minimum of 3 maps*

The usual configuration of maps would consist of:

Map2: 99 RON + Octane booster

Map3: Immobiliser

STAGE 2 PACKAGE DETAILS

Our Stage 2 Audi tuning package for the Audi R8 V10 PLUS 5.2 FSI (4S) will boost power output and torque throughout the rev range giving a noticeable improvement in driveability

Stage 2 tuning of a car refers to a set of modifications that enhance the vehicle’s performance through bolt on modifications such as Exhausts, downpipes and Intakes due to being naturally aspirated the gains you will achieve with Stage 2 will not be as much as with a forced induction but still a noticeable improvement and extra features such as Map switching, Switchable extended OE crackle and Cold start options.

Here’s a breakdown of what the MRC Stage 2 Package for the Audi R8 V10 PLUS 5.2 FSI (4S) includes:

  • In-house developed MRC ECU Stage 2 Remap

The most common part of Stage 2 tuning is adjusting the car’s Engine Control Unit (ECU), which governs the performance parameter settings like air-fuel mixture and ignition timing. This Stage 2 remap is the culmination of months of dedicated work by our highly skilled engineers at MRC Tuning working on a bespoke tune that will optimize these settings to increase power output, torque, and fuel efficiency. This is the first stage of tuning for a N/A car to improve performance whilst staying extremely safe.

  • Gearbox Tune

Tuning a Transmission Control Unit (TCU) refers to modifying the software that controls the automatic transmission in a vehicle. The TCU is responsible for shifting gears, controlling torque delivery, and optimizing the performance of the transmission. Just like with engine tuning (ECU), TCU tuning can enhance driving dynamics, performance, and efficiency.

  • Upgraded Air filter

Upgrading to a high-flow air filter or a performance intake system helps the engine get more air, leading to better combustion and more power.
A better intake allows the engine to breathe more freely, improving throttle response and overall performance.

  • Milltek Catback Exhaust System

Fitting an upgraded catback exhaust system provide greater increases in horsepower and torque by using a more efficient design and larger bore pipes, which in turn allow exhaust gasses to flow easier as they leave the engine. This system will be louder than stock but still retains the OEM emission control systems for MOT.

Engine related FAQ

All tuned Vehicles should be ran on Audi long-life 5W40 oil.

All 2.0L 2.5L and 4L engines should be ran on NGK race plugs once tuned.

Please let us know if service work needs to be added to your estimate

Service Intervals:

  • Oil and filter change once a year or every 10k
  • Major engine service every 2 years or every 20k
  • Transmission (gearbox, haldex, diffs, transfer box) should be done every 3-4 years, every 35k
    • Depending on how the car is driven, if the car is driven hard/ abused etc then these intervals should be cut in half.

Fuel

Please make sure your car arrives with at least half a tank of fuel and is always run on the best fuel, either Tesco 99 Momentum or Shell Vpower

Coilpacks

Please be aware that old coilpacks can fail when running more power, causing a misfire, please make sure you have newest revision coilpacks before booking in, or let us know and we can add these to the estimate and replace on the day.

Labour rates

Our standard labour rate is charged at £109+vat unlress the vehicle is tuned by ourselves and we are supplying and fitting all parts then it is discounted to £92.50+Vat
