AUDI RS3 (8Y) 2020- ENGINE CODES – DNWC
STOCK POWER – 400PS STOCK TORQUE – 500NM
Audi RS3 8Y | 2.5 TFSI (DNWC)

Currently we have Stage 1 & Stage 2 packages available for the Audi RS3 8Y boosting performance by up to 35% with Stage 3 in development.

*Please note* The TCU on these cars is currently locked we will patch the TCU via the ECU to work with the additional power of the Stages.

The highest specification AUDI RS 3 has 0-60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration time of 3.8 seconds.

With the AUDI RS Dynamic package the speed limiter is removed, allowing the RS3 to reach a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph) It gets a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, or an electric S-Tronic gearbox.

The US-market RS3 produces marginally more power than the European RS3, at a claimed 401 hp (299 kW; 407 PS). This is partially due to the lack of a petrol particulate filter for US model cars, as it is not required to meet emissions standards. The US-market RS3 instead receives a secondary catalytic converter.

STAGE 1 PACKAGE DETAILS

Experiencing Stock to Stage 1 power for the first time always puts a smile on the customers face, finally the car is tuned to its true potential and feels like it should. Our Stage 1 Audi tuning package for the Audi RS3 8Y 2.5L TFSI truly delivers impressive power gains, boosting power output by 15% and torque by as much as 25% over stock limited by the Gearbox.

Stage 1 tuning of a car refers to a set of modifications that enhance the vehicle’s performance, typically without requiring significant changes to its internal components or a lot of downtime. It gains a noticeable increase in power and driving experience without going overboard with complex upgrades.

Here’s a breakdown of what the MRC Stage 1 Package for the Audi RS3 8Y includes:

  • In-house developed MRC ECU Stage 1 Remap

The most common part of Stage 1 tuning is adjusting the car’s Engine Control Unit (ECU), which governs the performance parameter settings like air-fuel mixture, ignition timing, and boost levels. This Stage 1 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 without requiring any mechanical changes. This is the most cost-effective and non-invasive method to improve performance whilst staying extremely safe but usually producing more power and torque than our competitors whilst maintaining a safer tune.

Booking information

    • We would require a deposit of £150 to secure your booking and a couple of hours to carry out the work.

STAGE 1 GAINS : +40-60PS +80-130nm

You should see around 440-460ps / 580-630nm (Limited by GPF)

There is no gearbox map for this car currently we will patch the TCU via the ECU to work with the additional power – Once the ECU is unlocked further map/tweaks apply at the normal rate.

STAGE 1 + INTAKE PACKAGE DETAILS

Our Stage 1 + Intake Audi tuning package for the Audi RS3 8y 2.5L TFSI it will boost power output as much as 17-20% and torque by 28-30% over stock.

This map takes into consideration the upgrades and will increase power and torque with the newly available headroom.

  • 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.

  • Upgraded Inlet pipes

Upgrading the inlet pipes helps with better airflow, more power, faster turbo response, and will improve the overall efficiency and longevity of the turbo system for future stages of tune and ultimately increasing horsepower and torque.

STAGE 1 + INTAKE : +50-70PS +120-140nm

  • You should see around 450-470ps / 620-640nm (Limited by GPF)

*PLEASE NOTE* There is no gearbox map for this car currently we will patch the TCU via the ECU to work with the additional power  – Once the ECU is unlocked further map/tweaks apply at the normal rate.

STAGE 2 PACKAGE DETAILS

Stage 2 tuning of a car refers to hardware adjustments like upgraded or larger intercoolers, downpipes, or intake/exhaust modifications. This package will give usually boost power output by up to 35% but also the torque figures will increase by up to 30-35% over stock (Limited by TCU).

Here’s a breakdown of what the MRC Stage 2 Package for the Audi RS3 8Y includes:

  • In-house developed MRC ECU Stage 2 Remap

Building on the Stage 1 tuning package of the ECU this Stage 2 remap will take advantage of the extra hardware upgrades with a more bespoke tune that will optimize the power output and torque whilst staying extremely safe. This map takes into consideration the upgrades and will increase power and torque with the newly available headroom.

  • 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.

  • Upgraded Inlet pipes

Upgrading the inlet pipes helps with better airflow, more power, faster turbo response, and will improve the overall efficiency and longevity of the turbo system for future stages of tune and ultimately increasing horsepower and torque.

  • Upgraded Intercooler

Fitting a larger and more efficient intercooler helps maintain lower intake temperatures, preventing heat-induced power loss and ensuring consistent performance.

  • Downpipe

Fitting upgraded downpipes provide greater increases in horsepower and torque on turbocharged vehicles by allowing exhaust gasses to flow easier as they leave the turbo.

Booking information

    • We would require a non refundable deposit of £1,500 to secure parts and booking, and for the car to be left with us for a couple of days to carry out the work.

STAGE 2 GAINS : +90-120ps +150nm

  • You should see around : 490-520ps and 650nm
