Audi S1 8X 2.0 TFSI (CWZA)

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 S1 8X 2.0 TFSI (CWZA) truly delivers impressive power gains, boosting power output as much as 45% over stock.

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 S1 8X 2.0 TFSI (CWZA) 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 safe tune.

• 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.

Stage 2 tuning of a car refers to hardware adjustments like upgraded or larger intercoolers, downpipes, or intake/exhaust modifications. Stage 1 to Stage 2 power will only usually boost power output by not only 5%-10% but also the torque figures will increase by up to 15-20% which is a noticeable improvement that you can feel.

Here’s a breakdown of what the MRC Stage 2 Package for the Audi S1 8X 2.0 TFSI (CWZA) 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.

• Upgraded Intercooler

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

• Downpipe and Exhaust

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.

• Upgraded Clutch kit

Fitting an upgraded pressure plate and clutch disc will to cope with the extra torque from the Stage 2 remap.

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.

• • Please read our frequently asked questions at the bottom of this page to see if it answers any other questions you may have.

Stage 3 tuning of a car refers to hardware adjustments like larger turbochargers, intercoolers, downpipes, upgraded injectors, fuel pump/rail and intake modifications. Stage 2 to Stage 3 usually boosts power output by 25% due to the larger turbo which is a noticeable improvement over Stage 2. To put it in perspective Stage 3 boosts the power of the Audi S1 8X 2.0 TFSI (CWZA) up to 80% over stock.

Here’s a breakdown of what the MRC Stage 3 Package for the Audi S1 8X 2.0 TFSI (CWZA) includes:

• In-house developed MRC ECU Stage 3 Remap

Building on the Stage 2 tuning package of the ECU this Stage 3 remap will take advantage of the extra hardware upgrades with a more bespoke tune that will optimize the power output and torque whilst staying as safe as possible.

• Upgraded Turbocharger

Fitting a larger turbocharger work better at higher engine speeds (RPM). This is because the larger turbine and compressor are designed to flow more air at high speeds, and they can sustain higher levels of boost without getting overwhelmed. We have chosen a balanced turbocharger for this package that gives optimum driveability with maximum power levels.

• Upgraded Fuel pump

More boost requires more fueling so the fuel pump will be upgraded to cope with the extra flow needed.

• Upgraded Intercooler

Fitting a larger and more efficient intercooler helps maintain lower intake temperatures, preventing heat-induced power loss and ensuring consistent performance and will cope with the extra stresses of the new turbocharger.

• Downpipe and Exhaust

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

STAGE 3 is at your own risk. We will map the car to be as safe and powerful as it can be but increasing the power and torque so far beyond the factory specification means it will need appropriately reduced service intervals and maintenance.
