AUDI S3 8V TUNING
The Audi S3 8V is one of our most popular hot hatches in our workshop. We have been tuning the EA888 2.0T S3 since 2015 for fast road and track use. With our ECU tuning the 8V S3 will achieve a sub 4 second to 60mph and onward to 180mph which is sports car pace from this brilliant all round hot hatch.
PE Stage 1 Tune
Typical results 370bhp & 500nm
Our PE custom ECU software has been extensively developed with many hours of testing on our dyno, road and track days to ensure our calibration performs 100% in all environments.
Every vehicle has a full diagnostic and health check carried out prior to tuning as well as full engine data logging to fine to the ECU.
PE Stage 1 ECU tune requires zero hardware changes but recommended running 99RON for best results and fuel efficiency.
Before and after dyno printout provided upon completion.

PE Stage 1+ Tune
Typical results 385bhp & 520nm
PE Stage 1+ ECU Tune gives that extra responds, performance and sound over our Stage 1 tune. An upgraded intake system and exhaust with a decat/sport is required for this stage.
Overall driveabilty is greatly improved due to the engines improved ability to consume a greater volume of air, coupled with the more free flowing exhaust, allows for that increase of performance.
We have tested multiple intake and exhaust setups on and off our dyno and recommend the Forge turbo pipe mated to a Racingline R600 intake with a Milltek Turbo back exhaust, available from our online shop.

PE Stage 2 Tune
Typical results 400bhp & 530nm
PE Stage 2 ECU tune is where the maximum performance and efficiency is to be extracted from the OEM turbo.
Stage 2 requires Stage 1 hardware combined with an upgraded intercooler, this helps reduce engines intake temperatures by 20 degrees.
With some further fine tuning to the ECU calibration the 2.0T EA888 engine can produce some very impressive figures.

PE DSG TUNE
Our DSG tuning really maximises the experience of driving a PE tuned performance vehicle.
For the S3 which utilises a DQ250 & DQ381 gearbox for the facelitf models, we are able to improve on the OEM calibration.
Faster and more precise shift speeds
Full manual mode enabled - full control via paddles
Kickdown disabled in manual mode
Raised torque limiter
Increase clamping pressure
Improved launch control

UPGRADED MANUAL CLUTCH
The stock manual clutch on the latest MQB 2.0T vehicles are very weak, some having issues at stock power.
We tune the manual variants slightly different to try and be more clutch friendly and Stage 1 tunes are at the limit for a healthy clutch. If you are looking to extract more performance from your S3 then this will be required.
We offer a service to supply and fit an upgraded clutch with fresh gearbox fluid and slave. Sachs clutches come in two torque levels, Organic at 550nm or Sintered at 745nm.

CHASSIS UPGRADES
Like our performance packages we have tested a number of chassis upgrades for fast road and track use.
We offer two option, H&R Lowering springs with spacers for the fast road use. This setup gives a brilliant improvement in handling stability and response with the more sporty and purposeful stance.
For track use we offer coilover setup, this allows for a more focused suspension setup which is fully adjustable to suit your driving preferences. We supply and install Bilstien or BC Racing which both can be bought on our online Shop.

BRAKES
Braking setups are one of the most important areas which is often overlooked. As with our chassis upgrades we offer a fast road and track use setups.
The fast road uses EBC Grooved Discs with Ferodo DS2500 brake pads with Motul RBF600 fluid is a brilliant upgrade over stock, offering greatly improved stopping distances with a great pedal feel.
For track use the EBC Grooved disc is used but with a more aggressive track focused brake pad such as the Pagid RS29. This setup is brilliant for hard sustained use which brakes are subjected too on track.
