Stage 1 is designed for owners looking for a straightforward performance upgrade while retaining the factory hardware. The calibration improves throttle response, sharpens power delivery, and delivers a more responsive driving experience without requiring additional modifications.
The 4.2L V8 is what defines the B6/B7 S4, and Stage 1 lets it shine. Improved throttle response and refined power delivery make the car feel more eager throughout the rev range, all while retaining the character and responsiveness that enthusiasts love about Audi's naturally aspirated V8.

Our DSG tune is a complete re-work of the factory DSG settings. We’ve worked with our calibrators to bring you a perfect all around package that enhances drivability and increases enjoyment. In manual mode, you have full control of your upshifts with the “auto up-shift” disabled. Clutch pressure is increased across all drive modes to handle the increased torque from our Stage 1 or 2 files.
