Audi S5 4.2L V8 (EA824)
The naturally aspirated 4.2L V8 found in the Audi S5 is one of Audi’s most iconic engines — offering a balance of smooth, high-revving performance and robust power delivery. Our TuneZilla Stage 1 ECU calibration enhances throttle response, optimizes ignition and fuel mapping, and refines torque management to unlock additional horsepower and drivability, all while maintaining OEM-level reliability and smoothness.
Stage 1 Tune
Description:
Stage 1 is designed for vehicles running stock hardware and 93 octane fuel. Through precise recalibration of the factory ECU, we’ve improved throttle response and torque delivery across the entire RPM range. This results in a sharper, more responsive drive and a noticeable increase in midrange performance.

Notes
⚠️ Note: proper supporting upgrades and regular maintenance are strongly recommended.
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.
