Stage 1
The 4.0 TFSI has room for significant additional performance beyond what it comes with from the factory. Our Stage 1 tune unlocks this performance, and delivers a huge increase in power and torque across the rev range, with sharper throttle response, stronger acceleration, and a more consistent delivery of power from low RPM through the upper end of the rev range. Despite the substantial increase in output, power delivery remains smooth and progressive for a refined and usable driving experience.
The Stage 1 tune is designed to work with the factory turbochargers and supporting hardware, so no major hardware upgrades are required. 93 octane / 98 RON fuel and colder spark plugs are required to support the increased power output. The result is a substantial improvement in overall performance while retaining the smooth, consistent characteristics expected from a well-developed tune.
Given the significant increase in performance over stock, it is crucial to ensure the vehicle is mechanically healthy and properly maintained before installing the tune.

Notes
Stage 2
If Stage 1 isn't enough for you, TuneZilla's Stage 2 tune takes the 4.0 TFSI to another level. Built for vehicles equipped with a more complete set of supporting hardware, this tune delivers a huge jump in power and torque over stock, transforming the character of the engine with harder acceleration, stronger response, and a much more aggressive powerband. Power builds quickly and carries strongly through the rev range, giving the engine a level of performance that is a significant step beyond Stage 1.
Upgraded downpipes are required to support the increased airflow, along with 93 octane / 98 RON fuel and colder spark plugs. An upgraded intercooler and intake are recommended to further support the increased output.
This is a substantial increase in performance, so it is crucial that the vehicle is mechanically healthy and properly maintained before installation.
