TuneZilla proudly offers this stage 1 solution for the Gen 3 2.0T. Calibrations for this Stage 1 tune were performed on a hub dyno for accuracy and road tested and logged for consistency. We've adjusted fuel trim and timing to optimize power. The power gains are realized with stock hardware, leading to a 16+% Torque gain and a 20+% Horsepower gain. Upgraded air intake and other cooling system upgrades may be used to see even more gains. With peak boost increased from 15psi to 21psi and throttle input adjusted, your A4 will drive the way you've come to expect from the 4 rings.
At TuneZilla, we strive for an OEM level of drivability and reliability. Our team of Calibrators from around the world painstakingly works to deliver repeatable performance on all of our base maps. One of the major differences between our tunes and most of our competitors' tunes is our linear OEM-like throttle response. Where some software tuners increase throttle response to mask the actual output of their tunes by giving a very peaky feeling under acceleration, our tunes are designed to make the most usable and consistent power curve possible to maintain a strong pull without a heavy fall off midway through the power band. All while generating peak power as early as possible in the RPM range. Most off-the-shelf tunes advertise an attractive peak power figure, but suffer from a sudden drop in torque and a lower torque curve throughout the remainder of the RPM range.

TuneZilla proudly offers this stage 2 solution for the Gen 3 2.0T. Calibrations for this Stage 2 tune were performed on a hub dyno for accuracy and road tested and logged for consistency. To achieve the advertised figures. We've adjusted fuel trim and timing to optimize power output on 93 octane. This nets an incredible 38% Torque gain and a 31% Horsepower gain. Peak boost is also adjusted from 15psi to 26psi. Paired with our DSG tune, the Stage 2 package brings the Gen 3 2.0T into a whole new realm of driver enjoyment.

TuneZilla is proud to introduce our first Big Turbo + MPI package for the B9 A4/A5 platform. Built for owners looking to push their vehicle well beyond its factory limits, this package combines our software with the supporting hardware needed to take the 2.0T to the next level.
This is far more than a simple boost increase. The tune is built around the upgraded turbo and MPI setup to deliver substantially more airflow, fueling, and power throughout the rev range. The result is an aggressive, high-output setup that transforms the character of the 2.0T and delivers the performance to match.
Due to the increased power and torque, this setup can place significant additional stress on drivetrain components under extreme conditions. The vehicle should be in proper mechanical condition, and supporting hardware must be appropriately matched to the power level.

* An ethanol sensor is required to use the flex fuel functions of the tune. Without a flex fuel sensor installed, the ECU will not adjust to any ethanol content. You do not need a flex fuel sensor if you plan to run pump gas (93 octane) only.
TuneZilla is proud to announce flex fuel files for the B9 A4/A5. This is fully integrated into the factory ECU and the car's system, allowing users to read ethanol content from the driver's seat using the tacho.
Flex Fuel is made possible by upgrading the fuelling system and adding an ethanol sensor. Benefits of ethanol is the cooling effect it has on the intake air temps. Lowering the risk of knock, more efficiency during combustion, and allows timing to be advanced even further to produce more horsepower. The true flex fuel tune allows the vehicle to self-adjust the power output based on the ethanol content in your fuel. Simply add E85 to your tank and let the vehicle do all the math to adjust timing and boost. MPI is required to go Flex!
To utilize the flex fuel features of this tune, you will need to have an ethanol sensor installed. The ECU will automatically detect if a sensor is installed and will adjust maps based on ethanol content. If you do not have an ethanol sensor installed, the map will not change from the 93 octane calibration.
This tune is not just a basic off-the-shelf tune but a fully dialed-in tune meant to push your car without sacrificing reliability and safety. Due to variations in local fuel, hardware discrepancies, and vehicle condition, data logging will be required to ensure the tune is working as intended.
Data logging is required to ensure customer satisfaction and engine longevity. Our goal is to provide you with the best tuning solution for your hardware setup.

Custom Tuning starts at $1699. To get a more accurate cost on your custom tune, please create a ticket and tell us more about your build, and your specific modifications.
If you feel that our existing tune offerings will not work for your application or your intended use, you can request Custom Tuning. Custom Tuning must be requested through our Tickets, and you must provide vehicle information as well as hardware (upgrades) information. Once submitted, our team of calibrators will evaluate your request and determine if Custom Tuning can achieve your goals and if they are able, your Tune Request will be accepted.
Custom Tuning requires heavy participation from the Customer, either through an Authorized TZ Dealer or the Customer themselves. TuneZilla Calibrators will require that the vehicle has access to dyno time when needed, and data logging is required. If you are not comfortable with data logging, and if you may not be able to access a facility with a dyno (many facilities will rent dyno time) custom tuning may not be possible for you.
Custom Tuning vs. Off The Shelf Tuning
We understand that our end users have varying driving styles and build purposes, which is why we offer revisions on all of our Off-The-Shelf tunes. By offering Custom Tuning to our customers, we can be sure you are getting the most out of your vehicle with your specific parts upgrades. Our OTS (off-the-shelf) maps are tested in house with as many variables as possible to ensure even if you don’t want to customize your tune, your vehicle’s OEM sensors and adaptations will still be able to optimize our tunes to your region’s fuel and most bolt-on upgrades. Tune Revisions are not the same as Custom Tunes. See our Terms and Conditions for our re-tune policy (section 4b)
We believe it’s important for our customers to understand what is happening inside their engine so they can make informative decisions. Our LOG VIEWER automatically generates your vehicles data log .csv files into easy to read graphs which can then be viewed by our Calibrators to find areas of optimization on your vehicle. Not only can this data be used to optimize your tunes, but a lot of troubleshooting and diagnosing can be done by comparing requested data to actual data at a glance.
In many cases, custom tuning is not required. If you are unsure if you will benefit from a Custom Tune, you can reach out to our team and upload data logs for them to examine.

We are constantly learning from real world feedback and testing. After a year of real world use and customer feedback, we have developed two variations of TCU calibrations to cater to a wider range of driving styles. This update to the TCU catalog was an effort to reduce the amount of additional costs to customers who choose custom TCU tuning. Pulling from a variety of driving styles and customer requests, we have released an Autobahn tune, and a Nur-Spec tune.
Autobahn
Nur-Spec
The Autobahn calibration is for the long distance hyper-miler.
With shift points that are designed to keep you in the most efficient gear for maximum fuel efficiency, the Autobahn TCU file is great for highway commuters and long distance drivers who spend most of their time in the right lane maximizing their fuel range.
The Nur-Spec calibration is for the left lane passer and the weekend adventurer.
Adjusting the shift points to be more active and stay within a comfortable powerband for adventuring or left lane passing, the Nur-Spec TCU file is fantastic for those that like to have their vehicle ready to deploy torque at a moments notice with minimal downshifts.
Flash your vehicle in the comfort of your own driveway or garage using our TuneZilla Portal App and FlashZilla Pro dongle. Download your tune directly to your laptop and flash your vehicle anywhere.
Tune files can be modified through our InstaTune server so that you can upgrade your tune anytime.
