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.

91 octane can be suppored VIA support ticket, but 93 octane is recommended for optimal power and proper gains.
Notes
Clutch upgrade is highly recommended for Stage 2 tunes due to the increased Torque
DSG tune is highly recommended for Stage 2 tunes to maintain drivability with increased torque

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.

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.
OPTIMIZED SHIFT PATTERNS FOR BETTER ECONOMY AND ACCELERATION
INCREASED LAUNCH CONTROL RPM
REMOVE AUTOMATIC UPSHIFTS IN FULL MANUAL MODE
INCREASED CLUTCH PRESSURE FOR HIGHER TORQUE TUNES
FASTER GEAR ENGAGEMENT FOR QUICKER SHIFTS
DRIVE AND SPORT MODES RECALIBRATED FOR THE ENTHUSIAST DRIVER
TORQUE LIMITER RAISED
