Unlock the full potential of your vehicle in stock form with the Stage 1 tune from TuneZilla. Carefully developed to extract as much power as possible from the factory-equipped hardware. Developed on Shell 93, our Stage 1 tune for the EA888 EVO4 (315HP) engine found in the MK8 R and S3 is only limited by the factory hardware.
Left Foot BrakingFor enthusiast drivers, we also enable Left Foot Braking and increase the OEM exhaust crackles in Sport Mode.Start/Stop MemoryThe Start/Stop memory function saves the last position of the Start/Stop feature, allowing users to turn OFF the start/stop feature and keep it off between ignition cycles. The stock function is to automatically enable this feature every time the car is started.

" DOWNPIPE TUNE "
Stage 2 is designed for owners who want more grunt from their cars. An aftermarket high-flow catted downpipe or catless downpipe will allow the car to breathe better than the stock downpipe. From stock, the EA888.4 Comes equiped with a larger downpipe and exhaust output than the Previous gen EA888.3 with the IHI series of turbos. This means the gains from just a downpipe are not as significant on the EA888.4 compared to the EA888.3; however, you will still feel the difference and introduce a lot more noise!

After extensive testing TuneZilla is proud to release our solution for DSG-equipped MK8 R, A3, S3 and other models with the "locked" 401 Bootloader. This is a physical hardware change. By removing the mechatronic unit and swapping to our pre-flashed bootloader, users can enjoy more features not available from the factory.
Please Note: The TCU tune comes pre-loaded on the unit and was designed to work with our ECU tune. If you have another company's ECU tune, please ask them for a high TQ file as low TQ options can limit the performance of both ECU and TCU tune.
Running another company's TCU tune will void the warranty offered on our 301 Bootloader units.
