Audi S3 Tuning 8V packages with our performance upgrades taking these cars over 400bhp while still retaining well over 30MPG and having all the usual refinement of a VAG group car what’s not to like about the Audi S3 or VW Golf R?
The engines in these cars benefit massively from our Audi S3 Tuning 8V packages and it’s not uncommon to see circa 380bhp on a completely standard engine. However some considerations need to be made. For a manual car the torque output does have to be limited unless an uprated clutch is fitted. DSG or S Tronic models fitted with the DQ250 gearbox handle the torque much better but do benefit from a DSG recalibration above the HT365 package.
The Audi S3 8V shares many similarities with it’s VW Golf R Mk7 twin. The power plant and Quattro Haldex systems both identical however surprisingly the Audi is apparently the slightly lighter of the two potentially giving a very minimal performance advantage. The CJXC, CJXB and CJXF engines as fitted to these cars all produce roughly the same power output once tuned despite giving slightly different outputs from factory.
Audi S3 Tuning 8V Package HT365
Our first tuning stage for the Audi 8V or Mk7 Golf R (HT365) takes the power output of this EA888 engine up to 365BHP and 480Nm. Our calibration has been designed to work on a completely original car and no hardware modification’s are necessary. Over 50 hours of dyno time and road testing has got us to a point with the calibration where we are seeing very good performance combined with OEM levels of reliability. It’s important to note that special care is taken not to overspeed the IS38 turbocharger as there are a few reports of premature failures.
Manual cars on a standard clutch will have the torque output limited to 450Nm to prolong the life of the clutch.
