Audi S3 Tuning 8V Mk2 with our performance upgrades taking these cars over 500bhp 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 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 8V.2 S3 shares many similarities with its VW Golf R Mk7.5 twin. The CJXG power plant and Quattro Haldex systems are both identical however surprisingly the Audi is apparently the slightly lighter of the two potentially giving a very minimal performance advantage.
Audi S3 Tuning 8V Mk2 HT365 Package
Our first tuning stage for the Audi 8V.2 or Mk7.5 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.
