The 1.8 20v Turbo engine is a superb base for tuning, with a huge list of stock components as well as aftermarket, the potential for tuning this engine is huge. Running a large flow capacity KO4 turbo, it?s good for higher pressures and more power than the KO3 range in the lower power variants. The performance gains from software alone are impressive! Check out our Stage 2 & 3 conversions if modified software alone isn't enough as this engine has the capability of 400bhp with the right setup! We develop all of our software on the rolling road to ensure accuracy in terms of both power delivery and also to ensure fuelling, boost pressures and exhaust gas temperatures are all within tolerance. Our aim is for maximum power whilst maintaining optimum reliability.

Hello i have just had my Audi S3 remapped ....all I can say is its worth every penny it now flies, it was a quick car before the remap but now its completely different. If Audi put these cars for sale with this much power they would have sold hundreds/thousands more.

If your thinking of getting your car remapped use these guys YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED! Only problem is its costing more in petrol ONLY because i cant stop driving it all the time. Top job thanks.

Alongside the engine control unit (ECU) we are also able to provide transmission control unit (TCU) software to help further enhance your vehicle. There is a lot of limitation built into modern gearbox software to help hold back the power gains you are trying to achieve from your engine, our gearbox software overcomes this and helps transform the way the car drives. Some of the modifications include raising maximum torque limiters, faster gear shift speeds, increased clamping pressures to prevent clutch wear, increased engine RPM limiters and much more…
