Our ECU software is designed to enhance and increase the driveability of your car. With optimised power delivery you feel a broad horsepower and torque increase across the rev range. The engines differ in terms of turbo's. A typical power gain for each turbo and stock power rating is listed below:

  • IS12 (170/180/190HP) - 230-250HP & 380-430NM

DSG tuning is mandatory.

Please note the figures above are based on a general basis and figures between each car and dyno may differ. If you are opting for a OTS tune these are the figures you should expect. With data logs and custom tuning we find on some cars that you can actually achieve better results on some dynos. Our custom tuned IS38 S3 8V with only turbo elbow and drop in panel filter makes 100-200kmph in 10.2 seconds. A Golf R would be into the 9's and a Cupra could see close to 8's. 

The EA888.3 engine is found across the VAG group some of the models are listed below:

  • Audi A3 8V 1.8TSI (IS12) (DSG: DQ200)
  • Seat Ibiza Cupra (IS12) (DQ200)
  • Seat Leon 1.8T (IS12) (DQ200)
  • Volkswagen Polo GTI

Please note there are additional models such as the Audi A4/5 and Q5 which feature the EA888.3 engine with Simos18 management. If you are unsure whether you car is covered please contact us to discuss.

If you require a remote tune please contact us to discuss the best option for you. We offer a couple of options on this platform. The prices shown are for the software to be applied within 30 miles of our base in Norfolk.
