We're excited to announce our Engine Control Unit (ECU) Upgrades are now available for the North American Audi RS Q8 4.0 TFSI engine with the Bosch MG1 ECU! Expect massive gains with up to 685-767 HP and 731-804 FT-LBS of torque on tap, depending on octane, from this simple software upgrade.

Our new suite of MG1 ECU software comes after months of extensive research and development that is typically absent from the aftermarket. Our upgrade makes the engine more powerful and more exciting. We’ve extensively calibrated the system to work flawlessly on the track, while retaining safety routines to protect your engine in the most demanding scenarios. This was all made possible by our engineering team's pursuit of perfection. Development vehicles were outfitted with additional sensors, including turbo shaft speed sensors, thermocouples, transducers, and more, along with our high speed direct RAM logging equipment, to feed valuable data to the team for analysis. After thousands of hours of testing and tuning we created new calibrations that are fine tuned for several octanes and contain hundreds of map changes, with a vast array of safety features built in.

Can this work with SQ7/SQ8?

It doesn't. We are tuning those separately.

We have one lined up for tuning, so probably a month or so.

[mashford]

Yes!

Any love for Porsche Cayenne Turbo?

[Arin@APR]

Not quite yet, but it's very possible. It's probably extremely similar to the RS Q8. We'll just have to do a bunch of verification on our end with a car in house.

Just had my RS Q8 upgraded to Stage I on Friday, and it’s outstanding. It’s been about 7 years since I’ve been an APR customer (took an AMG detour), and I am really happy to see that you still deliver what I consider the best ECU upgrades in the business. This 5,300lb beast pulls harder now with Stage I than my E63 wagon did with a complete Stage II package.

[Arin@APR]

Welcome back! Thank you!

Just got mine done. Still early but so far it is a game changer.

[Elitersq8]

I’m interested in trying this tune out as I am not happy with my current tune… does anybody have videos of a apr rsq8?

[DROSE]

Any thoughts on a stage 2 tune for exhaust/CEL?

Who are you using now for your RSQ8? Why are you not happy?
