Before and after Racingline PCM install on 8y rs3

[elijahallen]

I ordered a pcm from racingline, the first one they sent me was defective so they sent a replacement. This one worked and is just like stock to drive but with a little bump in power. My car is a 22 8y rs3 with Uni catted DP, Uni 4” inlet, and Apr 4” intake pipe to stock airbox. The only thing changed between these two runs is adding the Racingline PCM. I’m doing a track weekend so I was on cold r comps which didn’t help my 60’ at all from spinning all the way through first.

Thanks for sharing. How was the install? Why PCM instead of a Unitronic flash? I understand PCM when you do not install a downpipe …for dealer visits. I ran a JB4 before going Uni Stage 2, sure developed a dislike for all those vag connectors. :)

Interesting performance, thanks for posting and sharing this data.
I no longer run the drag strips, but do make 3 day a week country
back road runs in our 2019 RS 3. Only changes were wheel and tire
changes to improve handling performance on the back roads at speed
and run only 10am-2pm when these roads are quiet and few others
are on these roads. Great vehicle indeed and certainly happy that
we bought it... even though I've been a BMW man for decades!

There is no flash publicly available for the 8Y RS3 to my knowledge.

No tunes available yet so this is just to tide me over until they become available.

Sir, I live quite close to you. Maybe a meet?

Do you still have this installed?

Sure, we're very easy to get to in Purcellville as we're right off main street on 31st
street, where the end of Purcellville is very near at the Golf Club. You can reach
me at Rod [email protected]. I am retired and involved with a number of things
during the week, so best to set a time visit on a week day.

Seems like you found some free time besides driving between 10am and 2pm on the wining roads (weather permits) on your Michelin 245 tires and Neuspeed wheels.

Still wondering how the original poster is doing with his Racingline PCM box.

I believe he was selling his car:
