Racingline Audi S3 (8V) Performance Software & PDM (Flash at Home)

The Racingline Software PDM Bundle is specifically designed for the EA888.3 engine fitted with the IS38 Turbo found in the Audi S3. This bundle provides an excellent way to boost your vehicle’s performance while keeping reliability intact. It adjusts essential settings to optimise your engine’s output, enhancing your overall driving experience.

What the PDM Bundle Does

This bundle includes a home tuning device and software that enhance engine mapping and boost control. By fine-tuning these parameters, you can expect a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque.

What’s Required?

• A Windows 10/11 Laptop with USB & Power Supply
• Secure wired (or very stable Wifi) high-speed broadband internet.
• Vehicle Battery Charging Support (20AMP minimum) CTEK brand recommended
• Available mains electricity for the above.

Considerations

While this upgrade can lead to significant performance improvements, please keep the following factors in mind:

• Clutch: If your vehicle has a manual transmission, we recommend upgrading your clutch before tuning, as the increase in torque may exceed the stock clutch’s capabilities.
• TCU Software: For vehicles with DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox), consider pairing with the ECU+TCU software bundle. This ensures smooth gear changes and manages the additional torque effectively.
• Fuel Grade: The performance figures provided are based on using 99RON fuel. If 99RON is not accessible, 95RON files are available, though the peak figures will be slightly lower. Note: do not use 95RON fuel if your vehicle is tuned for 99RON.

Ready for more?

Don’t forget, once you purchase Racingline software, the upgrade from Stage 1 to Stage 2 is free!

This provides you with an upgrade path for Stage 2 tuning; further hardware upgrades will be necessary, alongside transmission or TCU improvements. Required components include:

• Performance Air Intake and Turbo Inlet Elbow
• Performance Intercooler
• Performance Downpipe

If you are looking for more than stage 1, we recommend getting in touch with us first to plan your upgrade.

What happens next?

• Place your order online using your preferred payment method.
• Our team will contact you directly via email to confirm and set up your digital Racingline account.
• We’ll ship your PDM tool directly to you, with access to the correct software for your vehicle, ready to use as soon as it arrives!

Prefer to use our expert workshop?

If all the above sounds a bit too complex or time-consuming, have our expert workshop complete the tuning at our Manchester premises. Full pre-tuning health checks, data-logging and testing completed (included in the software charge). Contact the sales team for more information on our workshop services.

*These stock figures represent the lowest powered specification available. All of the variants of the S3 (280-310) produce the same peak figures when tuned.
