VAG 2.0TDI Racingline Power Control Module (EA288 EVO)
All of our 2.0 TDI applications (currently only for the MQB ‘Evo’ cars such as Golf mk8, Audi A3 8Y etc, post-2020) have been calibrated to focus on delivering a smooth spread of diesel torque right across the rev range, rather than just focussing on peak power.
It’s called the ‘area under the curve’, and that’s what gives a car it’s feeling of power and speed. That’s what our calibration engineers focus on at all times. Take a look at the dyno curves (at the bottom of this page) for each 2.0 TDI engine derivative to see this area under the curve difference for your car.

How PCM works
PCM works on a standalone PCB, which communicates with the factory ECU. Developed by RacingLine’s own in-house calibration experts over the past 12 months, it allows the car to safely increase power and torque levels.
Of course, we know that many customers will want to have a full ECU calibration as soon as it’s available – and who can blame them?
So uniquely, RacingLine will give any PCM customer a free upgrade to our OEM+ calibrations as soon as they are available, whenever you are ready – as long as you purchase your PCM unit from one of our OEM+ dealers.
