Unlock the Autobahn Potential of Your Audi

Precision Engineering meets Unrestricted Performance.

Your Audi is a masterpiece of German engineering, designed for the limitless speeds of the Autobahn. However, to meet strict North American regulations, the factory software (ECU) drastically limits the engine's true output. The Stage 3 Vorsprung Performance Module is the digital key to unlocking the machine hidden underneath.

Whether you drive a nimble A3/S3, a luxurious Q7, or the iconic TT, this OBDII module bridges the gap between "standard" and "S-Line" performance. It utilizes next-generation mapping to eliminate the infamous "DSG hesitation" and turbo lag, delivering a driving experience that is smoother, sharper, and significantly faster.

No "TD1" Warranty Flag. Quattro Optimized. German Precision Tuning.


Why Upgrade to Stage 3?

  • Unleash TFSI & TDI Power: Safely unlock up to +50 Horsepower and +55 ft·lbs of Torque by optimizing boost pressure and timing within factory safety limits.
  • Eliminate Throttle Lag: Modern Audis suffer from a delay between pressing the pedal and the engine responding. We reduce this latency by 45% for instant overtaking power.
  • Transmission Synchronization: Specifically calibrated to work with S-Tronic (DSG) and Tiptronic transmissions, smoothing out low-speed jerkiness while sharpening high-RPM shifts.
  • Universal Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly on MQB and MLB platforms, including A4, A5, A6, Q3, Q5, Q8, and RS models.
  • Quattro Enhanced: The increased torque is distributed evenly through the Quattro AWD system, improving traction out of corners without triggering stability control errors.
  • Invisible Installation: Installs in seconds via the OBDII port. No mechanical labor, no dirty hands, and no permanent modifications.

"Vorsprung" Logic for Modern Engines

Audi engines (especially the 2.0T and 3.0T) are often identical mechanically across different trim levels, with only software dictating the power difference. The Stage 3 Vorsprung Tuner safely accesses the performance tiers usually reserved for higher-spec models.

The Technical Edge: Unlike simple analog chips, this module uses a digital 64-bit processor to analyze High-Speed CAN-Bus data. It monitors Mass Air Flow, Manifold Absolute Pressure, and Intake Temperatures 500 times per second to calculate the perfect air/fuel ratio for maximum efficiency and power.

The Result: The car feels lighter and more eager. The surge of torque arrives earlier in the RPM band (2,500 RPM), making city driving effortless and highway cruising dominant.


100% Safe & No "TD1" Flags

We know the biggest fear for Audi owners is the "TD1" flag (the code dealers use to void warranties for tuned cars). The Stage 3 Performance Chip does not flash your ECU.

Because it operates as a piggyback system downstream of the ECU, it leaves zero digital footprint. When you take your car in for service, simply unplug the unit. To the dealer's diagnostic tools, your car appears 100% stock, preserving your factory warranty and resale value.


Choose Your Performance Profile

The Stage 3 is our "Autobahn Spec" option, designed for the driver who wants the maximum safe output available without compromising the luxury refinement of the cabin.

Performance Module HP Gain (Max) Torque Gain (Max) Primary Benefit
Stage 1 +25 HP +20 ft·lbs Fuel Efficiency & City Smoothness
Stage 2 +35 HP +35 ft·lbs Sport/Dynamic Mode Enhancement
Stage 3 (Autobahn Spec) +50 HP +55 ft·lbs Maximum Boost & Acceleration

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work on my specific Audi?
Yes. The chip is compatible with all Audi models from 1996 to present, including TFSI (Gas), TDI (Diesel), FSI, and e-tron Hybrid assists. It auto-detects your specific engine code upon first ignition.

Does this help with the "DSG Lag"?
Yes. One of the primary benefits is sharper communication between the throttle and the transmission, significantly reducing the hesitation often felt when taking off from a stoplight in S-Tronic equipped cars.

Is this just a cheap resistor?
Absolutely not. Cheap chips are static resistors that trick a single sensor. The Stage 3 module is a dynamic microprocessor that reads multiple data streams (ISO 15765-4 CAN) to safely optimize the entire combustion cycle.

Do I need special tools?
No. The OBDII port is located under the dashboard on the driver's side (usually purple or black). You simply plug it in. No wires to cut, no battery disconnect required.
