It is easy to get greedy especially with turbo motors. The customer is always asking for that extra psi and that extra few horsepower. Well, blown motors are no fun. It is much better to keep things reliable and enjoy the car than push limits and break things. ...Published on 07-29-2019 01:42 PM
B9 Audi EA839 3.0 V6 tuning is going to pick up immensely this year and Shiftech has some early results. Their gains are modest and keep in mind as more tuners get their hands on this motor the tuning quality and gains will evolve. ...Published on 07-29-2019 01:21 PM
A hybrid turbocharged Audi TT-RS clearing 800 all wheel horsepower? This platform is bonkers and just continues to impress. This Audi TT-RS with the aluminum block dual fuel injected 2.5 TFSI is making a spectacular 842 horsepower to all four wheels. ...Published on 07-29-2019 01:13 PM
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the new Toyota Supra utilizing the BMW B58 motor is you see several prominent BMW tuners now offering tuning development for the Toyota Supra. Active Autowerke is one such name that recently acquired the 2020 Supra. ...Published on 07-29-2019 12:51 PM
You are seeing more 1000+ horsepower Porsche 991 Turbos done on the stock engine internals and the factory engine control unit (ECU). SRM (Silly Rabbit Motorsport) hit 947 horsepower to all four wheels earlier this month on the factory ECU and engine internals. ...Published on 07-28-2019 04:00 PM

Weistec is primarily known for their AMG tuning but their engineering expertise over the past few years continues to be applied to more and more makes and models. It is fantastic for the Audi tuning community to have a tuner of Weistec's caliber enter the ring. ...Published on 07-28-2019 01:42 PM
Built motor N54's at higher power levels seem to be hit or miss. This one is putting down some nice numbers (on the dyno for now) on a Dynojet. The motor was built by Motiv Motorsport and you will have to ask them what they did exactly. ...Published on 07-28-2019 01:03 PM
If you were wondering how VS Performance in Russia was fueling some of those big turbo 4.0 TFSI V8's here you go. They have a dual HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) upgrade solution for the Audi C7 RS6 and RS7 that they state is good for fueling 1200+ horsepower. ...Published on 07-28-2019 12:11 PM
CTS Turbo has a Garett based Audi 4.0 TFSI twin turbo V8 upgrade on the way. It will offer either GTX2867R or GTX3071R based turbochargers. They are also developing stainless steel manifolds for the platform. ...Published on 07-28-2019 11:38 AM
The 992 Carrera 4S is pretty stout in stock form. So, a tune will truly turn it into a beast depending on the size of the turbos. ShifTech who recently cracked the ECU was able to extract a nice gain as evidenced by their results on a Cartec dynamometer. ...Published on 07-26-2019 04:08 PM
Most of you are aware that some changes were made to 2019 model year Volkswagen and Audi models that affected tuning. Well, do not sweat it as APR has you covered. APR's suite of upgrades is now available for the 2019 MKVII Gol R, Audi 8V S3, and Audi MKIII TT-S. ...Published on 07-26-2019 02:55 PM
Good to see the Supra being tested outside of magazine hands as you never know who might get a 'cooked' press file or not. MotorTrend showed 427 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on a Dynojet in SAE which is quite a bit more than you see here for the new Supra. ...Published on 07-26-2019 01:15 PM
Good news here for those wary of flashing their ECU or messing with the factory software. Not to mention those who hate the Porsche tuning tax. BMS (Burger Tuning) finally has a JB4 tuning box available for the Porsche 991.2 9A2B6 3.0 platform although the offering is still in the early phases. ...Published on 07-26-2019 11:41 AM
Not bad for just software only, eh? This W213 Mercedes-AMG E63 S sedan received a custom dyno tune from Eurocharged Canada. The M177 4.0 liter twin turbo AMG V8 is a powerhouse but there is plenty left on the table for tuners. ...
