This upgrade boosts your Audi RS3 8Y to 490 PS and 670 NM.

's Stage 1 performance upgrade includes not only reprogramming of the engine control unit but also a modified replacement panel filter for improved airflow. The package also includes pre- and post-upgrade testing on our all-wheel-drive dynamometer , where we perform customized tuning of the engine software before conducting a test drive on the road.

No hidden costs—hardware installation, vehicle-specific software tuning, and TÜV registration INCLUDED!

Hardware changes:

  • Sports air filter insert

Software changes:

  • Adjustment of all performance-relevant maps on our all-wheel drive test bench
  • Adjustment of oil and exhaust gas temperature, component protection functions
  • Increasing the V-Max according to the installed brake system
  • Test drives in real operation for data recording

Please note:
For the tuning, you can either use your vehicle's existing control unit or opt for an additional, new control unit.

If the existing control unit is used, it will be customized and programmed.

With a new control unit, the original control unit remains fully intact, allowing for reversal at any time. This option carries an additional charge of €1,799.

The delivery or lead time will not change as a result of selecting the new control unit.

If you would like the option with a new control unit, please contact us before making your purchase.

Please note: Performance and acceleration values can be influenced by various external influences, fuels or additional hardware installed and ultimately the general condition (including mileage) of the engine. The values given are for guidance only and are not binding. With regard to legality and approval in the area of the StVZO we refer at this point to our general terms and conditions.

Power - at every level

The RS3 8Y has the heart of a 5-cylinder engine - raw, full of character, full of emotion. But what is only hinted at as standard, we bring out uncompromisingly at HPerformance. The 2.5 TFSI is no ordinary engine - it is a legend. With its unmistakable sound, explosive torque curve and potential that goes far beyond the visible, it demands real fine-tuning.

At HPerformance, we transform this drive into a statement. With in-depth expertise, years of experience and pure passion for the 5-cylinder, we bring out what the RS3 8Y really is: a driving commitment to performance and emotion.

Not just faster. But more intense. More personal. RS3 as it was intended - with HPerformance.
