The performance upgrade stage 2 achieves outputs of over 535PS and 680NM.
We achieve our Stage 2 with 535PS and 700NM with our 4-inch 101.6 mm OPF-TÜV downpipe in addition to the fresh air-side modifications to the intake with turbo inlet and intercooler. The boost pressures required for 535 hp and more need to be relieved on the exhaust side in order to be able to call up the power reproducibly. Since the OPF models in particular require Temperature and Exhaust back pressure (exhaust gases escaping from the turbocharger, which create back pressure in the exhaust tract), we only use our 4" 101.6 mm downpipe with underfloor OPF and catalytic converter modules on these models. This enables us to achieve 0.3 bar less in back pressure compared to the 88.9 mm. In addition to the thermal relief, the downpipe also ensures a throaty and muffled sound.
In addition to the hardware modifications mentioned above, an individual, fuel-specific software tuning on our in-house all-wheel drive test bench is of course included (incl. input and output measurement)
No hidden costs—hardware installation, vehicle-specific software tuning, and TÜV registration INCLUDED!

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.
Mit einem neuen Steuergerät bleibt das originale Steuergerät vollständig erhalten, sodass jederzeit ein Rückbau möglich ist. Für diese Option fällt ein Aufpreis von 1.799,- € an.
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.
Freeflow! Stage 2!
The Race Stage 2 kit for the RS3 8Y delivers uncompromising performance on the track. The generously sized HP intercooler keeps intake temperatures stable even under maximum load, ensuring consistent power delivery. The HP 4" (100 mm) aluminum intake pipe, which fits over the stock turbo inlet, noticeably improves airflow and significantly enhances throttle response.
This race-spec version features a catalytic converter-free downpipe without an OPF—for minimal exhaust backpressure, maximum flow, and an unadulterated, aggressive sound.
The result: a minimalist race setup that combines technical precision with raw emotion—designed for riders who want to experience uncompromising performance.
