Our Stage 3 performance upgrade achieves 620PS and 710NM.
This stage is the logical further development of stage 2 with a turbocharger developed by us in cooperation with TC Turbos - the TC Turbos X8!
This powerhouse, designed without compromise for responsiveness and simultaneously delivering over 600 hp, has matured over many years of development. Turbo lag or delayed response are foreign words for vehicles with this setup. The aggressiveness and agility of a Stage 2 are retained in this stage and enhanced by more power in the mid- and upper-end rev range. The intercooling and exhaust routing are carried over from Stage 2, as all our power levels are modular. With regard to exhaust temperature, exhaust backpressure, and thermal load, the turbocharger also shines here. Thanks to its efficient exhaust turbine geometry, it literally "sucks" the exhaust gas out of the cylinder, regardless of the rev range.
In addition to the hardware mentioned above, individual, fuel-specific tuning is of course possible on our in-house All-wheel drive test bench included.

620hp - X8 - pure power!
With 620 hp and 710 Nm, Stage 3 delivers noticeably more performance for the RS3 8Y – especially where Stage 2 reaches its limits: at the upper rev range. The TC Turbos X8 upgrade turbocharger provides powerful boost pressure right up to the rev range, making the increased power noticeable at all times. It's supported by the HP Sport Series intercooler with air ducts , which ensures consistent temperatures under load.
The intake has been completely rebuilt: with the HP 4" aluminum turbo inlet , the matching HP 4" aluminum intake pipe (optionally in carbon) and a sports air filter insert for optimal air flow.
On the exhaust side, the HP 4" (101.6 mm) OPF-TÜV downpipe with underfloor catalysts reduces exhaust backpressure, improves thermal performance, and gives the vehicle a more emotional sound – fully TÜV-compliant. Stage 3 stands for linear thrust all the way to the top – noticeable, precise, and uncompromising.
