Stage 1+ for GPF cars requires the R600 intake pack, turbo inlet and intercooler while retaining the factory exhaust and GPF. Stage 2 requires the intake pack, intercooler and high-flow catalyst; it is unsuitable for UK road use if it requires removal of a factory GPF. The non-GPF hybrid Stage 3 route adds the specified hybrid turbo and high-pressure fuel pump to the Stage 2 hardware. DSG tuning is essential for Stage 3. POWERMAX uses a different Garrett turbo calibration and carries a separate licence charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCalibration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower (PS)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTorque (Nm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStage 1+ (GPF retained)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e375\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e480\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStage 3 POWERMAX is available with a separate licence price.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/racingline-oem-software-audi-s3-8v-2-0-tsi-gpf-2019-onwards-stage-3-powermax\"\u003eView this vehicle’s POWERMAX software\u003c\/a\u003e.

The aim is a consistent delivery of power and torque with smooth everyday behaviour, rather than a peak figure alone. OEM+ also supports a return to the vehicle’s original stock calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplication-dependent features include revised rev and speed limits, left-foot braking support, rescaled performance gauges and a start\/stop default change. Feature availability depends on the controller and selected calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible gearbox tuning revises torque handling and shift behaviour to complement the ECU calibration. DSG dynamic software varies clutch pressure with load, combining everyday driving with the extra torque of the engine calibration. A gearbox licence does not include a physical clutch or a controller unlock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle compatibility and installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi S3 8V — 2.0 TSI GPF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine\/controller application: MQB 2.0TSI IS38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed transmission: DQ381\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch the engine code, original power, turbo, emissions equipment and ECU\/TCU software IDs before activation.
