I have been considering a new RS3 for a while. With a new model in the offing next year but with possible long lead times for delivery in Australia, I thought I might hold off ordering and modify my current S3.
Prior to flashing I had a query on the Revision numbers for the software which James from 034 promptly clarified for me. The whole process too about 20 minutes. I had an error at the end of the TCU flash but ran it again and “Flash Successful!” appeared.
Driving sedately felt pretty much the same as stock, which I liked. Open the throttle and the difference was profound. Total transformation of the car. This is the car the S3 should have been.
All in all, very pleased with the service 034 provided.

Don't know why I didn't flashed tune my AUDI S3 when I first bought it. It's astonishing what 034 tune has done to make my car so much faster when I do put my foot down. Highly recommended money well invested

DQ250 DSG TUNING
A MQB DQ250 DSG tune is highly recommended to take full advantage of your ECU tune. This features improvements to drivability and removes the torque limits set in the factory TCU. Included are many other features such as raised RPM for launch control.
034 Motorsport offer flashing capabilities on multiple devices. Calibrate your vehicle with Windows PC, or the 034SPI Dynamic+ Smartphone Interface for MacOS, iOS mobile devices, and Android devices. Both programs have the same flashing capabilities, but 034SPI allows you to flash tunes wirelessly using the Dynamic+ Flashing Dongle and your mobile device, change fuel maps on the fly, configure live data displays, record and submit data logs to 034Motorsport's Tuning Support team, and utilize diagnostic support tools such as DTC/CEL code read/clear, and more!
034 Motorsport stage 1 ECU tuning software for the EA888 Gen 3 2.0 TSI/TFSI engine is engineered to safely increase horsepower and torque with no hardware modifications required. 034Motorsport's proprietary calibrations increase boost while optimizing timing and fuelling maps to extract additional power from the 2.0T engine.
Stage 1 Performance Software features a higher redline of 7,100 RPM, resulting in a broader, more usable powerband. In addition to power improvements, 034 Motorsport's engineers spent a significant amount of time refining the throttle mapping in order to provide improved throttle response and allow for more precise throttle modulation and further control of the vehicle when driving on track.
034 Motorsport Stage 2 Performance Software for the EA888 Gen 3 2.0 TSI/TFSI engine is engineered to further increase horsepower and torque with the addition of a high-flow downpipe upgrade and performance air intake. 034 Motorsport's calibrations optimize the factory ECU for these hardware modifications in order to extract additional power from the 2.0T engine.
Stage 2 Performance Software features a higher redline of 7,100 RPM, resulting in a broader, more usable powerband. Stage 2 software provides what can be described as a much broader and flatter torque curve which leads to a lot of 'under the curve' power. This produces a much more enjoyable a less restricted drive.
Stage 2 Performance Software features FREE Crackle Overrun in Dynamic Mode, which produces nice pops and crackles from the exhaust during deceleration.
We recommend you pair stage 2 with DQ250 DSG tune.

Fuel Ratings
Please note American fuel types use a different fuel rating system AKI.
I have been considering a new RS3 for a while. With a new model in the offing next year but with possible long lead times for delivery in Australia, I thought I might hold off ordering and modify my current S3.
Prior to flashing I had a query on the Revision numbers for the software which James from 034 promptly clarified for me. The whole process too about 20 minutes. I had an error at the end of the TCU flash but ran it again and “Flash Successful!” appeared.
Driving sedately felt pretty much the same as stock, which I liked. Open the throttle and the difference was profound. Total transformation of the car. This is the car the S3 should have been.
