034 Motorsport Australia - Dynamic+ AL551 ZF8 TCU Software - Audi Q5 3.0 TFSI ZF8 Tuning.
034 Motorsport is excited to announce TCU software for Audi Vehicles equipped with the ZF8 speed AL551. In Australia this is the B8 Audi Q5 3.0 TFSI (supercharged).
Founded in 2005, 034 Motorsport produces motorsport quality parts and software tuning solutions for Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. Passion for innovation, performance, and quality is the core of the company. 034 Motorsport strives to produce the highest quality products on the market.
Flashed directly through your vehicle’s OBD-II port, 034Motorsport’s proprietary calibrations for the AL551 TCU safely and effectively optimize its operation for Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 2+ Dynamic+ Performance ECU Software. The result is a noticeable improvement in acceleration, without any sacrifice in comfort or reliability.
In addition, End User Flashing allows Dynamic+ Performance Software customers to receive and install software updates and revisions, flash back to stock, or upgrade to the next stage of performance software for their vehicle. Some TCU Box Codes may require additional development time or a read of the factory ECU before the software is available.
With accompanying 034Motorsport ECU tuning, the maximum RPM before shifting is raised from the factory 6,300RPM to 7,200RPM, significantly increasing the ability to maximize the performance of your supercharged V6!
Improved Shift Speeds
To further enhance the drivability of your Audi, the shift times are dramatically decreased in all driving modes, which ultimately results in quicker acceleration.
Optimized Launch Control
Torque converter stall during launch control has been raised to allow for a higher launch RPM, maximizing the performance of your supercharged V6 at the drag strip!
Advanced Launch Control Compatibility
Alongside the standard launch control, the Dynamic+ AL551 TCU Tune is compatible with Advanced Launch Control, found on all 034Motorsport Supercharged 3.0T ECU Tunes (Non-CREC).
Advanced Launch Control on AL551 Equipped vehicles adds:
Adjustable Launch RPM via Cruise Control Stalk
Limited to Maximum Torque Converter Stall RPM
Adjustable Launch Load via Throttle Pedal
Maximize available traction by launching by changing the pedal angle while staging! For maximum load, floor it!
With the cruise control stalk in the ON position, the cooling fans and auxiliary supercharger coolant pump will run at 100% duty cycle to minimize heat soak and reduce charge air temps in preparation for your next run down the strip! Once beyond 10kph, the cooling fans and auxiliary pump resume regular operation.
Soft Cut and Ignition Cut Style Launch Control
Depending on the ECU file you are running, launch control RPMs will be limited by our Fuel Cut Launch Strategy or our Ignition Cut Strategy. Ignition Cut Launch Control is only available on Test-Pipe files for Sanctioned Racing Use Only.
IMPROVED TORQUE MANAGEMENT:
As with any automatic transmission vehicle, the ECU and TCU computers work synchronously to properly apply torque to the vehicle's drivetrain in a safe and reliable manner. Within both the ECU and TCU, there are factory safety tables that limit overall torque output based upon what the factory first tuned the car for. The ECU reports the output of torque from the engine to the TCU, and the TCU decides if this is suitable, or too much. If it is too much, the TCU will command the ECU to reduce torque output based upon its safety tables.
034Motorsport takes a holistic approach with its Dynamic+ Tuning, and aims to retain as many OEM safety protocols as possible. While it is possible to tune around the factory TCU torque limiters from the ECU side, this is done at the expense of torque safety features that are integral in keeping your transmission running safely. 034Motorsport’s calibrators tune the ECU to work with the TCU to provide accurate torque values, and recalibrate the appropriate safety ranges for the TCU. Taking these extra steps to retain OEM safety systems on the ECU and TCU side is just one of the many reasons that Dynamic+ software provides substantial yet reliable performance increases.

How to use the end user flash cable & software
Receive welcome email(after purchase) with 034 software account and user guide
Plug into OBD2 port and USB port on laptop & take read of stock ECU / TCU
Send 034 stock file details from software (very easy)
Plug back into OB2 port & USB and flash tune your ECU / TCU
Once you have taken the stock read of the ECU you can always flash your car back to stock at any time. You can also flash between stages.
The reading / flashing and software process isnot complicated. Everything is straight forward and anyone who has the computer skills to send an email can do this process.
Initial read time - 10 minutes First flash time - 20 minutes Flash back to stock - 10 minutes Upgrading files (stage 1 to 2) - 5 minutes Flashing between files and stages - 5 minutes
Q: What happens after I order my tuning cable and software?
A: We will EXPRESS post the cable and start a tuning order for you.
How long do I have to wait to receive my tuning download link and username?
From the minute your order is processed on the VAGParts website, you can expect a 1-3 business day fulfillment time to receive your download links and username from the 034 Motorsport tuning team. Please be on the lookout for this email, which will come from the email address "tuning@034motorsport.com"
Q: What is in the introductory email?
A: This is an email from 034Motorsport which includes the username for your account, a link to download the flashing software and the Getting Started user manual.
Q: I haven't got my introductory email
A: You may have to wait 1-3 business days to receive this email from the 034Motorsport team. Please also check your spam, updates, and other email tabs for the email from 034Motorsport. If it still hasn't come after a couple of days please contact VAGPARTS. Please note weekends are not working days.
Q: What do I need to tune my vehicle with a laptop?
A: Windows 10/11 laptop, strong/stable internet connection, Dynamic+ flashing cable, a 20-amp battery supply charger/maintaner, and tuning account access.
I have everything I need what do I do next?
Please download the 034 flashing client if you haven't already, and review the Getting Started guide. You'll need to register your username on 034 Motorsport's server, by inputting your username/email address in the applicable field, and clicking the "Forgot/Reset Password" link. This will send an email to you that will allow you to set your own password, which you'll need to use to log into the flashing client software. Once you are logged into the flashing client, please click on the controller that you wish to program (either ECU - engine, or TCU - transmission) and proceed through the steps listed in the "Getting Started" guide to flash that controller. The files labeled "Stock" are completely OEM software calibrations, as you would have received from the factory, so please only flash these if you wish to go back to stock tuning.
I received an error message stating that "No products are available for this controller", what do I do?
If you receive the error message "No products are available for this controller", please email tuning@034motorsport.com directly, and someone from their tuning support team will advise you on the steps that they will take to get you access to the files that were purchased.
A: This is NOT a difficult process. If you have the ability to open and email and send an email, this is the same level of computer literacy needed.
