$650.00
The Audi A3 8V ECU upgrade Stage 2 Plus adds horsepower, torque, and better throttle response throughout the power band
Description
We are pleased to present the GIAC Stage 2 Audi A3 8V ECU upgrade (2013 - Present) with 2.0 Turbo TSI (Gen 3) engine. The Audi A3 8V ECU upgrade replaces the standard software in your car's engine control unit (ECU) without any physical modifications. In other words, the tune adjusts ignition timing, fuel delivery, boost settings, rev limiter, and/or speed limiters to optimize performance and, in some applications, fuel economy. We can easily flash the ECU upgrade through the OBD-II port of your car (an installation fee is additional).
GIAC's understanding of vehicle controllers goes much deeper than simple table variable modification. While most "tuners" can only add and subtract from existing tables in the Engine Control Unit, we have the ability to change the functionality of the ECU at the code level, allowing for a complete calibration and even creation of new tables and functions.
GIAC map switching gives customers the ability to change performance settings in their vehicle without a visit to the shop. The switch takes a couple of seconds and can even be done while the vehicle is idling. We have tuning products for fuel quality ranging from 91 to 109 octane covering both normally aspirated and turbo models.

Hand-held flashloader switcher for the Audi A3 8V ECU upgrade
The optional GIAC’s Flashloader Handheld Switcher allows users to switch between optional maps/modes in the ECU upgrade with the touch of a button. To clarify, it is a pocket-sized, hand-held device that plugs directly into the OBD port. Furthermore, it uses serial flashing technology and requires no additional hardware within the ECU. To use the switcher, you should select the desired mode with the touch buttons. Cycling the ignition will save the new mode to the ECU’s memory and retain its state until switched again.
Hand-held flashloader switcher maps:
- Pump mode - The upgraded map which is optimized for pump fuel.
- Race mode - It gives additional power and should only be used with high-octane fuel.
The Stage 2 tune is coming with all switching options. The Hand-held switcher is sold separately. (contact us for details).
