Unitronic is pleased to announce the official worldwide release of its Performance Software for the MK7 Golf R® and 8V S3®.

Unitronic has precisely re-calibrated the SIMOS 12/18 engine control unit (ECU) to deliver maximum performance while ensuring complete OEM-like reliability and drivability from V.A.G.’s latest generation of the turbocharged four cylinder high-output 2.0-liter TSI® engine found in the MQB chassis. Unitronic’s Performance Software is programmable directly through the OBD-2 port and within minutes you’ll be enjoying a total night-and-day driving experience.



Unitronic’s Stage 1 and Stage 1+ Performance Software are both designed for otherwise complete stock vehicles, requiring no supporting hardware modifications and provides a great entry-level upgrade. Stage 1 is optimized for 91 OCT/95 RON fuel, producing 355 HP/338 lb-ft TQ.



For Clients with access to 93 OCT/98 RON fuel, Stage 1+ takes advantage of higher grade fuel, producing an increase in output to 375 HP/350 lb-ft TQ; a remarkable +57 HP and +50 lb-ft TQ over Unitronic’s recorded stock figures.



Taking it to the next level, Unitronic sets itself apart from the competition with its Stage 2 Performance Software, requiring a 3” downpipe, which alleviates exhaust restrictions created by the stock catalytic converter allowing for optimal dissipation of exhaust backpressure and maximum flow. Unitronic’s Stage 2 Performance Software boasts an increase of 79 HP and 68 lb-ft of TQ over the stock power as recorded by Unitronic, with an output of 397 HP and 368 lb-ft of TQ.




Additional features encompassed with all Stages of Unitronic Performance Software for the 2.0 TSI Gen3 include:
• Left foot braking
• Improved throttle response
• Factory Failsafes Retained
• Engine Temperature Protection (rev limit based on engine coolant temperature)
• Optimized Responsiveness and driveability
• Speed Limiter Removed
• Power delivery perfectly optimized throughout the power band
• Increased fuel economy

Applications:
MK7 VW® Golf R
8V Audi® S3
5F Seat® Leon® Cupra®
5F Seat Leon Cupra 280
MKIII Audi TTS®

*Subject to ecu box code availability.

John, just want to know if the s3 is maxed out. Does Uni intend on further development with this platform. Would love to see a e85 tune for the non rs3 crowd. Call it stage 2+. Or a stage 3 for big turbos. You know more about this engine than I do. Maybe its not safe? But this platform and unitronic seems dead. All the rs3 folks are having all the fun lol.

I have made numerous upgrades waiting for uni to come with the file. It just sucks to invest that amount and have to go to a different tuner. I love uni and want to stick with uni, but I guess time will tell.
