Is a remap worth it on the Audi Q3 Rs 2013?
A worthwhile remap. The gain is clearly felt on the road, especially in the mid-range where the torque increase lands.
What each stage needs
| Stage | Power | Torque | Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 305 bhp | 420 Nm | None |
| Stage 1 | 385 bhp | 515 Nm | Software only |
| Stage 2 | 385 bhp | 515 Nm | Uprated intercooler, high-flow intake, sports catalyst |
Risk on this engine: high
- High 26% gain: substantial stress on turbo(s) and fuel system.
- Turbocharged petrol: knock is the primary risk. A worn knock sensor cannot protect the engine.
How to keep the risk down
- Uprated intercooler strongly recommended.
- Full engine health check required.
- Verify fuel pump condition.
- Use minimum RON 97 fuel.
- Verify knock sensor function before tuning.
- Keep a copy of the original ECU file before flashing.
