This S1 is a great example of what can be achieved on the EA888.3 platform with the right hardware and calibration working together.
It's really simple.....
- PowerMax Stage 1 Turbo + inlet hose
- Uprated clutch
- NGK spark plugs
- Factory intercooler retained
- Factory catalytic converter retained
- Factory airbox retained
- Ecotune Reflex ECU Software*
The result? 400HP+ and close to a 100HP increase, while keeping much of the original hardware in place. 📈
*Powered by Ecotune Reflex.
This setup gives the car a lot more than just extra power. With map switching, the driver can choose different power levels depending on how they want to use the car, from a calmer setting for normal driving to full power when it’s time to have some fun.
It also benefits from boost by gear, which helps put the power down better through the gears, especially on higher-powered front wheel drive and MQB cars.
For the right builds, Reflex can also support flex fuel, allowing the car to run on different fuel blends including E85 when the correct hardware is fitted.
On top of that, Reflex adds extra safety strategies to help protect the car around fuel quality, fuel pressure and oil temperature.
