In 2013, Audi created what I would consider the “gentleman’s muscle car”—the RS5 coupe. They took the 4.2L 450hp naturally aspirated V8 from the R8 and fit it into a comfortable two-door beast. Audi did a pretty good job squeezing power out of the 4.2L V8, but they left performance left on the table.
The performance that’s left on the table can be uncovered through ECU tuning for both the engine and transmission. With a VR Tuned ECU flash installed, power is increased from 450hp to 469hp and it greatly improves throttle response. With the optional cable kit, you can flash your ECU at home!
One of the awesome parts of the RS5 is the DSG transmission. Again, this is an area where Audi did a decent job with the tuning, but they left room for improvement. Our VR Tuned DSG flash is designed to decrease shift times, improve shift points, and improve overall acceleration.

I am in a quandary. I have a 2014 RS5. Would love this “upgrade” ecu flash. I am afraid it will void my warranty on the CPO.
Any advice would be appreciated. I would love to have my RS flashed.
I’ll have our tuning department send you an email with info on how it affects your warranty.
