Flashed directly through your vehicle’s OBD-II port, 034Motorsport’s proprietary Stage 3 calibrations. Stage 3 TCU Software has been further optimized for use with Dynamic+ Stage 3 ECU Software and TTE710 Turbocharger. The result is a noticeable improvement in acceleration without sacrificing comfort or reliability.

The 034Motorsport Stage 3 Transmission Performance Tuning Software for the Al552 is designed further to improve the drivability and acceleration performance of your Stage 3 Dynamic+ Tuned Audi B9 S4, S5, or SQ5. Dynamic+ Stage 3 TCU Software is designed to be used with Dynamic+ Stage 3 ECU Software. 034Motorsport Stage 3 TCU Tuning further improves shifting performance and speed for casual and track driving in all driving modes for vehicles equipped with the TTE710 Turbocharger and Stage 3 Dynamic+ Software. Dynamic+ Tuning also activates AMAX shifting to ensure the quickest and most efficient shifting strategies while launching your vehicle. Kickdown in Manual Mode is also removed.

Performance TCU Stage 3 Software Features

Optimized Shift Points

• In order to take advantage of the increased powerband from the turbocharger, Dynamic+ Tuning optimizes the shift points in Sport Mode to maximize acceleration while retaining smooth drivability.
• When purchasing the Stage 2 TCU Tune, you will be offered specific calibrations for either E85/Race Gas and for 91/93 Octane (Pump Gas) when flashing! Both TCU calibrations are included free of charge. Each specific TCU variant sets shift points to correspond to the optimal RPM for the powerband that your car now has from your upgraded ECU tune.

Kickdown Switch Disabled in Manual Mode

• When in Manual mode, you no longer need to worry about accidentally pushing through the kickdown switch on the throttle pedal!

Improved Shift Speeds

• To further enhance the acceleration of your Audi, the ZF8 shift times are dramatically decreased in all driving modes, which ultimately results in quicker acceleration.
• Shift pressures are also increased in Sport Mode to maximize performance. In Sport Mode, you will notice less lazy shifts, more firm shifts, which ultimately results in quicker acceleration.

AMAX Shifting

• AMAX Shifting is a shifting strategy that stands for “Acceleration Maximum.” These gear shifts are the fastest and quickest possible for optimal acceleration. These are activated in shifting after launching your vehicle from a stop using launch control.
• AMAX shift points are now optimized for specific RPM setpoints for Pump Gas ECU tunes, and Race Gas/Ethanol ECU tunes. Select the specific TCU file to match your current octane when flashing your TCU!
• The S4/S5 has AMAX now activated in the 4>5 and 5>6 shifts where it was previously disabled from the factory.
• The SQ5 now has AMAX activated in all shifts from 1st through 6th where it was previously disabled from the factory.

Increased Rev Limit

• To further enhance the powerband of your Hybrid Turbo equipped Audi, the rev limiter has been increased. This increase allows for the powerband to be extended and utilized safely to 7,000 RPM.

Optimized Shift Points

• In order to take advantage of the increased powerband from the TTE710 Turbocharger, Dynamic+ Tuning optimizes the shift points in all drive modes to maximize acceleration while retaining smooth drivability with your upgraded turbocharger. These adjustments are available during part throttle and full-throttle applications.
