Audi RS 3 8V Facelift / 8.5V TVS Stage 3 TCU/DSG Tune - Features and Benefits
Building on the solid foundations of Stage 2+, the TVS Stage 3 TCU Tune takes performance to another level for your Audi RS3 8.5V. This tune delivers up to 800 Nm of torque handling, with clutch pressure increased to 18-19 bar, making it ideal for drivers seeking to maximise DQ500 performance on stock clutches. Stage 3 is perfect for high-power setups, providing improved torque handling, faster gear shifts, and additional race-inspired features. This tune is optimised specifically for the DQ500 gearbox.
-
Increased Torque Capacity (up to 800 Nm): With recalibrated torque limiters and enhanced clutch pressure, Stage 3 enables your DQ500 gearbox to manage up to 800 Nm of torque with greater control and stability, even in high-output applications.
-
Optimised Shift Performance: Stage 3 delivers fast, smooth gear changes across all driving modes (D, S, M), with reduced shift delay and enhanced paddle responsiveness for quick, sharp gear changes. The advanced shift logic ensures instant power delivery in every scenario, allowing for a more engaging and responsive driving experience, whether on the road or track. Additionally, selectable options such as automatic upshift/downshift deactivation in Manual (M) mode and kick-down deactivation give drivers ultimate control. This allows the driver to customise the shifting behaviour to match their driving style.
-
Advanced Launch Control: Further enhanced with multi-step RPM limits, Stage 3’s launch control delivers quicker, more controlled take-offs, fine-tuning clutch engagement for explosive yet manageable launches. This feature allows for consistent performance on the road or the track.
-
Race Mode without Torque Reduction: One of Stage 3’s unique upgrades, Race Mode eliminates torque reduction during gear changes, maintaining continuous power throughout each shift. This feature is specifically designed for high-performance driving and ensures uninterrupted acceleration.
-
Boost on Launch Mode: Take your launch control further with Boost on Launch, providing customisable RPM settings and aggressive pops and bangs for a dynamic, race-inspired feel at every launch. This feature adds an extra edge to your acceleration.
-
Thermal Management & Durability: Stage 3 continues the advanced thermomanagement and clutch cooling systems introduced in Stage 2+, keeping your DQ500 gearbox temperature stable under heavy load and protecting critical components from overheating, ensuring long-term reliability.
-
Improved Driveability: The smoothness introduced with the Driveability Upgrade in Stage 2+ remains a core part of the Stage 3 experience. The shifting remains refined and balanced, making daily driving more enjoyable while providing all the tools needed for high-performance driving.
