PERON Tuning Stage 3 ECU / TCU Calibration Package for Audi RS6 / RS7 (C7)
At PERON Automotive, our Stage 3 calibration for the Audi RS6/RS7 (C7) is the product of both passion and expertise, drawn from years of ownership and daily driving with our own C7 RS7. Over several years, we’ve gained deep insights into the platform, allowing us to deliver the most refined and effective tuning solution available. Our work with the EA824 engine has enabled us to push the limits of performance while improving upon the factory-level drivability that Audi owners love. The result of this long-term development with the Bosch MED17 ECU and ZF8 HP AL551 TCU is a Stage 3 tune that unlocks significant performance gains without compromising the car’s everyday usability.
Enhanced Driveability and Performance
Our Stage 3 package for the C7 RS6 and RS7 is designed to increase engine output to approximately 770-790 hp and 840-860 ft-lb of torque. This upgrade enhances the vehicle’s responsiveness, offering hard-hitting acceleration and improved dynamic capabilities without dramatically altering the car's character. The focus is on refining power delivery with upgraded turbochargers, ensuring that the RS6/RS7 remains just as comfortable in everyday use as it is exhilarating on the open road.
Fuel Requirements and Efficiency
This tuning stage is optimised for 99 RON fuel. By optimising fuel usage, this stage ensures that the engine operates efficiently, making the most of the increased power while maintaining fuel economy in daily driving conditions.

ECU Tuning Highlights for the Audi C7 RS6/RS7
-
Torque and Load Management: Enhanced internal calculations optimize power distribution, delivering better drivability and control, particularly during hard acceleration.
-
Boost Control Refinement: Adjustments to turbocharger boost control for larger turbos provide excellent response times and more consistent power. The increased boost at higher RPM improves acceleration and overall performance beyond Stage 2.
-
Fuel Delivery Optimisation: Fine-tuned fuel flow and increased cylinder pressure ensure safe, reliable performance, supporting significant power increases without compromising engine longevity.
-
Lambda Optimisation: Optimised air-fuel ratios maximise both efficiency and safety, ensuring smooth, consistent performance across all driving conditions, even at higher power levels.
-
Ignition Timing Optimisation: Adjustments to ignition timing improve power delivery, engine smoothness, and fuel efficiency while ensuring engine safety during high RPMs and aggressive driving.
-
Camshaft Timing Adjustments: Enhanced camshaft timing improves low-end torque and maintains peak power at higher speeds, ensuring better throttle response.
-
Rev Limiter Increase: The soft limiter in neutral is raised for a more engaging exhaust sound during stationary revving, providing a more exhilarating auditory experience.
-
Speed Limiter Removal: The factory-imposed speed limit is removed, unlocking the RS6/RS7's full potential, allowing it to surpass 200 mph.
-
Exhaust Flap Control: In sport mode, the exhaust flaps remain open across all RPM ranges, delivering a more aggressive and dynamic exhaust note.
-
Quiet Cold Start: An optional quiet cold start feature reduces noise during engine warm-up, perfect for early mornings and maintaining neighbourhood peace.
TCU Tuning Highlights for the Audi C7 RS6/RS7 (ZF8 HP Gearbox)
-
Raised Torque Limits: Torque limits are raised to 1200 Nm, allowing the transmission to handle the increased engine power while maintaining durability.
-
Enhanced Hydraulic and Clutch Pressure: Increased hydraulic pressure and clutch engagement force improve the torque-holding capacity of the gearbox, enhancing both reliability and performance under high-load conditions.
-
Optimised Shift RPM: Shift RPM is optimised for the new powerband provided by the larger turbochargers, ensuring better power delivery throughout the rev range.
-
Improved Shift Speeds and Torque Management: Shift times are shortened, and torque reduction intervals are minimised, resulting in quicker, smoother gear changes. This ensures a more refined driving experience at low speeds while delivering precise shifts during aggressive driving.
