Audi and VW Tuning in Vancouver and Richmond

Custom and off-the-shelf tunes for Audi and Volkswagen. Off-the-shelf files are installed in the shop through the car's OBD-II port. When a car is built past what a stage file covers, we write a custom tune for it.

Stages

Stage 1, 2 and 3 Tunes for Golf R, GTI and S3

Pick your car, then a stage, to see power, torque, octane, parts and price. Prices are in CAD before tax. Hardware for Stage 2 and 3 is quoted per car.

  • Software

    Stage 1

    ECU software on a stock car. No parts to buy, a flash through the OBD-II port.

    Good fit if your car is stock and you want the most gain per dollar.

    Skip if you already run a downpipe or bigger turbo. You need a higher stage.

  • Software + hardware

    Stage 2

    Software built for supporting hardware. We confirm the parts for your car before we quote.

    Good fit if bolt-on parts are fitted or planned.

    Skip if your car is stock. Stage 1 is simpler and cheaper.

  • Turbo upgrade

    Stage 3

    A larger turbo system with matched software, and fuel system upgrades on the top setups.

    Good fit if you want big power and the clutch, gearbox and budget to match.

    Skip if comfort, warranty or a stock drivetrain come first.

Warranty and risk

Does a Tune Void Your Warranty? Going Back to Stock

Straight answers, in plain words, before you decide.

  • Warranty

    Your factory warranty

    Engine and transmission software can affect your manufacturer warranty. A dealer may decline a claim they link to the tune. We do not promise dealer coverage.

  • Going back

    Back to stock

    Off-the-shelf software goes onto the factory ECU through the OBD-II port, and the car can be returned to stock software. Ask the shop what that involves for your car.

  • Dealers

    Dealer visits

    Service work at a dealer may show that the ECU has been flashed. If you are unsure, ask us before you book a tune.

  • Parts

    Parts and warranty

    Ask the shop what warranty applies to parts and to fitting before you buy.

  • Insurance

    Tell your insurer

    A modified car can change your insurance. Check with your insurer before you tune.
