Audi Q8 Stage 1: 507 hp → 604 hp

Factory output for the Audi Q8 SQ8 40 TFSI is 507 hp and 770 Nm. A Stage 1 remap targets 604 hp and 826 Nm — 97 hp (+19%) and 56 Nm (+7%).

Those are the figures we work to on this engine. They are a starting point, not a promise: the number we hand back is the one your car makes on our dyno, measured before and after on the same day, in the same conditions.

What 97 hp changes on the road

A turbocharged petrol responds to a remap mostly through boost and ignition timing. Taking the SQ8 40 TFSI from 507 hp to 604 hp, with torque from 770 Nm to 826 Nm, sharpens throttle response and shortens the gap between asking for power and getting it — the car stops feeling like it is thinking about it first.

Gains of this size (+19%) are normal for this kind of engine on pump fuel, with no hardware changes.

What Stage 1 involves on an Audi Q8

We read the ECU, log the car as it stands, and put it on the dyno to confirm the 507 hp baseline — a tired or faulty engine gets diagnosed before it gets mapped, not after.

The calibration is written for your car, not pulled from a file library. We adjust fuelling, ignition timing and boost pressure, then re-run the dyno to verify the 604 hp and 826 Nm figure and check knock, lambda and temperatures under load.

Turnaround is same-day for most cars. Stock file is archived, so the car can go back to standard whenever you want.

Which Audi Q8 this covers
