About the remap

Stage 1 optimization for the Audi A8 S8 4.2 V8 360hp increases power from 360 to 382 hp (+22 hp, +6%). Naturally aspirated petrol engines have limited scope for power gains, but optimizing ignition and fueling maps delivers a smoother power delivery, more responsive throttle, and a noticeably more pleasant driving experience.

The remap is performed on the Bosch ME7.1.1 ECU (engine code AQH) via the OBD2 diagnostic port – no ECU removal required. We use Dimsport New Genius. Results are verified with a dynamometer measurement.

Every vehicle undergoes full diagnostics before and after the remap. We keep a backup of the original ECU calibration and guarantee the option to revert to stock settings at any time. JVK PRO is a professional chip tuning service in Riga with 16 years of experience.
