There is a 30-minute video that accompanies the testing results but for those who do not have a half-hour to spare AudiBoost will summarize what you need to know. Essentially, the 2.5 TFSI sees a restriction with the factory elbow pipe and the Eurocode/SRM pipe is aerodynamically engineered to improve flow. ...Published on 02-19-2019 11:43 PM
The 4.0 TFSI twin turbo V8 Audi platform is seeing some very interesting builds. Under Pressure Racing Development is responsible for this D4 Audi S8 with a very intriguing turbo setup. Unfortunately, they are not sharing many details. ...Published on 02-19-2019 01:34 AM
Yes, stock turbo EA855 Evo 2.5 TFSI's can break into the 9's. There were a couple cars that encountered engine issues trying to get there but as this slip attests to it can be done with room to spare. The turbo, transmission, engine internals, and clutches are all stock. ...Published on 02-13-2019 06:32 PM
Absolutely absurd numbers considering all this TT-RS has is a JB4 from BMS (Burger Tuning). Seriously, 10's with a piggyback and some ethanol blended? These numbers also crush what they hit previously showing the 2.5 TFSI JB4 is getting ready for primetime. ...Published on 02-12-2019 11:45 PM
There are plenty of strpped out cars on drag rubber you can reference with the 2.5 TFSI motor running impressive times. Eurocode posted this as a representation of street performance to be expected and certainly low 10's on street tires are impressive. ...Published on 02-12-2019 07:01 PM
Want to see just how big the switch is from 91 octane pump fuel to E85 ethanol for yourself? Well, this Audi RS3 with the Pure Turbos hybrid 2.5 TFSI turbocharger upgrade is a great example of the tuning gains ethanol allows over some of the worst pump fuel in the country. ...Published on 02-11-2019 07:02 PM
Tuning the transmission is getting to be as important as tuning the motor in order to extract performance from modern platforms. Volkswagen and Audi platforms in particular benefit from dual clutch transmissions and TVS Engineering shows come incredible capability with VW/Audi DSG's. ...Published on 02-09-2019 07:28 PM
With more and more people upgrading their 2.5 TFSI EA855 Evo turbocharger more and more people will want to rev their motors out for more power. Well, with the Ferrea Racing valve spring kit they can do exactly that. ...Published on 02-08-2019 05:43 PM
Remember California Assembly Bill 1824? As a refresher, if a Police Officer thinks your exhaust is too loud you get a mandatory $1000 ticket instead of the old fix it ticket. Well, you are not the only one who thinks the policy is just a government overreach to grab cash. ...Published on 02-08-2019 04:50 PM
You obviously see monster 2.5 TFSI numbers posted on AudiBoost regularly. Yes, the motor can make tremendous power with the proper fuel but it is still a relatively small 2.5 liter motor. Big boost for big power often requires ethanol or race gas. ...Published on 02-02-2019 10:11 PM
This year's list is a couple of weeks late but this actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise with some major automotive performance debuts and achievements taking place just in time to sneak onto the list. Feel free to check out last year's best and worst of automotive performance list. ...Published on 02-01-2019 03:51 PM
This is not a huge surprise as you knew these models were coming but Audi confirms them with this roadmap for a late 2019 launch. The RS Q3 of course will utilize the 8V RS3 sedan drivetrain making for yet another stout 2.5 TFSI mod platform although it will be the heaviest vehicle utilizing the motor. ...Published on 01-30-2019 02:11 PM
This result comes from Mexican tuner GT Tuning who put together this Audi RS3. It is making some spectacular power touching just short of 800 horsepower to all four wheels on a Dynocom. Yes, Dynocoms tend to read high but this is incredible power regardless. ...Published on 01-29-2019 04:16 PM
BMS (Burger Tuning) continues its aggressive expansion into Audi tuning which with some of the locked ECU's is certainly a very good thing for enthusiasts. The MKIII TT-RS 2.5 TFSI EA855 EVO ECU is not locking tuners out but that does not mean there is not an application for the JB4. ...Published on 01-29-2019 03:06 PM
You could say this is an interesting field but truly there are only a few standouts. Of the eight cars, does anyone really feel the Ford Fiesta ST or Volkswagen Up GTI really have a chance? Especially when cars like the 488 Pista, 991.2 GT2 RS, and McLaren 600 LT are included? ...
