The moment S-Tronic B8.5 S4 and S5 owners have been waiting patiently for, is here.



Stage 2 B8.5 Software is complete for S-Tronic equipped S4 and S5s! Stage 2 for 6 Speed cars is in final testing, and coming soon.

Now for the numbers-



Like the B8 AWE Tuning Stage 2 Performance Pulley Kit, purchasing options are as follows (including introductory pricing)-

• AWE Tuning Stage 2 Performance Pulley Kit + G.I.A.C. Stage 2 S-Tronic Performance Software - Includes AWE Tuning Stage 2 Performance Pulley Kit (Pulley, Belt, Related Hardware, no removal tool) and G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software. [Introductory Pricing at $1749.]
• AWE Tuning Stage 2 Upgrade: Stage 2 Performance Pulley Kit and G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software - Pulley Kit and Software package combination for those who already have G.I.A.C. 3.0T Stage 1 Performance Software [Introductory Pricing at $549.]
• AWE Tuning 3.0T Pulley Removal Tool – Just the tool itself. Pulley and Software not included [$219]

6 Speed owners, don’t fret. Software for your car is in the final stages of development currently.

Also coming soon - S-Tronic Transmission Software, which will be a simple, OBD2 port upgrade that does not require any modifications to your G.I.A.C. engine flash. Just more performance.

Check out all the options and details on pricing, right here. Let’s do this.

420 with pulley? You can get more than that with just a remap? Seems very low

The lower peak power number seen on B8.5 S-Tronic cars (due to the 6350rpm redline) is throwing some people off. Please note that the B8 S-Tronic cars rev to 6700rpm which allows for a higher total output on these cars.

Below I made a cheat sheet of the all figures found through Dyno testing on both B8 and B8.5 cars. Please note the percentages in Green.

Wonder why the newer ones have a lower redline then?
