Taycan Tuning in Southern California

[BRZtoTaycan]

If you're guaranteed to get the overboost horsepower all the time, would that be worth it?

I was hoping for faster 0 to 60. That is the only RWD weak point.

Every other variant gets extra horse power out of the rear motor.
Do you know if your rear motor is the same as the 4s rear motor, but software detuned?

Should be just like what you said. Sadly they didn't post any performance gain or hp gain for RWD

So no 0-60 change?
I know for some that would be the main point of tuning
Thx

4s there is a huge gain in 0-60, Turbo doesn't get any gains.
It would seem 4s is software limited and this upgrade unlocks more power to the front motor

Waiting to see if there are any gains with Turbo S

No RWD has been done yet to see what the gains are

What was your trap speed on this run??
My Stock 2021 TS did several 10.5@131mph with 90% or higher SOC (dropped to 10.6@127mph under 90% SOC)

My RS is equivalent to a Turbo and when not in launch control, the same as the Turbo S.
I'm getting a full second better from 100km-200km, .4sec 1/4m improvement, 6mph improvement on trap speed
100-200km is more consistently 6.3sec on flat roads

I don't get any improvement on 0-100km because the front motor is already max power. This upgrade gives more power to the rear motor which is what we mainly use.

132mph

We are waiting for better weather to run with the upgraded Turbo S. Hoping for a 10sec flat 1/4mile

Are you you in Socal?

Naa I'm in TX.
I have made about 9 runs in the 10.5-10.7 range @ 131-132mph so I am sure that the range for my stock Turbo S. I may do the tune to see if I can do 134-135mph and low low 10s. But mostly want the unfiltered throttle response (like Teslas have, my wife's Model Y-P feels faster sometimes due to the throttle response lol) and full-time overboost without starting from a stop.

You should get 5mph better trap, .04sec better 1/4mile
The problem is when its not in launch its sluggish.

Another member here and I were comparing the throttle response to a Tesla and specifically the time I drove a EQE350 AMG. It feels much faster because it gives all the torque instantly, but dies right after. After I told Mario, they found a setting called "Drivability Adaption". The Audi is even worse than Taycan because it's a GT so it kicks in way later.
Mario can set how aggressive, but I tell everyone to remove the filter completely. It's only as aggressive as how you modulate the throttle

A big unknown with the Turbo S would be the 0-60 time. Is there a benefit with the upgrade? We are waiting to test this

What's your best 0-60time?

My best is 2.72 sec 0-60mph, it's usually 2.74-2.89 on average
I don't expect much more than a tenth or two (2.5-2.6 will be my expectations on my car), but I am wanting higher trapspeeds and better throttle response mostly

Yes!!!

Doesn't affect warranty, not detectable when dealer scans, all battery and motor protections stay in place
RWD will at least give you al the of the power without being in launch control

Just happened to browse this...
This statement is false. The ASG has full TD1 support. That means the VAG servers know when it was flashed with a tune, how much mileage was done, and when it was flashed to stock (if that was done).

Porsche has been very lenient with applying TD1 in the past, but Audi is required to perform a TD1 check every single time before any warranty claim is approved for powertrain components. In the USA you guys are better protected due to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. They can not deny warranty coverage even if it is TD1 unless they can prove that the modification is the cause of the failure. But in Europe, and most likely many other countries you're absolutely losing powertrain warranty and the car will get TD1 flagged.

The dealership can not tell anything or do anything. They will not run a TD1 check on purpose, they don't even have a clue how it works nor is any dealership out there to get you. I don't know if Porsche forces them to run a TD1 check when extending the warranty either, but Audi 100% does.

That said, if the original ASG is untouched and you receive a second unit that works with your car, then as long as you swap it every time before hitting the dealer, you'll be fine. And actually you should also be fine as long as there's no warranty work being performed (the check is not done automatically for something like a service), but it's much safer to just swap the controller.

Source: Wrote TD1 bypass patches for quite a few VAG ECU's before they moved that stuff to the HSM.

Still so tempting.
