Tuning for 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen.4
By RacingLine.
It’s been a long wait! But finally, after two years of development, RacingLine’s OEM+ tuning is here.
RacingLine’s Stage 1 OEM+ Performance Software delivers exceptionally strong, safe gains for the 300/310/320ps 2.0 TSI EA888 gen.4, all with no hardware modifications required, retaining your GPF/OPF (if applicable).
This new gen.4 EVO software has been tested and tested on road, track and dyno all over the world. And now, it’s ready to transform your car.

High Torque vs Lower Torque.
Which is right for you?
As you can see above, we offer this calibration in High Torque and Lower Torque configurations. Both maps reach the same peak power, but the Lower Torque option has torque limited to 480Nm in lower-mid range to protect your clutches (if TCU not installed). So which is the right choice for you?
Firstly, the High Torque calibration needs to be run with a TCU DSG tune to get the best from it. If TCU is currently not available for your car (see below) we recommend the Lower Torque calibration. Of course, you can upgrade to the High Torque for free in future if you purchase TCU when it becomes available for your car.
We also recommend the Lower Torque calibration for FWD cars. As the power and torque delivery is more linear than the High Torque map, it helps to maintain traction and ultimately makes the car more drivable.
Finally, for 6MT manual transmission cars, the Lower Torque calibration will protect the stock factory clutch – a known weak point in these cars running high power. Then you can upgrade to High Output for free in future if you fit a stronger aftermarket clutch.
DSG Tuning.
Matched TCU Upgrades.
TCU calibrations for the DSG gearbox are still in development phase for certain EA888.4 applications. 2022 cars cannot yet have TCU installed, whilst 2021 cars have some gearbox codes ready to flash immediately and others are in development. Your RacingLine Software installer can advise you on availability.
If TCU Calibration is available for your car, it is certainly recommended – and essential if you are choosing the High Torque ECU Stage 1.
If no TCU Calibration is available for your car currently, we recommend our Lower Torque ECU calibration. Remember, with our Free of Charge upgrades for life, you can always buy TCU in future, then upgrade to the High Torque calibration for free.
By adding TCU alongside your ECU, the engine’s torque output is increased quite significantly versus a car with ECU tuning only.
Our well-proven TCU tuning will not only handle the power gain with higher clutch pressures, it also reprograms the shift characteristics to give a much more natural and enjoyable drive.

All figures are measured at crankshaft on RacingLine Superflow Dyno.
As dyno readings can vary, these figures intended for illustrative purposes only.
