Stage 2 ECU calibration dynamometer
Date 22.10.2024
Vehicle Audi A4
Engine 1.8T
ECU Bosch ME7.5

This Audi A4 1.8T is fitted with a K04 turbocharger and a front-mount intercooler. The rest of the engine setup, including the injectors, is described in the video as standard. The car uses a Bosch ME7.5 engine control unit.

Before the new calibration, the dyno measured 151 hp and 186 Nm. A noticeable dip was also present at around 2,700–3,000 rpm, making acceleration uneven.

After the software was calibrated, the dyno recorded 191 hp and 325 Nm. The power curve became smoother and the previous dip was no longer present. The video also discusses the limits of the standard injectors and the effect of intake air temperature, so any further power increase depends on the hardware setup and its testing.
