The owner of this 2010 Audi A3 1.8 TFSI wanted more engine power without changing the exhaust system. Before calibration, the dyno recorded 168 hp and approximately 254–255 Nm. The video compares this with the quoted factory figures of 160 hp and 250 Nm.

The first calibrated run produced 210 hp and approximately 358 Nm. A repeat measurement, under different test conditions, showed around 202 hp and 350 Nm. Both the main result and the later run are included here because they are separate measurements.

The dyno graphs show increases in power and torque after the software changes. The video notes that engine temperature limits were retained during calibration of this turbocharged petrol engine. No figures for sustained-load testing or fuel consumption are provided.
