The 2011 Audi A8 with a 3.0 TDI engine and quattro drivetrain was calibrated on a 4WD dyno. Its factory ratings are 250 hp and 550 Nm. Both the engine ECU and the automatic transmission software were adjusted.

After calibration, the dyno recorded approximately 328 hp and 759 Nm. That is 78 hp and 209 Nm above the factory ratings. The video highlights the need to account for transmission control settings when increasing power and torque on a newer vehicle.

All emissions systems remained installed on this Audi; the video states that the DPF, EGR and other components were present. The figures therefore show the calibration result with the factory equipment retained, rather than after its removal.
