Audi RS6 Stage 1 Development
Historical project — originally published 27 October 2015
This article preserves GAD Tuning's earlier Audi RS6 Stage 1 development account. The original feature concerned the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 application and a software-focused stage of development.
Software-focused development
The original write-up described ECU calibration without the later Stage 2 hardware package. It discussed programming access through the diagnostic connection where the ECU software allowed it, with a different access method needed for some variations.
The account reported around 700 bhp and 900 Nm for the development described. These are the historical article's reported figures. They do not establish the result, programming method or supported specification for every later RS6.
How it relates to Stage 2
The later project moved the discussion towards supporting hardware and the complete specification. Reading the two accounts together shows why a stage name should be understood in the context of that particular build.
For an RS6 enquiry today, provide the generation, model year, hardware changes and software history. GAD Tuning can discuss current mobile suitability and any workshop requirements without treating this 2015 development package as a current universal offer.
