Unitronic - UniFLEX Supported Stage 1+ Performance (Tune) Software for MK8 Golf R
The Stage 1+ tuning software for the Volkswagen MK8 Golf R engines requires an upgraded intercooler to achieve advertised power figures. The Unitronic MK8 Golf R Stage1+ software is flashed on to vehicles at our location in Cornelius NC or through the Uniconnect+ Cable (Required for self installation). This performance software is optimized for 93 octane fuel. Give your VW MK8 Golf R engine the power it deserves with this Performance Tune. We are located in Cornelius NC (Just North of Charlotte, NC). Please us contact for any questions or to schedule an appointment for your VW or Audi Performance Software.
Unitronic Stage 1 TCU Performance Software, Unitronic Intake with Air Duct and Unitronic Intercooler are required to achieve advertised power figures.
Calibrations engineered to maximize clutch life in vehicles equipped with MQ350 transmissions are also available to help you enjoy increased performance while minimizing clutch wear.
Performance Software for your ECU Box Code is subject to availability.

Features
Features
Start/Stop Memory Enabled Unitronic ECU calibrations include Start/Stop Memory, which enables the vehicle to now remember the last set position.
Boost Gauge Recalibration The OEM Boost Gauge has been recalibrated to show relative/gauge pressure rather than absolute pressure.
Coolant Temperature Patch The coolant temperature gauge has been patched to show actual coolant temperature as opposed to the "dummy" gauge as is factory.
Advanced Thermal Management Factory strategies include a tendency to favor higher operating temperatures for targeting maximum efficiency. Unitronic has developed and implemented its Advanced Thermal Management to target lower coolant temperatures based on the current drive mode selected by the driver. In more performance demanding conditions, like when operating your vehicle in Sport or Race modes, TCO targets are set to 90*C (194*F). Inversely, when maximum efficiency is preferred like when in Comfort or Eco modes, TCO targets are set to 100*C (212*F) and 105*C (221*F) respectively.
High Speed Data Logging via UniCONNECT+ For customers looking to gain greater insights about their vehicle's true performance, High Speed Data Logging for the SIMOS 19.6 ECU is now built in to the latest UniCONNECT+ Application allowing enthusiasts to collect high speed data logs at the a much higher resolution than any other publicly available tools can offer.
Optimized Responsiveness, Smoothness, Drivability, and Comfort Unitronic’s ECU calibrations are engineered to improve engine response and reduce low-end lag. Unitronic’s Performance Software has gained worldwide recognition and is well known for its broad powerband, with smooth power delivery, maximizing responsiveness and “area under the curve”, under normal and hard acceleration.
Ignition Timing Precisely Calibrated for Higher Octane Fuel Engine calibration optimized to take advantage of higher fuel quality to extract maximum energy from the combustion. Therefore, when using a higher octane fuel, more power and better fuel efficiency will be achieved.
Optimized Maximum Output Unitronic’s ECU Calibrators deliver the maximum power output while staying within the operational limits of the factory engine and drivetrain components. Specifically, this results in the highest engine performance without sacrificing the reliability of the engine, turbocharger, or other engine and drivetrain components.
Factory Safety Limiters Retained OEM “fail safes” are retained within the ECU calibration. Close monitoring of all operation parameters ensures that engine operation stays within factory components limits, resulting in reliability.
Power Delivery Perfectly Optimized Throughout the Power Band Aligned with the OEM strategy, the calibration is designed to offer a large flat torque plateau to provide a smooth and linear power band. Maximum torque output is achieved sooner and maintained longer which creates a broader torque plateau and greater area under the curve. This results in an improved acceleration and optimal engine operation.
Speed Governor Removed Vehicle speed limiter within ECU is removed. (Subject to transmission rotational speed limit.)
Improved Fuel Efficiency Optimized timing and injection in cruising condition allows for an improved fuel efficiency, under normalized driving conditions.
Engineered with Strict Industry Standards With over 10 years of experience with Bosch and Siemens engine management systems and calibrations, Unitronic is able to utilize its expertise, industry leading tools and equipment to ensure an optimal calibration; delivering maximum performance, while maintaining complete OEM-like reliability and drivability.
Extensively Tested Under Various Driving Conditions Development begins using Unitronic’s in-house Maha Chassis dyno housed in an environmentally controlled cell; closely monitoring a plethora of operational data, utilizing industry leading calibration tools and resources. Beta calibrations are then tested in street and track scenarios, using multiple cars under various driving conditions. This engine calibration strategy ensures Unitronic Performance Software delivers maximum performance, OEM-like drivability and reliability anywhere in the world. Unitronic Performance Software is only released to its Clients once development is thoroughly completed in accordance to Unitronic’s strict standards.
