Audi R8 5.2 FSI 525hp Remap

The Audi R8 5.2 FSI 525hp is a 5.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 525 BHP and 530 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 570 BHP and 580 Nm — a gain of around 45 BHP (9%) and 50 Nm (9%).

This engine has limited remap suitability, with a balanced spread of gains across both power and torque — providing a noticeable improvement across the rev range. The tuning headroom is classified as limited, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.

From a technical perspective, the ECU is typically a Bosch MED9/MED17 (varies), and the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..

Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.

All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
