Tweaking the 3.0 TFSI for more excitement.
The new supercharged, thupercharged, tuperchaged, or turborchaged (whatever that “T” in 3.0 T means) has been steadily becoming Audi’s bread and butter engine alongside it’s famous 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The forced induction that the 3.0 TFSI V-6 utilizes makes it a prime candidate for extracting more power through basic engine upgrades and that’s exactly what SKN Tuning has tapped into with their new upgrade program.
SKN has unveiled a new 3.0 TFSI tuning program for all models that the engine is used in ranging from the S4 to the A8. Each variant of the engine can be upgraded with two or three different power stages with different 3.0 TFSI tuning ECU upgrades and modifications, and can be optioned with a range of Milltek Sport exhaust systems.
