2019–2024 Audi RS5 2.9T Stage 1 ECU + TCU Package (MG1CS002 / AL552)
Dyno Proven Gains: 390.5 HP → 451 HP / 411 TQ → 510 TQ
Boost Dynamic Tuning’s Stage 1 ECU + TCU Performance Package for the 2019–2024 Audi RS5 2.9T combines our in-house MG1CS002 ECU calibration with an optimized AL552 8-speed automatic TCU tune. The result is a harder-hitting RS5 that not only makes more power, but actually uses it — with smarter shift logic, faster shifts, and better overall drivability.
Our dyno testing shows a stock baseline of 390.5 HP and 411 lb-ft. With our Stage 1 ECU calibration, output increases to 451 HP and 510 lb-ft, a gain of +60.5 HP and +99 lb-ft at the wheels. Paired with the TCU calibration, you get stronger mid-range punch, crisper upshifts, better launch behavior, and a more connected driving feel in every mode.
Why Choose Boost Dynamic Tuning for Your RS5?
- U.S.-based tuner focused on advanced MG1CS002 ECU and AL552 TCU calibrations for the 2.9T RS5
- All ECU and TCU files developed in-house — no generic maps, no resellers
- Backed by real dyno data and real-world logging, not marketing hype
- Integrated ECU + TCU package for cohesive behavior and torque management
- Direct access to your tuner — you talk to the calibrator, not a sales script
- 100% remote installation with live support anywhere in the USA
Stage 1 vs. Stage 2 – Which Is Right for You?
Stage 1 ECU + TCU Package is ideal for a stock or lightly modified 2019–2024 RS5 2.9T. It maximizes safe power on factory hardware and refines the transmission behavior for quicker, smarter shifts without requiring exhaust or intake changes.
Stage 2 is for RS5 owners running supporting modifications (high-flow downpipes, upgraded intake, improved cooling, etc.) and looking for more aggressive boost, timing, and exhaust behavior. If you’re unsure what fits your build and driving style, we’ll help you plan based on how you actually use the car — daily, canyon runs, roll racing, or track.
ECU Calibration Benefits – MG1CS002 (2.9T ECU)
- Dyno Proven Power: 390.5 HP → 451 HP / 411 TQ → 510 TQ
- Sharper Throttle Response: More immediate pedal feel without “on/off” jerkiness
- Refined Torque Management: Improved torque delivery and cooperation with the AL552 TCU
- Optimized Boost, Timing, and Fueling: Calibrated for safe, repeatable performance
- Optional Exhaust Crackle/Overrun: Low, Medium, or Intense levels available on request
- Exhaust Valve Strategy: Valves remain open in Dynamic/Sport/RS modes for maximum sound
- Start/Stop Default Off: Engine stop-start begins in the off position for a cleaner drive
- Safe, Data-Driven Mapping: Built from logs, dyno sessions, and real-world testing
TCU Calibration Benefits – AL552 8-Speed Automatic
- Raised Torque Limits: Allows the transmission to fully utilize added ECU torque without premature intervention
- Improved Shift Speed: Faster, more decisive upshifts and downshifts in Sport/RS modes
- Optimized Shift Points: Better gear selection in D/S/RS modes to keep the 2.9T in its powerband
- Refined Part-Throttle Behavior: Smoother, less “busy” shifting around town and on the highway
- Launch Behavior Optimization: Launch control activated and calibrated; settings can be adjusted by request
- Reduced Kickdown in Manual Mode: Manual mode behaves more like a true manual — less unwanted auto-downshift
- Line/Clutch Pressure Adjustments: Improved clutch clamping and shift feel under load
- Better Cooperation with ECU Tune: TCU and ECU are calibrated together for consistent, predictable performance
- Improved RS Mode Experience: More aggressive logic when you want it, without ruining daily drivability
Power Gains Summary – 2019–2024 Audi RS5 2.9T
| Configuration | Horsepower | Torque (lb-ft) |
