What each modification does

Stage 1 for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Software-only remap for a car with standard hardware. 125 hp to 140 hp and 170 Nm to 192 Nm.
Stage 2 BASE for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Remap matched to hardware upgrades. Which parts are needed differs per engine. If needed we fine-tune the file up to 3 times free of charge, based on the datalogs you send us.
Stage 3 BASE for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Remap for a larger or hybrid turbo with supporting hardware. If needed we fine-tune the file up to 3 times free of charge, based on the datalogs you send us.
E85 or other special fuels modification for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): The calibration is set up for one special fuel, for example E85. This is not a flex-fuel setup.
Flex fuel mod for E85 or other fuel types for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): The engine adapts to the fuel that is in the tank, from petrol to E85 and any blend in between. This is not a fixed E85 calibration.
Pops and bangs for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Fuel still injected on overrun ignites in the exhaust and gives the crackle sound. Intensity can be set: soft (burbles), normal, hard or flames.
Hardcut limiter for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Ignition is cut at the limiter instead of fuel being reduced early, so full power is available to the redline.
VMAX speedlimit on/off higher/lower for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): The electronic speed limiter is removed, raised or lowered.
DTC off for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Selected fault codes are switched off so they are no longer stored or shown.
Cold start off - Catalyst heating off for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): The catalyst-heating phase after a cold start (raised idle, retarded ignition) is removed.
Catalyst off for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Catalyst monitoring by the lambda (O2) sensor is switched off so a sport catalyst or decat does not raise fault codes.
EVAP off for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Monitoring of the fuel vapour (EVAP) system is switched off.
SAI off for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): The secondary air injection system is switched off in software.
Boost Sensor Calibration for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Calibration for an uprated boost pressure (MAP) sensor.
IMMO_OFF for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): The immobiliser check is removed from the ECU, so the engine starts without the immobiliser.
Cloning (ECU/TCU) for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): The complete content of one unit is copied to another unit of the same type.
Checksum Correction for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): The checksums of the file are recalculated so the control unit accepts the modified software.
Anti lag for Audi A3 1.8 20v (125 hp): Boost is kept up when you lift off the throttle, so the turbo responds sooner when you accelerate again.
