The AWE Tuning 3.0T Performance Pulley, coupled with special G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software will take your 3.0T to the next level a 488 HP level. S-Tronic owners, please be sure to read the S-Tronic Notes" section.
The Performance Pulley Suite
The AWE Tuning Stage 2 Performance Pulley suite is as follows:
AWE Tuning Stage 2 Performance Pulley Kit - Includes AWE Tuning 3.0T Performance Pulley (Pulley, Belt, Related Hardware, no tool) and G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software, as well as a handheld switcher.
AWE Tuning Stage 2 Upgrade - Includes AWE Tuning 3.0T Performance Pulley (Pulley, Belt, Related Hardware, no tool) and G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software for those who already have G.I.A.C. 3.0T Stage 1 Performance Software. Does not include handheld switcher.
AWE Tuning 3.0T Pulley Removal Tool Just the tool itself. Pulley and Software not included.
G.I.A.C. DSG DL501 S-Tronic Software A highly recommended addition for all S-Tronic equipped cars.
The Pulley
Through use of the smaller-than-stock AWE Tuning 3.0T Performance Pulley, the kit spins the 3.0Ts supercharger faster, creating more boost pressure while staying within the tested parameters of the unit. This increased boost pressure is used in conjunction with G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software to maximize the potential of the stock Eaton supercharger once coupled with the AWE Tuning 3.0T Performance Pulley.
The stock Audi ECU software directs a valve inside the supercharger to open, then waste (or bleed off") additional boost pressure. When the AWE Tuning 3.0T Performance Pulley is added, even more boost is created, as is the potential for even more bleed off. In steps G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software preventing bleed off from happening by safely keeping the bypass valve closed, then optimizing ignition timing and air fuel ratios.
The outcome? The AWE Tuning 3.0T Performance Pulley and G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software work together to ensure that maximum boost is harnessed, redirected and maximized, resulting in efficient and effective use of boost pressure, and safe, reliable, dramatic power increases for your 3.0T.
The Fully Loaded Stage 2 Software
AWE Tuning and G.I.A.C. have worked tirelessly together to produce incredible power with smooth, reliable drivability. G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software comes with the following files included:
Pump (91 or 93 octane) 100 octane race fuel file Valet file Handheld Flashloader Included when purchasing full kit (not included with upgrade from stage 1) All can be switched on the fly with the use of a G.I.A.C. Handheld Flashloader. G.I.A.C. Software cannot be purchased separately from the Performance Pulley.
Important S-Tronic Notes
To maximize power on S-Tronic cars, add the G.I.A.C. DSG DL501 S-Tronic Software, which enhances your S-Tronic equipped 3.0T by supporting higher torque levels, faster shift speeds and higher rev limiters.
G.I.A.C. DL501 software features:
- Shift points raised to 7,200 RPM in sport mode and 7,100 RPM in manual mode
- Optimized torque control for faster, smoother shifting
- Clutch pack clamping pressure raised to support higher torque levels
- Launch Control added to 2010 model S4s
- Launch control set at 4,000 RPM (from 3,000 RPM stock in DSG)
- Torque requests and limits raised
- Remapped sport mode "drive program" with improved ability to hold gears and added overheating protection
2010 S4 3.0T S-Tronic? Read on:
2010 S4 3.0Ts: It is strongly recommended that you also upgrade your transmission software as well if you are going Stage 2. Why me, you ask? On some 2010 S4s the stock transmission software in conjunction with the higher power from Stage 2 can bring about unfavorable shifting patterns, gear hunting and shift delays. The G.I.A.C. DSG DL501 S-Tronic Software eliminates the chances of this and delivers more performance at the same time. A win win.
Programs Included:
- Stock Program
- Pump Fuel Performance Program
- 100+ Octane Race Fuel Program
- Valet Program
- Privacy Firewall (locks program in place with password)
Switching between them can be done via the
1. GIAC has the most experience of any US tuner reprogramming Bosch Motronic. GIAC reprograms Audi/VW/Porsche/BMW/Mercedes/Fiat/Citroen destined for both US and German markets.
2. GIAC only writes ECU software and does not lose R&D time on developing exhausts, suspension, turbo kits, air filters, etc.
3. GIAC takes a base program from a new ECU (starting in their computer lab, using five dedicated networked computers) and completely disassembles out important functions using extremely complex engineering software. This is the same software used for the development of these ECUs by the manufacturer. When needed, GIAC emulates in real time with a professional engineering emulator, which allows 6 bit triggering and the ability to capture virtually any event while they run an ECU on a workbench.
4. GIAC then takes that source code and loads it into GIAC proprietary software "SHW version 8.02", where they can correctly modify any settings in the ECU. This makes GIAC different because they do not use commercial chip modifying software which can radically limit the tuning freedom needed to make a factory quality program. With a factory quality product, you will get silky smooth performance with stable power. GIAC can rewrite the code in SHW to modify anything.
5. GIAC designs and engineers in house all of their own printed circuit boards for encryption using advanced CAD software. They also write all of their own programs for encryption. This allows GIAC to get product to market much faster for a large variety of cars. It also protects GIAC software from increasingly common piracy found in the industry today. GIAC encrypts all of their chips to protect the cutting edge programming techniques they use.
6. GIAC's close ties with Bosch Gmbh ensures that their chips are state of the art.
