A Stage 1 remap takes the 540hp Audi R8 V10 to around 630bhp on our rolling road, and the 570hp and 610hp Plus versions reach the same ceiling. It is a naturally aspirated 5.2 FSI, so there is no boost to raise: the gain comes from ignition timing, throttle mapping, the rev limiter and lifting the factory restrictions, which is why the percentage is smaller than on a turbo car and why the way it revs changes more than the peak figure suggests.

After extensive work on the dyno and road, we have developed a calibration for the R8 V10 that significantly boosts performance without compromising the smooth driveability of the V10 engine.
Our Stage 1 upgrade safely increases the power of the standard V10 model to approximately 630 BHP / 639 PS.
Using OBD programming through the on-board diagnostic port, we can easily tune or revert the ECUs back to standard without removing them from the vehicle.

- Audi R8 Gen 2 Stage 1 Dyno Graph
Please note this dyno graph shows raw data measured at the wheels. Our system then calculates drivetrain losses to produce engine power figures.
The Stage 1 Power upgrade includes:
- Updated ignition control, variable valve timing, and fuel maps
- Increased power and torque throughout the entire rev range

Stage 2 features a high-flow replacement exhaust system from Remus and Eventuri cold air intake to allow the engine to breathe easier. This system uses the standard onboard electronics to vacuum control the integrated valves. With an additional remap, we can harness the improved exhaust flow to achieve the full 645 BHP / 653 PS on the standard V10.
The sound quality (with valves open) will be greatly enhanced. The Remus exhaust system are available for order and in house fitting, due to the R8’s complexity, require 12 hours to install.

Stage 2 Package:
- ECU remap
- Revised ignition control, variable valve timing, and fuel maps
- Eventuri Cold Air Intake Kit
- Remus Exhaust systems (Other options available)
- Professional installation – Approx 12 Hours
Please note that if you prefer to switch to a different brand of part, we can accommodate this request, but it will affect the overall cost. The packages we offer with the displayed parts are what we recommended.

The stock figures are impressive alone. With no forced induction there’s not much we can do to the car to make a noticeable difference. This is why Oakley Design decided they wanted us to supply and fit a VF Engineering supercharger kit to the engine. With this, our tech guys had to make hundreds of adjustments to the map before even running the car on the dyno. After this foundation layer is draft, we are able to tweak and alter the map to squeeze more power out of the supercharger.
We eagerly started the final dyno run to find that Oakley Design’s car was now running a whopping 781BHP and 837Nm torque! With 241BHP and 297Nm torque increase, this car is a hypercar killer. You wouldn’t be wrong in thinking this isn’t the same car as the supercharger really does change it in every way. But the benefits don’t stop there. The torque band is now so much smoother meaning when the pedal is touching the floor, your jaw swiftly follows.
If you have an Audi R8 V10 and are looking to get more power, you should consider our forced induction conversion. We supply, fit and tune all here at our facility in Maidstone, Kent.

FAQ's
Coming soon…
Motorsport-exclusive components are explicitly designed for track use. While they can be installed on any vehicle, it’s important to note that using such parts renders the vehicle unsuitable for road use and may result in MOT failure.
No! Our remaps are designed specifically to improve the performance of your vehicle whilst remaining within the tolerances of your vehicles’ components.
Sadly, in attempt to achieve ‘big numbers’ some other companies over tune engines, placing excessive stress on the engine, transmission, cooling systems, etc, leading to reduced life span and reliability of the vehicle. We pride ourselves in producing reliable remaps which do not over stress your vehicle but still produce impressive results.
In any case where a customer is dissatisfied with any ecu remap software supplied, within thirty days of the supply date, the customer can request their money back. In order for any refund to be processed, the customer must present their vehicle to our workshop and allow our technicians to restore the vehicle to its original state. On successful completion JF Automotive will refund the cost of the remap to the customer.
No refund can be granted unless the vehicle is returned to the original state by JF Automotive. The 30-day money back guarantee only applies to stage 1 remaps and does not apply to other services like pops and bangs, parts or dyno sessions.
If another modification is purchased alongside a tuning file, which relies on a remap to operate, only the cost of the file is covered by this guarantee. We reserve the right to withdraw this 30 day money back guarantee.
Absolutely. We offer this service free of charge if the vehicle is brought back to us. We’ll be very surprised if that’s what you want after taking one of our remap products, however in the case of lease cars some customers prefer to put the car back to standard before returning the car. You might want it back to standard if you are visiting a dealer for warranty or service work, again we will do this for free. Should you lose your tuning files due to dealer actions or parts failure we will be happy to re-install the map onto your car free of charge where possible.
No problem, simply bring the vehicle back in and we will take a fresh read of your ECU and write you a new map file free of charge. We offer this as part of our lifetime software support.
Whilst the remap is undetectable to dealer equipment, you should notify your insurance company of any modification to your vehicle. Many insurance companies do not penalise you for upgrades of this nature, particularly if you’re tuning for increased economy however a failure to disclose modifications may invalidate your policy. You may wish to enquire with your insurer if the modification will affect your policy prior to choosing one of our services.
We get asked, “Why do some tuners charge as little as £150?” There are a few factors as to why we do not offer remapping for £100-£200!
We supply custom written files for each vehicle that we remap that take in to account condition, milage and customer request of each vehicle. Our services are fully insured with a 30-day money back guarantee and lifetime support for the tuning software supplied. We constantly invest in the most up to date tuning and diagnostic equipment and software and we offer a quality service to all our customers.
Overall our custom supplied tuning software is of the highest standard that we know of, so if you want the best of the best, choose JF Automotive.
Questions we get asked
How much power does an Audi R8 V10 gain?
The 540hp Gen 2 and Gen 3 cars go to around 630bhp on our dyno. The 570hp and the 610hp Plus reach the same figure, so the lower-output cars gain most. The earlier 5.2 V10 at 525hp goes to about 570bhp.
Can you really tune a naturally aspirated engine?
Yes, but honestly: there is no turbo to turn up, so the gains are smaller than on a forced induction car and anyone promising you turbo-sized numbers is not telling the truth. What changes is timing, throttle response, the limiter and how freely it revs out.
Is the R8 the same as a Lamborghini Huracan?
They share the 5.2 V10 and a great deal of the platform. The state of tune and the software differ, and we tune both, but the family resemblance is why the figures look similar.
Do I need an exhaust or intake first?
Not for Stage 1. On a naturally aspirated engine a less restrictive exhaust does help the map do more, so if you are already planning one, do it first and we will write the file around it rather than mapping twice.
Will it affect the S tronic gearbox?
The dual-clutch has its own software and its own limits. At these power levels we would look at the gearbox calibration alongside the engine so the shifts keep up and nothing is clipped.
Do you dyno it?
Yes. We have a Mustang AWD rolling road rated to 2000bhp on site, so a car like this is run before and after and you get the graph for your own car rather than a number from a table.
