KermaTDI Q-PRO+ Stage 1 TDI Tune (+50whp/+100lb-ft), 2015-2016 VW & Audi 2.0 TDI

 Q-PRO+ Performance Tuning, 2015-2016 VW & Audi 2.0 TDI (Jetta, Golf, Beetle, SportWagen, Passat, Audi A3)

Add +50 whp and +100 lb-ft to your EA288 TDI, a 35-40% gain in both power and torque, dyno-proven on a stock car with nothing changed but the tune. Same car, same dyno, same day: the lower lines are stock, the upper lines are with our Stage 1. On a 4th-gear pull from 1,200 rpm it's seat-planting torque on demand, and daily drivability stays perfect.

Flash it yourself with the included Q-PRO+, a full-color touchscreen handheld that switches between your factory tune and your Kerma tune in minutes. No shop visit, no ECU removal.

Why this tune:

• Quicker turbo response, significantly reduced lag
• Wide, consistent power band (no spikes or hard-throttle dropouts)
• Up to 10% better MPG on the highway
• Clean, consistent EGTs and soot, regens behave exactly like stock
• All factory emissions equipment stays intact. No deletes, no expensive bolt-ons
• Engineered with a systems-analysis approach. We tune to the real capacity of your hardware, not generic percentages
• Tuned and supported 100% in-house, dyno-proven

DSG transmission flashing, check your model:

• Jetta, Beetle, Passat (2015-16): available now through the Q-PRO+ via OBD, added with your engine tune. No special tools needed
• Audi A3, Golf, Golf SportWagen (2015-16): not yet available via OBD. These require specialty tools and access to the transmission computer. Order the DSG tune and we'll coordinate timing and instructions as tools become available

When flashed, our DSG tune fixes the factory calibration's worst habits: slow shifts, gear hunting, early upshifts that bog below the torque band, and reluctant downshifts. Every mode is transformed:

• Drive: quick, decisive shifts that hold the torque band, drives like a manual you control
• Sport: true sport behavior, responsive and rally-quick, instead of refusing to shift
• Manual: an actual manual mode, holds your gear to redline, won't downshift unless you ask

One customer put it best: "It's like a new car. 200% more drivable. Step on it and it immediately drops a gear with no lag, and off it goes."

Fits: 2015-2016 VW Jetta, Golf, Beetle, Golf SportWagen, and Passat, and Audi A3 (2.0 TDI EA288). Windows PC required, not Mac compatible. Remote tuning via OBD2, install video and full instructions provided. Planning an upgrade turbo later? Retunes are free when you add our CR190 turbo.

FAQ

How much power and torque does this tune add?
This Stage 1 tune adds +50 whp and +100 lb-ft, a 35-40% gain in both power and torque over stock, dyno-proven with nothing else changed on the car. The torque gain is where you'll feel it most, especially pulling from low rpm.

Does this work with the DSG transmission?
It depends on the model. Jetta, Beetle, and Passat (2015-16) support DSG flashing now through the Q-PRO+ via OBD, added with your engine tune. Audi A3, Golf, and Golf SportWagen require specialty tools not yet available via OBD, order the DSG tune and Kerma will coordinate timing as tools come online.

Will this tune affect my emissions equipment?
No. All factory emissions equipment stays intact. No deletes or bolt-on modifications are required.

Can I switch back to my factory tune?
Yes. The Q-PRO+ is a handheld touchscreen programmer that switches between your factory tune and your Kerma tune in minutes.

Does the tune account for hardware I've already modified?
Yes. The tuning approach is systems-based, calibrated to the real capacity of your specific hardware rather than a generic percentage bump, so it accounts for a stock or lightly modified starting point.
