First true BEV tuning available? HGP-Turbo software for maximum battery performance / acceleration & raising Vmax speed limiter (for RS Etron-GT)

[Mr.Smith]

Faster than the Turbo S?! (6.9 sec)

Correct. I believe it will do the 1/4mile in better time as well.

I would love to see what it would do to the Turbo S

I reached out to them again to see if they will work on my North American RS E-Tron GT module.

Keep us updated.
Is there any info on how this affects battery?

The tuner claims it doesn't affect the battery or motors because it keeps the safety features and fail safes in place.

I've seen the VMAX run in one of the videos that the power gets reduced at the top speed.
It just unlocks more power and everything else stays the same.

Who knows the long term affects. I'm not keeping more car for more than 3 years so it's worth it for me.

 

[Mr.Smith]

I finally got this upgrade done. Long story on the whole process, but please PM me to discuss with more details.

I've had the car for a couple of days and have some feedback

Overboostfunktion permanently active, is this the launch control? Would already just love to have full power always available and no need to use launch control for this.

It's full power, but doesn't seem to change the front power to the front motor

So can you tell any difference driving it?

Absolutely. It just keeps wanting to pull

Have you got the chance to measure the performance diff, i.e. with a dragy or other GPS based equipment?
Wondering what measurable improvement it made.
Thanks

I got a .4sec better 1/4 mile time at 142mph, but I can get .5 improvement with a flat surface
100km - 200km is almost a 1sec improvement which is considerable

Still shocked it doesn’t improve the 0-60

Different inverter for the front motor so it doesnt unlock as much. Turbo S has the bigger inverter of 600amps which gives it that better 0-60

I got a .04sec better 1/4 mile time at 142mph, but I can get .05 improvement with a flat surface

.04 sec or .4 sec?

 

[Mr.Smith]

.04 sec or .4 sec?

Sorry, .4sec

Do you know someone who has a TS and did this upgrade? Just wondering and asking for a friend

Secondly, what times did you record as the time you shaved off is quite solid. I am aware that 0.4s is already quite a bit in tuning.

In my RS5 B9 I went thru all tuning stages and ended up with a low 10's 1/4 mile, 100-200kmu time of 6.3s and 0-200 in 9.9s. 0-100 with launch control (30% boost built up): 3.00s

Just wondering how this would compare to the Etron RS (tuned)? This gives me a better feel for the speed this tune added.

Cheers.
