VAG TFSI EA113 K03 Calibrations
Tuning guide for ea113 k03
We have done extensive research and developed on the MED9 control unit for the VAG EA113 engine over the past 14 years. Both on the K03 & K04 turbo variants found across the entire VAG range. Our inhouse development has allowed us to produce some of the most advanced market leading calibration across all software variants commonly found on this platform out producing the competition.

Here we show a great example of stage 1 & 2 taking place on a very healthy example of the EA113 TFSI K03 variant engine. This was an excellent example of a MK5 Golf GTI brought to us from stock and covering over various hardware and tuning stages. The graph defines what we have achieved within stages 1 & 2.

Stage 1 Calibration:
263BHP & 303Ftlb (410NM)
Stage 2 Calibration:

Please note due to the age of these vehicles we require them all to be fitted with the following prior to tuning:
- Genuine stock diverter valve (Do not use aftermarket “uprated” diverter valves they all boost leak)
- Genuine R8 coilpacks
- Genuine stock fresh set of sparkplugs
