Unleash the true potential of your 2012 Audi S4 with 034Motorsport Performance Software. Designed specifically for the B8 Audi S4 equipped with the potent 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 engine, this ECU tune delivers a significant boost in power and responsiveness, transforming your driving experience without compromising reliability or daily driveability. Discover how a simple OBD-II port flash can elevate your S4’s performance to exhilarating new heights.
Experience the 034Motorsport Difference for Your 2012 Audi S4 Tune
034Motorsport stands at the forefront of Audi performance tuning, and their software for the 2012 Audi S4 is a testament to their engineering expertise. Developed in-house on their own B8 Audi S4 and rigorously tested on enthusiast vehicles, this tune is meticulously calibrated to optimize the Simos 8 ECU for peak performance and safety. If you’re looking to enhance your 2012 Audi S4, 034Motorsport offers a comprehensive tuning solution that is both powerful and refined.
Is This Tune Compatible with Your 2012 Audi S4?
This 034Motorsport Performance Software is specifically designed for 2012 Audi S4 models (and other B8/B8.5 platform vehicles like the S5, Q5, SQ5, and C7 A6/A7) equipped with the Simos 8.4 or 8.5 ECU. It’s crucial to verify your engine code to ensure compatibility. This software is not compatible with CREC engine codes (Simos 16).
A simple visual check can confirm compatibility: inspect your supercharger pulley. If it’s a slip-on pulley, this software is compatible. If your upper supercharger pulley is attached with 4 bolts, you have a CREC engine, and this software is not the correct option. If you’re uncertain about your engine code, 034Motorsport’s Tuning Support Team is available to assist you.
Environmentally Conscious Performance: CARB Exempt Options
For Audi S4 owners in emissions-controlled regions, 034Motorsport offers California Air Resource Board (CARB) exempt Stage 1 files. These CARB-approved tunes deliver the same impressive performance gains while complying with stringent emissions standards. This means you can enjoy enhanced power legally in areas with strict emissions regulations. Upon flashing a CARB exempt file, you can request your CARB Executive Order sticker by completing a simple online form, ensuring full compliance and peace of mind.
Advanced Launch Control: Maximize Your 2012 Audi S4’s Off-the-Line Performance
034Motorsport goes beyond simple power increases with their Dynamic+ tuning. Advanced Launch Control is included, offering customizable launch RPM settings adjustable on the fly via your cruise control stalk. This innovative feature, typically found in high-performance vehicles, allows you to optimize launches for various conditions, reducing 0-60 times and enhancing your S4’s performance at the drag strip or on the road. Furthermore, the system activates intercooler pumps and engine fans at full speed below 10kph during staging, ensuring the coolest possible intake air temperatures (IATs) for maximum power during launch.
Note: For 2012 Audi S4 models with DL501/ZF8 transmissions, a 034Motorsport TCU tune is necessary to utilize Advanced Launch Control. Manual transmission vehicles do not require a TCU tune for this feature.
Flash Your 2012 Audi S4 Tune from Anywhere with the 034SPI Mobile App
The 034SPI Mobile Flashing Application brings unprecedented convenience to tuning your 2012 Audi S4. Compatible with iOS and Android devices, and even Apple Silicon laptops, 034SPI empowers you to flash your ECU and TCU tunes directly from your smartphone or laptop.

Optimize Your 2012 Audi S4 Transmission with TCU Tuning
To further enhance your 2012 Audi S4’s performance, consider 034Motorsport’s TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tunes for both the DL501 7-Speed DSG and AL551 8-Speed ZF8 transmissions. These TCU tunes work in harmony with the ECU tune to maximize power delivery and driving enjoyment.
DL501 7-Speed DSG TCU Tune Features for Audi S4:
Specifically designed for the DL501 DSG transmission found in the 2012 Audi S4, this TCU tune raises the RPM limiter, allowing you to fully utilize the increased powerband from your Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 2+ ECU tune. It also optimizes shift points in Drive and Sport modes for quicker, more performance-oriented gear changes, increases DSG clutch clamping force, improves shift speed, disables manual mode auto downshifting, and raises the launch control counter limit. Like the ECU tune, the TCU tune is flashed directly through the OBD-II port, eliminating the need for TCU removal.
AL551 8-Speed ZF8 TCU Tune Features for Audi S4:
For 2012 Audi S4 models potentially equipped with the AL551 ZF8 transmission (depending on market and specific model year variations), 034Motorsport offers a dedicated ZF8 TCU tune. This tune optimizes the ZF8 transmission’s operation to complement Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 2+ ECU software. Features include a raised RPM limit, compatibility with Advanced Launch Control, optimized shift points and launch control, and improved shift speeds. Installation is also OBD-II port flashed for maximum convenience.
ECU Software Features: Unlock Your 2012 Audi S4’s Hidden Power
Increased Horsepower & Torque: Experience substantial gains across the entire powerband, transforming your 2012 Audi S4’s acceleration and responsiveness.
Advanced Launch Control: Take advantage of adjustable launch RPM and improved acceleration times for optimal off-the-line performance.

Enhanced Throttle Mapping: Refined throttle mapping in both Dynamic and Comfort modes provides sharper throttle response and improved control.
Increased Rev Limit: A raised RPM limit to 7,200-7,600 RPM expands the powerband and delivers greater peak horsepower.
Speed Limiter Defeat: The speed limiter is removed, allowing for unrestricted top speed (where legal and safe).
Crackle Overrun (Optional): Enjoy aggressive crackle overrun in Dynamic Mode. No-crackle files are also available upon request for a more subtle driving experience.
OBD-II Port Flashing: Conveniently flash the tune directly through your factory OBD-II port.
