𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶 𝗥𝗦𝗤𝟴 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁 × 𝗔𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗰̌ 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗘𝘅𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁

Another great installation from one of our authorised Akrapovič dealers, Motech Performance, who recently fitted the Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system to this facelift Audi RSQ8.

The RSQ8 is already an impressive bit of machinery, but the factory exhaust leaves plenty of room for improvement, particularly when it comes to hearing that 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8.

The Akrapovič Evolution Line gives the RSQ8 a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note while retaining the refinement you'd expect from a vehicle of this calibre.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗰̌?

• Lightweight titanium construction
• Improved exhaust tone and volume
• Retains factory exhaust valve operation
• No intrusive motorway drone
• Retains factory emissions equipment
• No ECU remap required
• Exceptional fitment and finish

It's a great example of how a well-engineered exhaust can transform the character of a vehicle without compromising its everyday usability.

A big thanks to the team at Motech Performance for another excellent installation and for sharing the video with us.

𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶 𝗥𝟴 𝗩𝟭𝟬 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀 – 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟮 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅-𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

We've had our Audi R8 V10 Plus back on the Dynojet this week, continuing development of our flex-fuel calibration using the DynoSpectrum DS1 platform.

We've been working with E50 and E70 ethanol blends, alongside testing a prototype intake from Infinity Designs, which has shown some promising results.

The car is still running the Akrapovič titanium slip-on exhaust with factory manifolds and catalytic converters retained.

𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 📈

🔹 Stock ECU (Akrapovič): 544 WHP | 406 LB-FT
🔹 Stage 2 (99 RON): 548 WHP | 410 LB-FT
🔹 Stage 2 (E68): 576 WHP | 429 LB-FT
🔹 Stage 2 (E68 + Infinity Intake): 590 WHP | 437 LB-FT

All figures measured at the wheels.

As expected with a naturally aspirated V10, the gains on pump fuel are relatively modest at peak power, although there are improvements throughout the rev range.

Switching to E68 made a noticeable difference, taking us to 576 WHP with the standard intake.

Adding the Infinity Designs prototype intake increased that to 590 WHP, a further 14 WHP at peak, with improvements continuing through the upper rev range.

What's particularly interesting is the difference in the mid-range.

At 5,514 RPM, we've gone from 369 WHP and 352 LB-FT on the stock calibration to 424 WHP and 404 LB-FT with the full package.

That's an additional 55 WHP and 52 LB-FT at exactly the same RPM.

Overall, we're now 46 WHP up on our original baseline, with considerably more performance available throughout the rev range.

Not bad considering we're still running factory catalysts and a naturally aspirated engine!

We'll be continuing development with Infinity Designs on the intake, alongside further work on our DS1 flex-fuel calibration.

More to follow as we progress.

**419 BHP | 496 LB-FT** 🔥

Who said plug-in hybrids can't be exciting?

This 2021 BMW 330e Touring recently visited PERON HQ for our Stage 1 ECU calibration, demonstrating just how much potential lies within BMW's B48 turbocharged petrol engine when combined with electric assistance.

Running on 97 RON fuel, with a rear silencer delete and otherwise standard hardware, the results speak for themselves!

UK FIRST! FORD FOCUS RS MK1 – TVS DQ250 DSG CONVERSION!⚙️🔥

A very special project recently arrived at PERON HQ, belonging to our good Scottish customer Jack, who competes in the Super Lap Scotland Time Attack Championship in his Ford Focus RS Mk1! 🏁
This UK-first setup combines a TVS Engineering-supplied DQ250 DSG gearbox with MQB mechatronics, working alongside Syvecs engine management in a car never designed to run a DSG transmission

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗘 🔧
When Jack brought the car down to PERON, the gearbox was struggling to operate correctly, either refusing to engage gears or being unable to shift beyond second.
Getting a conversion like this working isn't simply a case of plugging in a laptop and uploading software. It requires an understanding of the gearbox, mechatronics, vehicle electronics and communication between the engine and transmission.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 ⚙️
Working closely with TVS Engineering and Jack himself, our PERON engineers tackled the issues step by step:

✅ Verified the gearbox wiring and electrical connections
✅ Reviewed the Syvecs ECU configuration and communication
✅ Worked directly with TVS Engineering to identify calibration issues
✅ Developed and installed revised TVS DSG software
✅ Successfully completed the required gearbox adaptation procedures
✅ Restored gear selection and functional upshifts and downshifts

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧 🚀
From a car that couldn't drive properly to a functioning DSG conversion, selecting gears and shifting as intended! A huge milestone for Jack and his Focus RS, with the next stage being on-track testing and further calibration refinement ahead of the upcoming Super Lap Scotland season.

Projects like this demonstrate that TVS Engineering offers far more than conventional DSG remapping. With the right hardware, software and technical expertise, we can help bring complex transmission conversions to life.

PERON Automotive works directly with TVS to support everything from everyday DSG upgrades through to bespoke motorsport applications.

KTM X-Bow GT | Stage 4 Track Development 🏁

475–550 BHP. 7,500 RPM. Bespoke ECU & DSG development.
This KTM X-Bow GT has been developed for one purpose: sustained circuit performance.

Powered by a fully built EA113 2.0 TFSI with a factory-installed DQ250 DSG conversion, the car regularly completes 20–30 minute track sessions, creating very different demands to a typical road or drag application.

The Stage 4 engine package includes forged internals, upgraded valvetrain, PERON race cams and a Nortech turbo kit with Precision 5558 turbocharger, all controlled through the factory Bosch MED9 ECU.

Four boost-controller settings currently give the driver approximately:
• 475 BHP – wastegate pressure
• 500 BHP
• 525 BHP
• 550 BHP

Despite the engine being capable of 8,000 RPM, we’ve deliberately limited it to 7,500 RPM for sustained track reliability.

But one of the most interesting parts of this project wasn’t making the power—it was getting the gearbox to work correctly under heavy braking.

The X-Bow’s braking capability exposed a hard-coded restriction within the ECU’s rev-match strategy at approximately 6,300 RPM, preventing the DQ250 from carrying out the high-RPM downshifts the driver was requesting.

After extensive high-speed RAM logging, Nicholas at PERON and Dirk at TVS Engineering worked together to develop matched ECU and TCU changes, including bespoke modifications to the DSG software.

The result?
The car can now execute requested downshifts at up to 7,250 RPM, completely changing its behaviour under heavy braking.

Testing at Donington then highlighted another challenge. Sustained 500+ BHP running, high gearbox temperatures and repeated high-RPM downshifts required substantially more breathing capacity than we’d normally expect from a DQ250 application.

Back at PERON, we fabricated a bespoke twin-chamber engine and gearbox catch-can/breather system, with each side independently draining back into its respective system.

This is what proper track development looks like: build, calibrate, test, identify the limitation and engineer the solution.
More chassis development and lap-time testing to come.

Porsche 992.1 Carrera S | Stage 1+ ECU & PDK Calibration

Another strong result from a 992.1 Carrera S on the dyno.
This car came to us for a complete hardware and calibration package:

• Akrapovič Slip-On exhaust
• Turbosmart diverter valves
• BMC performance air filter
• PERON Stage 1+ ECU calibration
• PERON PDK calibration

Importantly, the factory catalytic converters, OPFs and emissions equipment remain in place. The objective was more performance without compromising reliability, refinement, noise levels or road legality.

One additional consideration—the car arrived with 95 RON fuel in the tank.

The owner normally uses 99 RON, which we recommend, but rather than changing the fuel we completed the baseline and calibration work on 95 RON. This also allowed us to validate the calibration safely under lower-octane conditions.

Hardware + Stock ECU & PDK
446 BHP | 410 FT-LB

PERON Stage 1+ ECU & PDK | 95 RON
540 BHP | 489 FT-LB
+94 BHP | +79 FT-LB

The 992.1 Carrera S uses the Bosch MG1CP007 ECU, which we've calibrated extensively across the 992 platform.

Our Stage 1+ software optimises torque, load, boost, ignition, lambda and throttle strategies while retaining the appropriate factory protection systems and safety margins.
But peak power is only part of the development.
Particular attention is paid to torque delivery and throttle response. Rather than making smaller throttle inputs unnecessarily aggressive, we maintain a smooth, linear relationship between pedal input and engine output. The result is considerably more performance when requested while retaining the control and refinement expected from a 992.

Our PDK calibration complements the additional engine performance by addressing the relevant factory torque limitations while retaining excellent shift quality and everyday drivability.

540 BHP and 489 FT-LB on 95 RON, with the factory cats and OPFs still in place.
Once back on the recommended 99 RON, we'd expect even stronger performance.
A genuinely fast, road-focused Carrera S without sacrificing the qualities that make the 992 so good to drive.
