Purpose-Built for the Garrett PowerMAX GT2563S
Dynamic+ Stage 3 was developed specifically for the Garrett PowerMAX GT2563S Turbocharger. Every aspect of the calibration has been optimized to maximize the turbocharger’s performance potential while maintaining the refinement, drivability, and reliability expected from a modern Volkswagen or Audi.
The result is stronger acceleration throughout the entire RPM range, improved top-end power, and a driving experience that feels factory-engineered from the moment you hit the throttle.

2022+ TCU Unlock Solution
For 2022+ MK8 Golf R & 8Y S3 models equipped with the latest 401 bootloader TCU, 034Motorsport offers an exclusive unlock solution that makes at-home TCU flashing possible.
Using the 034SPI Bootloader Unlock Harness (BLU), the TCU is unlocked one time using proprietary 034Motorsport tools. Once unlocked, customers can flash their Dynamic+ TCU tune directly through 034SPI over OBD, right from home, no bench flashing, no repeated unlock process.
Developed Without Compromise
Every Dynamic+ calibration undergoes extensive real-world testing before release. From daily commuting and canyon roads to drag strips and road courses, Stage 3 has been validated to provide consistent, repeatable performance in the environments enthusiasts actually use their vehicles.
This is more than just a turbocharger tune. It’s a complete performance package designed to deliver the power, drivability, and confidence you expect from 034Motorsport.

What makes Dynamic+ different?
While many tuners can achieve great power figures that look impressive on a dyno sheet or a webpage, the key to a truly substantive and transformative software upgrade lies in the strategies employed to make power efficiently and safely. 034Motorsport Dynamic+ Software strives to retain as many OEM safety protocols as possible, and holistically recalibrate the entirety of the ECU and TCU to create what we call the Dynamic+ experience.
034Motorsport engineers develop special in-house tools that allow us to access the firmware and maps inside the factory ECU. This level of engineering is required to prevent workarounds and bandaids that many aftermarket companies resort to. 034Motorsport optimizes the ECU calibrations just like Audi engineers would, accessing the source of how the ECU controls the engine and making changes at the base level.
This is the only way 034Motorsport can ensure our calibrations meet our industry-leading standards for delivering ultimate power with unrivaled drivability, uncompromised reliability, and enhanced features and functionality beyond what is provided in the factory calibration.
