Racingline Power Control Module (PCM) – Audi RS6/RS7 (C8) 4.0 V8
The Racingline Power Control Module (PCM) is a plug-in tuning box designed specifically for the Audi RS6 and RS7 (C8) fitted with the 4.0 TFSI V8 engine. It offers a safe, fully reversible way to unlock significantly more power and torque from your car, without the need for a full ECU remap.
This makes it an ideal choice if your car is leased, still under warranty, or if a full ECU calibration is not yet available for your model. The PCM has been developed in-house by Racingline’s calibration team over an extensive testing period, ensuring power gains are delivered within safe operating limits.
How the PCM Works
The PCM runs on a standalone PCB (printed circuit board) that communicates directly with the factory ECU. Rather than rewriting the ECU’s software, it intelligently adjusts key signals to allow the engine to produce more power and torque safely. Because nothing is permanently altered in the ECU itself, the unit can be removed at any time to return the car to its original factory state.
Performance Gains
Fitted to GPF-equipped Audi RS6 C8 and RS7 C8 models (4.0 TFSI, 600PS as standard), the PCM delivers a substantial step up in performance:
- Power: 600PS increased to 689PS
- Torque: 800Nm (590 lb/ft) increased to 934Nm (689 lb/ft)
The result is sharper throttle response, stronger mid-range pull, and noticeably more urgency at higher engine speeds, all while retaining the smooth, refined driving character you expect from the RS6 and RS7.
Free Upgrade Path to OEM+ ECU Calibration
Racingline understands that many owners will eventually want a full ECU remap once it becomes available. As a unique benefit, every PCM customer is entitled to a free upgrade to Racingline’s OEM+ ECU calibration when it is released, provided the PCM was purchased from an authorised Racingline OEM+ dealer (such as ourselves).
Warranty Considerations
It is important to be realistic about the implications of tuning any modern vehicle. Any tuning modification, including a tuning box, can invalidate your manufacturer’s engine and powertrain warranty. If your dealer identifies the PCM fitted to the vehicle, they would be entitled to reject a warranty claim relating to the engine or drivetrain.
The PCM is fully removable, and once taken out, the car returns to true stock condition. While the unit leaves minimal trace on the ECU, there is no guarantee that this product is warranty safe, and it is installed at the customer’s own risk.
Fitment
This PCM is developed specifically for the Audi RS6 C8 and Audi RS7 C8 with the 4.0 TFSI V8 engine (GPF equipped, 600PS). Please use the vehicle lookup tool on our site, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab, to confirm compatibility with your exact model and year before ordering.
