Racingline Power Control Module (PCM) – 265PS EA888 Gen.4 Engines (2024+)
The Racingline Power Control Module (PCM) is an OEM+ tuning box developed exclusively for the latest 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen.4 engine fitted to a range of VW, Audi, Cupra and Skoda models from 2024 onwards. It delivers a meaningful step up in performance while retaining the smooth, reliable driving character the engine is known for.
Unlike a permanent ECU remap, the PCM is a plug-in device that works alongside your factory engine management. It intelligently adjusts key sensor signals to safely increase boost and fuelling, giving you more power and torque across the rev range without permanently altering the factory software.
What the PCM Does for Your Car
Racingline have spent considerable time researching, developing and testing the PCM on real vehicles to ensure both power and torque are improved without any adverse effect on drivability or long-term engine health. The result is a sharper, more responsive car that still feels factory-smooth in everyday driving.
- Power: 265PS increased to 316PS
- Torque: 400Nm increased to 480Nm
- Stronger mid-range pull for easier overtaking
- Improved throttle response without losing OEM refinement
- Fully removable, returning the car to stock when needed

The PCM is straightforward to install if you have a basic level of mechanical knowledge. The unit sits above the battery on the supplied carbon fibre mount, and the wiring loom plugs directly into existing sensors at the top of the engine. No cutting, splicing or ECU flashing is required.
Free OEM+ Upgrade Path
As an authorised Racingline technical partner, we are able to offer a free upgrade to the next stage when the time comes, available to all PCM customers purchasing through racingline.shop and approved partners.
Register Your PCM Before Use
You must register the serial number of your PCM on the Racingline website before use. Registration activates the device’s warranty and your free upgrade entitlement. Failure to register may invalidate both.

Important Notes on Warranty and Legality
Any tuning modification can invalidate your manufacturer’s engine and powertrain warranty. If your dealer identifies the PCM fitted, they would be within their rights to reject a warranty claim on the engine or drivetrain. The PCM is fully removable and returns the car to true stock when taken off, leaving minimal trace on the ECU – however there is no guarantee that this product is warranty safe, and it is fitted at the customer’s own risk.
It is also your responsibility to notify your insurer of any modifications and to ensure your vehicle continues to comply with all local road laws.
Applications
