O.CT Tuning Spiffs Up the Audi A4. 2.0 TDI and A3 1.8TFSI Convertible

Yet another tuner is taking a swing at the new Audi A4 and A3 Convertible models. This time its O.CT Tuning that has released new performance kits for the A4 2.0 TDI with 120HP and 143HP as well as for the A3 Convertible 1.8 TFSI. For the diesel powered A4s, a reprogrammed ECU boosts output of both variants of the 2.0 TDI to 168HP and 375Nm or 277 lb-ft of peak torque. According to O.CT, the 168HP A42.0 TDI accelerates from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 8,0 seconds versus the 143HP stock model's 9,4 sec.

Furthermore, the Austrian tuning house claims that while the standard A4 2.0 TDI needs a distance of 1,600 meters (about a mile) to reach a speed of 180 km/h or 112mph, O.CTs version hits the mark after 1,100 meters or 0,7 miles.

Similary for the A3 Convertible, , O.CT Tuning's upgraded ECU adds an extra 45HP to the 1.8 TFSI 160HP engine for a total output of 205HP that helps the car accelerate from standstill to 100km/h in 7,3 seconds, or around 1 second faster than the standard model.

Even though O.CT Tuning concentrated on the A4 and A3 Convertible models, apparently the software upgrades apply on any models with the same engines.

O.CT Tuning Boehler concept.BS3 - 328HP Audi S3

If you're brave enough to depart 99,950 Sfr (roughly €67,200 or $87,200 US with the current exchange rates) to obtain a more extreme version of the Audi S3 then O.CT Tuning's new "Boehler concept.BS3" might do the trick for you. To be produced in a limited volume of 100 units, the BS3 comes with O.CT Tuning's Stage 3 engine kit that includes a specially developed ECU, a sport exhaust system, improved air intake system and an additional intercooler.

With this kit, the S3's 2.0 TFSI engine produces 328HP and 425 Nm of torque versus the standard's car's 265HP and 350 Nm. The Austrian tuner said that the BS3 accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) almost a full second quicker than the stock S3 (5.7 sec) while top speed rises from 250 km/h to a hefty 265 km/h (165mph).

Other mechanical modifications concern the fully adjustable O.CT Coilover Suspension and an 8-piston braking system with 372 mm discs/rotors.

The S3's exterior looks are enhanced with an aerodynamic package designed by Swiss Styling Expert Color Concept Boehler. The car's widened fenders allow the use of a significantly bigger wheel-tire combination - two piece, forged MÖZ-Wheels measuring 9 x 20 inches up front and 10 x 20 inches at the rear. The alloys are shed with Yokohama Advan Sport Tires with 245/30 R 20 and 255/30 R 20, respectively. Finally, the kit also comes with carbon-fiber Add-ons for the engine, battery and air intake.
