What is the difference between this kit and the standard Stage 2 package?

The hardware is the same: an AMS Performance front mount intercooler, a COBB High Flow Filter and a COBB badge. This version swaps in the Accessport with DSG and S Tronic flashing, which adds transmission maps, clutch service tools and gearbox logging. The standard kit tunes the engine only and leaves the factory transmission software alone.

Which S Tronic maps come with the Package with S Tronic Flashing?

The Package with S Tronic Flashing ships with four Off The Shelf transmission maps: COBB Aggressive, COBB Sport, COBB OEM+ and Simulated Stock. COBB set the full throttle shift points from wheel torque results on its own dyno, and the maps can raise minimum and automatic shift points and firm up gear changes.

Is it legal in California?

Yes. COBB lists this package as legal for sale and use on emissions controlled vehicles in all 50 states when installed according to the application guide, under CARB Executive Order D-660-235. That covers the Accessport, intercooler and filter supplied together, so the S3 can be driven on the street in California.

Can the Accessport help with clutch wear?

Yes, within limits. The TCM service tools let you adjust clutch touch points or trigger a clutch relearn, which COBB describes as a way to account for wear, slip or the extra torque from tuning. It does not repair a worn clutch pack, but it lets the gearbox adapt to its current condition.

Which S3 model years does it fit?

COBB confirms the 2015 through 2020 Audi S3 in the 8V generation, US market cars with the S Tronic dual clutch gearbox. The kit is not listed for the 8V A3, the newer 8Y S3 or the RS3, so check the model year and market of your car first.

Description

COBB Tuning Stage 2 Power Package with S Tronic Flashing for 8V Audi S3

COBB Tuning’s Stage 2 Power Package with S Tronic Flashing for 8V Audi S3 treats the engine and the dual clutch gearbox as one job. Its Accessport V3 reflashes the transmission control unit as well as the ECU, and COBB chose the full throttle shift points from wheel torque measured on the dyno at COBB headquarters. An AMS Performance front mount intercooler and a COBB High Flow Filter complete the Stage 2 hardware, and CARB EO D-660-235 keeps the kit street legal in all 50 states.

About COBB Tuning

COBB Tuning was founded by Trey Cobb in 1999 in Rockwall, Texas, as a Subaru performance shop in the back of his father’s tire shop, and is now headquartered in Austin, Texas. In 2004 COBB introduced the Accessport, a handheld ECU tuning device that flashes COBB’s off-the-shelf maps or a custom tune and doubles as a real-time gauge and datalogger. The range has since grown from Subaru to Ford, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Toyota platforms, with intakes, intercoolers, exhausts and flex fuel kits engineered alongside the tuning, and many COBB parts carry California Air Resources Board Executive Order numbers for use in all 50 states.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
