This is very exciting news to those who have been patently waiting!!

The years of waiting are finally over. 401 Boot Loader Unlock and OBD flashing for 2022-2025 AL552/AL952 ZF8 and 2022-2024 DQ381 G2 are available now via 034SPI using the all-new Boot Loader Unlock (BLU) Harness and program function with your existing SPI dongle. Unlock and flash at-home or at a 034Motorsport authorized tuning dealer.

How it works: With a one-time unlock performed using the newly available BLU Harness and your 034SPI dongle/app, you can now easily flash 034Motorsport Dynamic+ TCU tunes to your:

2022-2025 B9.5 S4/S5/SQ5
2022-2025 B9.5 RS4/RS5
2022-2025 4M.5 Q7/4M8 Q8
2022-2023 4M.5 SQ7/SQ8
2022-2024 Mk8 GTI & Golf R
2022-2024 8Y S3

Directly from the OBD-II port after unlock. Once unlocked, you can flash and reflash your TCU with 034Motorsport software straight from the OBD port via 034SPI, just like your ECU tuning.

What does it cost? The BLU function in 034SPI is included free of charge with the purchase of any 034Motorsport Dynamic+ TCU tune, and is included free of charge for any 034Motorsport customer that already owns a qualifying Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 3 Dynamic+ TCU tune. All you need to do is purchase the BLU Harness to perform the unlock procedure (instructions on website) and purchase your preferred TCU tune stage (if you don’t own one already), or visit a 034Motorsport Authorized Dealer to have the unlock performed and tune purchased.

Get your BLU Harness and TCU tune today and get ready to experience the full transformation of your TCU!

Reach out for pricing if you’re ready to go to the next level!

If you own a 2022+ VW Golf mk8 R, GTI, Audi S3 8Y, Cupra Leon/Formentor, or similar MQB Evo with a DSG DQ381 transmission, you'll be only too aware of the frustrating tuning limitation: your transmission cannot be tuned.

RacingLine’s new Mechatronic Board Upgrade addresses the problem properly, right at the transmission level.

By replacing the locked '401' bootloader factory control board with RacingLine's original Bosch unlocked version, you will open up flashing capability over OBD (and our PDM flash at home system), giving the DSG gearbox a tuning-friendly '301' bootloader.

At last, this allows full, proper RacingLine TCU calibration capability to ensure correct clutch pressure control to match increased torque, plus of course a raft of enhanced performance driving features.
​
Plus, each Mechatronic Replacement Board includes RacingLine's advanced Dynamic TCU gearbox tuning in the price.

Go the Golf’s, very impressive! We’re super proud to be working with these guys, get in touch should you want some serious horsepower from your EA888.3. now.

EA888.3 into the 1000HP Range!

We’ve been busy developing, researching, and evolving. This is the start of a new chapter for the platform, with world first technologies now being put to the test.

We recently hit the dyno to validate the new setup for Yellowbird. While there is still more to explore, we’ve officially hit a milestone in our development program and the platform.

- Galano proECU/TCU Combo (OEM Simos18 ECU)
- Galano proRace Engine Package (4 Port Cylinder Head)
- Galano proLPFP Triple Pump Kit
- Galano proLPFP Controller Kit
- E98+ Racing Fuel
- XRE Turbo
- 300V Oil

For the technical enthusiasts - we have officially obliterated the factory 8,160 RPM ceiling. While retaining the OEM Simos18 ECU, this engine is now singing all the way to 9,200 RPM.

We’re pioneering the future of this platform, what’s next?

A sincere thank you to Dylan, Dejan, Dusan, Alex, Joe, James, Aaron, Jack, George, our proud customers and our global dealer network. Your trust in our engineering keeps us at the forefront of the industry.

Happy belated New Year everyone!

2025 was a whirlwind, and we’ve been a little quiet on social media — so apologies for our lack or presence here. We hope you all had a great Christmas and a cracker start to 2026.

A big thank you to our amazing customers/friends for your continued business and support — we truly appreciate it.

Here’s a photo from the Port Road Reverse Sprint last weekend, where we finished 4th overall.

Thanks to Events by "Cycl1n Photos"for the great shot!
