It seems that a Swiss tuning garage by the name of Sportec has recently developed a ECU uprade kit for the Audi TT RS. Yes, we know, the Audi TT RS hasn’t made its way to the US yet but for those of you with access to the car, read on.

This upgraded Audi TT RS chip will up the car’s horsepower from 335 to 400 and lb-ft of torque for 328 to 401. That’s enough power to make for a 0-60mph sprint in 4.2 seconds as opposed to the stock 4.6 seconds.

Hopefully Sportec will find it in their hearts to export this chip to the States if/when the Audi TT RS is dropped domestically.
