cant wait to see your reaction on stage 3....i just went to it...on b9 s5, pure 750 turbo and dynoed it at 550whp (approx 650 crank?) on 94 octane. enjoy the upgrade :)
I have the 034 stage 1 in my ‘21 S5 vert - true, not a lot of pops, bangs and burbles from the stock exhaust, so I added the VPS res delete. Now it sounds great! The car is fast as hell, sounds and shifts awesome, yet I didn’t have to invest in the stage 2 and it’s bolt on’s! I will eventually, but IMO this is the best bang (no pun intended) for the buck. The next planned engine mod will be the IE full intake system, then the 034 stage 2 TCU and before next summer, the upgraded intercooler.
i agree. installing a HFC and going stage 2 was something i put off, and didn't really see a need for since the power increase is negligible. However, i'm so glad i finally decided to do it. The sound alone is worth it. Way better than throwing $3k at an exhaust system.
@@jareds5436 been stage 2 e85 for about 3 months was on 93 for less than 24 hours because 93 was slow e85 is great tho going tte710 this month tho ready for that big power
Would you say I NEED a downpipe for stage 2 or do you think I can get away with stage 2 with intake and intercooler and no downpipe upgrade? I wouldn’t be racing i just wanna juice my car up
Yes, you definitely need it. The stock cat is a big restriction. Even with stock tune, after you change the cat you notice a difference, its almost like the car was stuffed up and you just opened the restriction
I had my B9 S5 sportback for little over 2years now and my warranty ends on 2026. I waited 2 years and kept my car bike stock but really want to tune my car with 034. Should I go stage 1 and then stage2? Or just straight to stage2? Or does the stage2 file comes with stage1 file?
What BHP & Torque at the crank will you get from this stage 2 tune on 93? I have a UK tune on mine which is 500bhp and 516 Torque BUT I hear 034 do it better! I need to know how it compares before spending ££££ 👍🏻
@@yacubahmed4165 I can’t really disclose the price because it was a pre release (1st customer car in UK) but I can say that the tuner was Revo. They have since however lowered the power figures twice! I’ve always felt the power could be more and have since switched to 034
@@jimmymcgoo8641 It was bullshit. They miss-sold me. Claimed 500bhp and 700nm I ran a back to back dyno when I changed to 034M/SPT and 034 tune made more power
im looking at buying an S5 b9.5 im curious if i were to go to stage 1 or 2 and place the car in comfort mode would it still burble and pop / be as loud? and would it change the driving structure in terms of power etc?
Hi man, did you replaced any internal parts with reinforced ones like pistons, crankshaft, rods, etc? Also did you notice any oil consumption or worn inside the engine? Nice Audi, my favorite one❤️💪🏼
@@DailyDownshiftI’ve also found oil on only one of my spark plugs, stage 1 2020 s4 (going stage 2 once my intercooler comes in)… Online searches I’ve done make it seem like it might just be the valve gasket needing replaced which is supposedly not a difficult job to do. If that’s what it actually is at least
Wanted your honest opinion, bro. Been interested in an S4 for 5yrs now. Long story short made the mistake of buying an STI 2 times since then. But now, I've been looking at the B9 chassis. How's the gear box holding and is the engine overall reliable and would you recommend keeping the car long term? Thanks in advance
I had an issue with the turbo and that was replaced under warranty, but that was rare. I think it's the best all around car for the money. However, like any car it will have issues as it ages but nothing yet!
The only thing I don’t like about the IE/034 tune it’s that when you rev it parked it only goes to 6200rpms, I believe with EPL “not sure” you could rev it up to 7000rpms and makes it sounds so different and better
