Seriously so pumped on the feedback we have recieved on the video! Could not thank all the viewers so far enough! New video is coming soon... Bought some new hardware and we have been testing 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Planning to up production level too! Stay tuned 😁 (haha get it?)
You can see it adjusting and getting faster the more you drive it. Totally normal with a new tune. That's awesome guys! Cool father and son team! My father and I get along like you and your father do in the video. My pops is one of my best friends. Good stuff.
@@mattp9932in newer cars like this it is entirely normal for the car to need to be driven to adapt with the tune. Most new cars have adapt drive cycles for normal part replacements.
I went IE stage 1 on my 18 a5 as well (about 1 month ago). I did some draggy hits and the increase was incredible. I shave 9/10ths off of my 0-60 time. Almost a full second! No hardware changes at all. We noticed the power increase after leaving the first stop sign. I’m real close to going stage 2 now.
Let me know if you go stage 2! I am curious. I love mine and the tune. Wouldn't change a thing. We bought a Draggy, so times will be in a video coming soon!
@@cargeek04 I’ve been searching high and low for a sound clip of a b9 a4/a5 with a cat delete only for a sound clip. I don’t want my car loud or to have a drone so I’ve been hesitant.
Remove the plastic cover on the intercooler , it is the same cooler that is used on the S5/S4 but the 2.0 has aproximity 1/3 of the intercooler blocked off with a plastic plate and once you remove it you have resolved high intake air temperatures and get much more consistency with the power from the tune.
I lived with my IE Stage 1 tune in my A5B9 for just under a year now, patiently waiting for my IE catted DP to arrive before I move up to Stage 2. Nothing went wrong over the last year, no problems, still VERY fun to drive. Can’t wait for stage 2!
I love the car...I turn around 10x to take a look at it when I go to the grocery store...I have the APR tune and I'm sure the IE tune is just as good and it's scary fast! I love it big time!!!
I am just glad I am not the only one haha. My wife always rolls her eyes at me when I turn around to look at it one more time! APR was on the list. Good to hear you like it!
A couple of things… For launch control it’s sport mode, dynamic, and you HOLD traction control off for a bit until it throws the warning that it’s all off. Then it’s left foot brake right foot gas to about 2500 to 3000. That will make a remarkable difference; it’s built in launch control on a normal car lol. The oem intercooler is weak sauce. If you are hot dogging it like that, it’s going to heat soak after 2 runs. An intercooler is really needed for back to back runs, but not needed for a couple of quick pulls. Its awesome that you are doing this with your dad…my dad and I do the same thing. Nice video!
I have found that launch control still works even if you do not hold the traction button to turn it completely off. Usually I reserve that for when I want a little slide time haha. And yes the more I read and hear it seems to be the case. Honestly for my use it will be fine, but we for sure hammered it way too much that day. Been a dream since for day-to-day passing. Thanks! We have more stuff planned and are hoping to start filming again soon! We really enjoyed it and there are some new cars in the family that would make things interesting...
In my b9 a4 if you hold the traction control button down and turn off stability control aswell the launch control rpm hold point changes from about 2000rpm to wrround 3500rpm.
Good to hear! My wife was pregnant so I am a little behind... But we have another video planned that is being filmed soon. We will show 0-60 times and I will be installing some new hardware!
Ah nice! I am located in Nineveh, just about 20 minutes south of Franklin. For sure wish there was an Audi community in Indy. Maybe one exists, although I haven't been able to find em!
Have u run into any issues? I’m rlly looking into this and the only things I’m worried abt r voiding warranty and engine damage. Warranty I can just factory reset/reverse the tune but engine idk. Any updates?
I have had 0 issues. Warranty will be up soon for me anyways due to how much I drive. So was less worried about that. But other than the extra fun you get everything else is as if it is factory. Highly recommend the tune. Dealer gave me an A4 the other day while they did recall work and missed mine so much!
@@cargeek04 Did you have any other mods put on? I have a 2019 a5 with a GFB diverter valve upgrade, IE intake, and resonator delete. I'm planning on getting valvetronic mufflers and finally the stage 1 when the warranty is out. A little worried about if it wont be as fast since I wont be getting the recommended intercooler.
@@SKLLZTHATKILLZ Yea, my car was out of warranty when I did the tune but holy shit the car as way more fun and refined. Probably one of the best purchases I've made!
So I actually sent it in for a warranty repair (mirror motor was making nasty sounds). Of course this being hardware related I had no issues. I think if I ended up having a huge failure that was engine related I could be in big trouble. BUT, every day that I get to mash the pedal and pass someone going to work is worth it!
It runs perfect! Absolutely no issues. Have been still taking it to the dealer for maintenance like usual. Only thing to gain here is more power and smiles!
@@SKLLZTHATKILLZsame. I want to stage 1 mine but worried they’ll check and void warranties upon service time. Less than 2k miles on mine so I have some time but still worried.
It honestly seems like you aren't that excited about the change. Almost barely noticeable. I have this exact same car (color, s-line, everything) and have been contemplating this tune. Not so sure now.
At first, I was not tbh. BUT, I could not imagine going back! The car was fun but did not give me the feeling of "wow this is quick" until I did the tune. Highly recommend!
@@aj6761stage 1 ecu gives you redline revs without tcu tune ?? Looking to get a tune but I’m not so sure what it comes with besides the little extra horsepower
🤔 all well & good but if you can post or detail the 0-60 times & subsequent difference after before any tune then make the video a bit pointless 🤷♂️ just saying it felt quicker doesn’t really mean a lot .. need the figures/data to back up you in car experience
I honestly had not thought of that... Have you tried it? The aftermarket exhaust all sound bad imo (for the 2.0). So maybe that would be a good middle ground.
@@cargeek04 Not me, but a lot of my friends with 2.0 Audis have done it and it honestly sounds great. All of the aftermarket exhausts as you’ve said aren’t really that good. The res delete will just add a little more joy to the ride.😁

Thanks for the tip! I will for sure check this out! I haven't had any issues since, but it has also been in the 30's here for the past month haha.

What do you mean sport mode. I just got my 18 a5. I see I can turn it to dynamic but how do I turn on sport ?
@@mattp9932 Dyanmic is sport mode
Great video, also like how dad was all for doing this! Nothing like father son bonding!
Thanks so much! We had a ton of fun. He has been looking for a new car so I have been trying to talk him into an RS!
Love the car! Have the same tune on my B9 A4. Tune feels really good! Hope your enjoying!
Thanks! I couldn’t be happier with it!
is the a5 sport back faster than the a4?
My name is Cole as well and I also own an audi and lived in Indiana until this past summer. Small world.
Haha nice! Means we both have good taste too!
Nice blenders! Getting my IE for S4 soon! Can't wait. Also intake and IE intercooler.
Let’s have a one year update please. Car still running ?
In my b9 a4 if you hold the traction control button down and turn off stability control aswell the launch control rpm hold point changes from about 2000rpm to wrround 3500rpm.
I have the 2021 A5 45tfsi quattro. Nice exhaust sound!
i have the B8 3.0V6 TDI and have done the stage 1 map, deleted the EGR and Swirl flaps. Its quick enough now for me lol.
Great video and production value! This is exactly the review video I was looking for. What are your thoughts on it now that it's been about a month?
Thanks! It has been awesome! I drive a ton and it pushed it just far enough to really up the fun factor. For sure recommend!
Awesome guys I have the same car has a tune running any problems
Thanks
whats the 0-100 and 400m time after stage 1 tune please?
Do you not have to email them the stock tune or anything? Like did it save the stock tune so you can go back?
Really wish they had a tune for 2023 tfsi 45 A5 Sportback. ( I cant seem to find one anywhere unless I want to use a JB4 or similar)
Did you find anything? Just ordered a 2023 a5 but I heard that there are no tunes available
@@berkannyetis integrated engineering is working on a tune, but it’s not going to be out until late this year early next year.
You have to get the full tcu tune also, not the free patch. It makes all the difference in the world.
My bad this is an a5 not s5
@@IRaoulDuke No worries! I wish I could also do a TCU tune... But I drive A TON of miles and my goal is to continue moving up the foodchain!
Is it possible for 2023 model too?
excited for future vids of this car!

How is the tune doing
Any problem s.. I’m gonna do the same car be a5 b9 coupe
Transmission is ok
Which battery charger did you use?
Where about in Indiana? I’m in Fort Wayne have an A4 B9!
Ah nice! I am located in Nineveh, just about 20 minutes south of Franklin. For sure wish there was an Audi community in Indy. Maybe one exists, although I haven't been able to find em!
Does anyone know how this compares to the Neuspeed power module for $380? I like the plug and play so I could remove it before going to the dealer.

Add the IE aluminum manifold, eliminates turbo lag. Have it on my 2012 Avant.
I am for sure hoping to do some more mods. Have heard cooling is good to upgrade as well. Might add to the list!
This is a b9, no such thing exists yet
Post more bro I’m about to get one
I have the a5 2022 but an 40 motor. Would this give me the 45 tune. My 2020 is 45 and I want that setup in my new one.
Tbh I am not sure. The naming is a tad different on the new models. I am not cool enough for a 2022 haha.
Is this the 40 tfsi or 45 tfsi?
45 tfsi.

Haha I am not sure about that yet! Might let the warranty run out before I go any further!
Okay I guess my cars pretty fast. I just need to fix my launch. My Audi A4 likes to bog on the launch. I only run 225 r888r.
why not go to the dyno and see. for the video

Nice! I dig the updates on the newer models. 2021 was just a bit out of the budget unfortunately. Hope you are enjoying!
