My 2.0 tdi is running 37.5 psi of boost. It’s a little rocket ship. 497 nm as well. Don’t underestimate new generation Diesels. Especially if their remapped from a quality code writer
Hey is there someone in Victoria doing this tune. I have read a lot but you guys are the only one in Australia that I can find that show some actual results not just writing it in a blurb.
New diesel’s love boost. My 2014 5-series M5-50D with tripple turbo’s are running 520hp/1050nm @ 55-58psi / 3.8-4.0 bar on all four wheels. Originally it’s boosting to 50psi / 3.5 bar and 380hp/740nm.
Bmw says "Maximum boost pressure is 3.5 bar", when the engine is original with no tune. If I check the boost it starts at 0bar and stops at 3.8-4.0 at full pull. So I guess it’s 5bar with atmospheric pressure.
Love the torque from diesel, I'm pushing 45psi through our A5 3.0tdi, bigger single turbo and fuel pump made 240kw atw and 800nm of torque shocks a lot of people :)
What other mods did you have to do to support this new power figures? Also how does the transmission is holding? Are you able to maintain good consumption figures when cruising?
G’Day mate... just wanted to know how the car is going now 2 years later? Are you still running the tune, had any reliability issues? How many k’s has it done in the last 2 years ??? ... thanks Matt
It's a sequencial turbo setup. Basically a compound turbo setup. That's why it looks weird. The turbos are different sizes. One blows thru the other. Helps eliminate low down lag while at the same time having good topend power. Sure u knew that. Just wanted to get that off my chest. Lol.
@@StreetFXofficial i think they are compound turbo's. german diesels always have quite small turbo's so there isn't a lot of turbo lag, and for emission shit..
You can also completely disable the ASC/ESC etc. by holding the Traction Control button in for 5+ seconds. Same as engaging launch control. No need for fuse removal.....
@@StreetFXofficial Can confirm while trying to play in the snow....this does not work. Nanny mode stays on, such a shame... We just finished the tune, pulleys, intake, and TCU tune on the wife's petrol SQ5. They can be a lot of fun!
How are you finding the tune after a few months? I have a 2015 SQ5 here in Brisbane and was weighing up whether to tune it or not. Have you noticed any improvements in economy besides the performance gains? Cheers
@@StreetFXofficial was specifically curious about the device on the dash with the display. What model is it and where do you get it/price? Thanks in advance. Nice car!
haah, why do you throw yourself back in your seat when you launch.. gives it a way when you do it slightly before you launch.. your co driver didn’t move either :))) belter!!!
So your manual shifting on the paddles? I just put my foot down but I need to learn to 'wind it up; like that...Your saying put it in dynamic, esc off, manual shift mode, brake on hard, accelerator flat to the floor, and it will wind up and stop at a set rpm? then just take foot off brake and enjoy? :) Also will it do to full auto mode not manual once it hits the rev limiter on 1st gear takeoff? thanks!
@@grw1618 the above process desribes the Audi Launch control, as long as it's in dynamic or S mode you can leave it in Auto shift also. However you also need to ensure the car is up to standard operating temp. with your foot hard on the brakes put the accelerator on the floor and the revs will build and hold for a few seconds. Release brake. Goodbye
I wonder what is the reliability on SQ5 once they pass 100k kms...anyone have experience on high mileage with SQ5 TDI? Thinking of buying one after this video XD
I’m seriously considering buying a used SQ5. Anywhere from 2014-2016 with as lower KMs as possible. Can anyone answer these questions. 1. Any major problems, aside from general issues associated with age. 2. What other mods aside from the reflash are recommended. Keeping in mind I want to maintain longevity of the vehicle. 3. Do E-tuners still exist and what other tuning/performance workshops are recommended?
I got a low km 2013, love that they don't have adblue. Previous owner flashed it 390hp 933Nm. The 8sp trans is better than the DSG in the Q5, they are known to fail often and happened to a mate, exy. The only mod it has is the software upgrade but it has some nice factory options. Don't really need it to go any faster. 20" rims are less jarring than the 21s. They chew out the back rotors if you drive on radar cruise. MPC(Vic) did the tune
@@StreetFXofficial I don`t say that u should launch at 4k. your launch rpm is good.. But when the car switch gears u should make it shift at 4k rpm so u get the most out of it. cause diesels drop power after 4k
@@StreetFXofficial if u take a look on the diagram of the engine with the tune u got then u will see when is making power and when it drops power. it is different on all diesels. but u should look at the diagram to see when is making all the power to make sure u get every single horsepower :) im not saying this to hate or anything.. Just to help u get better 0-60mph
Yep.. Also a lot of factory cars these days are running crazy boost. Even petrol AMG A45's run something like 26psi to make the power they do from a 2.0L. Crazy times!
It had me baffled as well when I saw the readout 😳 I had to calculate it three times to be sure. Diesel blocks are far stronger due to the way they use compression to ignite, but they have certainly come a long way for making them good for every day, economic and powerful applications.
MPC did mine, 390hp 933Nm according to charts supplied by previous owner. Melbourne Performance Centre. Was talking to a racing driver who said they did all his tunes
Watch kw @3:23 stock 215kw and @6:12 stock 192kw :D nice try guyes.... please send me the tune i will make a better one :D because 720nm are not much for a bitdi, stage 1 normaly this cars can push 850nm with the right settings with all safety functions on, regulated exhaust temp etc....... and the turbo handshake looks terrible too on the dyno run, watch the curves from the tune :D
Drive select doesn’t really do a lot aside from change simulated exhaust noise, gear changes, steering and throttle response. Just changed driver experience but ecu tune doesn’t really change those individual settings. It still has all the different modes.
Pretty cool. 35psi is taking it real easy though, I have my shitty 3.0 4cyl diesel hilux at 40psi with a big single turbo, been running that for 4 years. It makes 205RWKW but 900nm of torque. The diesel pump is maxed out though so that takes my top end away, a new pump should get me to 250rwkw. Looking at getting an SQ5 for my wife, I will be pushing as much boost as the turbos will give.
@@StreetFXofficial I have one in South Africa. Made 218wkw and 630Nm before tune . After tune 254 wkw and 714Nm. My consumption is 6.5l/100 and 9.4 around town with mostly spirited driving
It’s big enough to carry all our race gear, and far more practical than the majority of our cars 😂 Wouldn’t mind a current model cayenne v8t diesel though, but double the price 😬
@@StreetFXofficial did Australia get v12 tdi q7? We had those here in Poland, great car, but insanely pricey to keep it runing. Full brake work alone was near 30k euros (yes that much). I have a nissan murano for haulin shit around, but my main is an infiniti fx50s (and its a bit too small for me, planning to change for a new lx570).
I considered the lx570 as it was the same price as the sq5, but after I drove the Audi I was impressed with its acceleration so just bought it. Already have a prado if I need an off road 4x4. We did get the v12 TDI Q7 but only the older model, and they’re much slower than the current v8 TDI SQ7. Even the SQ5 is faster than the v12. Unsure why they didn’t wind them up more.
Can be flashed back to stock. Most ecus have a “reflash counter” inbuilt, but it is possible a dealer or manufacturer already did a flash update, so that doesn’t necessarily mean it was an aftermarket flash. Either way, if you main concern is warranty, then wait til it’s out before you chase more power. Our Audi is just out of warranty so it makes no difference to that anyway.
Pez, uneducated about what? I cannot have my own opinion on racing engines? Diesel engines are not the best options for a race engine, otherwise AUDI, BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari and so forth would have their top racing models equipped with diesels. The fact that none of them do might be my un-educated guess that diesel are maybe not the greatest performance engines.... great for trucks, boats and trains.... but not for race cars... what’s your take? PS: I am aware that there have been some Le Mans and DTM racers with diesel engines and they also did great winning some stuff. But still remain rare.
@@stefanosavoia9144 The diesel was banned due to being too advantageous with its better fuel economy, and we are not talking about race cars for fucks sake
Feel free to spend $130k, buy a brand new one and post your results of tuning it :) FYI, the new model SQ5 is far slower than the old one. Just sayin 🤷♂️

Just found this. Thanks. I'm looking at one of these now. Love the diesel. Great times both 0-100 and 1/4 mile!
First generation is definitely better than the second on many counts especially the lack of tail pipes and thdd ex awful interior
Apart from the performance and awesome fuel consumption i love the sound of my Sq5 the most.
Great job Mark ! Now for the big single turbo conversion, I wanna see it run 10's 😆

@@StreetFXofficial i think they are compound turbo's. german diesels always have quite small turbo's so there isn't a lot of turbo lag, and for emission shit..
The turbos on this are quite large - if you have a look at the engine bay clip in our video. Probably somewhere close to a GT30 size.

Got one as well with a piggy back tune. Extremely fast for a heavy SUV diesel. Also have a Mercedes glc 350d with a tune and it's doing mid 5's 0-100
Are E-Tuners still in Brisbane? The website doesn't work properly to find out.
Those shifts are fast.
do you have an extra transmission in the back shed?
I wish Audi offered the SQ5 in diesel in the US
Why? A 93 chip here runs 12s! That's 1s quicker from just a simple chip, not a remap!
in the UK the standard BHP for the SQ5 is 345
As a VW Touareg TDI owner (CNRA engine code), I am super impressed with this TDI. Which engine code and how does it differ from my CNRA?
Just don’t say it can beat a Barra, apparently that’s bad for publicity..😂😂
Been beating barra’s all day mate 😂
Ahahahaha
Great vid
How much was the tuning ?
What bixenon bulbs are you using? They look bright and more of the blueish colour.

same here. I have one in Sydney. it already hauls ass but i've found a place here they says it can gain 36hp and 11% torque. It'll only cost me $1500.
Can I have the tune file please? Can't seem to get a decent tune here in the UK
Do you have a tcu tune?

So it is now the same to 100 as a Stinger.
Yep would be pretty much on par. By contrast though the Audi gets ~ 6.8L/100km, something I could only dream of in a TT petrol car 😂
How much does that sort of tune cost?
i have a 2015 SQ5 remapped making 798nm and want it to sound a little throatier... Will a bigger exhaust effect the HP/nm?
How is she running ? Just wondered if the extra torque has put any stress on the engine / turbo etc ? Cheers.

Dynamic mode, esc off, manual shift mode, brake on hard, accelerator flat to floor. Wait for revs to build. Release brake. :)

U know that u can make it go even faster then that time with specific rpm gearshift.. try to gear at 4k next time and see what happens
If you set the launch control rpm too high it will trigger fault codes and limp home. I think 3100 is high enough to be between performance and base.
@@StreetFXofficial I don`t say that u should launch at 4k. your launch rpm is good.. But when the car switch gears u should make it shift at 4k rpm so u get the most out of it. cause diesels drop power after 4k

100-200 kmh?
I wouldn't expect it to be hugely fast at the top end above 180kph as it's quite a large vehicle. The 0-120 is great, after that it's a bit slow.

try a model X P100D .. nearly two seconds quicker to 100kmh and in another world for throttle response
