    For those considering stage 2: do stage 1 first, and enjoy the gains from that for a while. Then do stage 2 (different pully on the supercharger), and while the number gain may not look like much, the added torque through the whole rev range makes it feel like a large gain again.

    I did the REVO stage 1 upgrade on my TFSI 3.0 and I am amazed by the power gains. I know the fuel is a little bit juicier in this country (UK) than in the USA but 438hp at the wheels I did not expect. I put RS 4 20" stock wheels on and shod them with Bridgestone's. 330mm diameter discs up front with 6 pots. Milltech exhaust and that's it. The car now has very few peers on the road. As it's a Cabriolet the handling at speed is a little bit of a handful but HEY who cares. As with KevG I didn't put it on the rolling road before the changes which I regret but I did a before and after test with the stock and the new exhaust. 5hp less was the result. Go figure. They tell me that a stage 2 may affect reliability so bollocks to that. Anywho @ nearly £7k for everything, it's not cheap. Would I do it again? maybe, it would depend if I had 7 spare.

      A lot of them have modules where you can flash it yourself. That way you can change it back without spending the $$ for the tune shop to do it. It doesn't take anything special, just have your car on a battery tender so you don't brick you ECU.

My car was still shifting at the stock redline so I adjusted some trans setting to take advantage of the 7200 rpm redline. I revved the engine in neutral and I swear the tach went to 7500. After that I got a 2 fault code for the timing. I think the chain jumped or stretched.

If you're going to do the install yourself, get the tune loaded, then add the pulley after not the other way around. If not, your car will run very rough and cause problems that will end up expensive. Source: Q5 3.0t owner going stage 2 with single pulley.

    • @Todd.T
      @Todd.T 3 года назад +1

      Stage 2 is different than Stage 2 dual pulley. Stage 1 is software only. Stage 2 is single or dual pulley with software. If you run Stage 1 or Stage 2 Single pulley the horsepower gains are higher up top. This means the car pulls harder the faster you rev but... the stock TCU that controls the transmission wants to shift early because it doesn't know the ECU was modified.
      It is essential to have a TCU tune, which is another cost, to get up to that RPM where there is horsepower still, otherwise you are missing out.
      Stage 2 Dual Pulley is a different animal, focus on the word animal. Stage 2 dual pulley turns the 3.0 into a torque monster. It moves the torque and horsepower down lower. Blip the throttle at low RPMs and expect to be slammed into the seat and the traction control to light up. The horsepower is still up top and you can benefit from a TCU tune, but there is so much down low and on average I don't see how a Stage one with a TCU tune is going to keep up.
      Then your heat exchanger should be upgraded. To be fair to all the ECU tuners the stock tune could use a heat exchanger upgrade anyway. If you don't, you are limited to about 1 time through the gears at full throttle before the car pulls timing and bleeds boost to save the engine. So if you do a spirited run, you'll need a highway cooldown session. If it a filthy hot day, there is no joy to be had until the evening.
      I'm Stage 2 dual pulley 93 octane with no heat exchanger upgrade but the temperature here is going to be freezing or near freezing for the next 2 months and then I'm going to get the heat exchanger. It won't help now and even though there isn't really snow on the road the car tries to drift corners and lights up the traction control from spinning it's tires.
      Heat exchanger next. Then TCU tune. Then maybe Stage 2+...

    • @Todd.T
      @Todd.T 2 года назад

      @@antoinemarous7308 Around 460 HP and 426 TQ. Since I typed the above, I have added the new heat exchanger, added the TCU tune so that I can get maximum power, and I also added performance ignition coils. In the world of street light to street light, the Stage 2 dual pulley dominates. A lot of folks may be tempted to look at the 477 hp rating on the Stage 2 single pulley and assume that will be faster, but if that were true the Stage 2 dual pulley wouldn't be an option.
      Another factor is which engine would one be running. If you run a 2011 to 2015 A6 or any S4 you would have a CREA engine with 6 injectors and a SIMOS 8 computer. I run a 2016 with a CREC with 12 injectors, a clutch on the supercharger and a SIMOS 16 computer. The SIMOS 16 has less memory and is difficult to flash at home. The SIMOS 16 doesn't usually have support for E85 fuel either.
      On a SIMOS 8 computer you can get a Stage 2 Single pulley file that runs E85 from a tuner and the car is good for high 11s in the quarter. A lot of people crap on the CREC SIMOS 16 tunes from APR because they cost more and are not flashable from home.
      The fact is, whether by magic or luck, it looks like the few people with the APR dual pulley 93 octane file on a CREC SIMOS 16 are not an easy target.
      My next move is a new intake system. And then the track. I will have a bit more potential than this guy, but I would be happy to be within 2 tenths of him on the slow side:

      NA engines are more fun, more reliable just better in general only thing you can't do with them is 'tune' you need turbo/super charging for that, as the tune is only messing with the fuel maps and pressures. With naturaly aspirated engine you cant mess with the maps too much, you will be maybe able to get few ponies out of your car but for which price.
      It will simply not work out, check brand name tuners if they are offering a chip tune for your NA engine, usually they will not.
      The best thing you can do with the NA engine intake / exhaust tune, it may improve the throttle response and sound, with your V8 maybe few ponies, but nothing significant. If you have a DSG get a tune for it, it will shift faster and rev higher, also DSG clutch setup will do quite a lot if you have a higher mileage car.
      If you have big budget you can put turbos on your V8, that will add a lot, but you will lose what are usually people buying this cars for. Lot of people here in EU is not buying the new TFSI S5 but rather the old V8 FSI and after they do facelift so they have the newer great looking car with the V8, with proper exhaust and intake you have a muscle car :) especially in that coupe body it looks great and its really a EU muscle :)
