Could I go to an APR dealer to find out exactly what I have stage wise ? I bought an a5 from a dealership owner . Car runs and drives great however I don’t believe it’s the stage he claimed, which sucks and doesn’t really help me with a base on where to start with further mods. Love the vid🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for the comment, if the car has got APR ECU / DSG software on it then a dealer should be able to plug it in and let you know. If it doesn't, then they won't be able to tell... You could ask them to dyno it, if the output is a lot more than stock then it could be modified!

was the car completely stock or did it had anything extra on it like filter, downpipe etc ? In addition, how much do you charge for such service , cheers !
Thanks for the comment, I believe this car was completely stock. Our performance specialists will be able to explain more with pricing etc. You can contact them by using the info in the description
So just out of curiosity what's the main difference between this and your guys' other video stating only a 60ish hp increase. Both being stage 1 apr and b8.5
Stage 1 is for other wise stock cars, if your car is in good working order and maintained correctly with no running issues it’ll be fine, however if it hasn’t been maintained or has any running issues, these will be highlighted by the increased output
Regal Autosport I’m basically in the same scenario, 13 s5 85k. I guess for an s5 you would consider that somewhat “high mileage” so that’s really my only concern for going stage 1. Haven’t owned my car a full year yet and s5s are really rare where I live (any German car for that matter) so I’m just on the fence about if I should tune it or not given the mileage already on it. If well maintained, generally how long will these cars last?
@@tarnklestime8404 As long as the car has been properly maintained and there are no underlying issues, then tuning shouldn't cause any problems. If you have a pre-existing issue, tuning will likely only highlight the issue.
Could the stage 1 map be setup on dynamic mode on the drive select? So comfort / economy modes are stock power output and swap between maps using the buttons on the centre?
how does the car work with 95 petrol? I'm asking because my S4 is for long journeys, and it can happen that in a petrol station there is no 98 or better fuel. also do the cats go bust due to the engine running leaner (thus hotter exhaust gases)?
Running 95 instead of 98 will result in the knock threshold being lower. This means that when you are running the car it will have higher targets for various different parameters than it should, as the software was designed for 98 RON. If your running at partial load it should be okay, just drive economically.
@@RegalAutosport hey, thank you for answering back! on motorways at cca. 130km/h I'm at around 3000RPM. which is then the min. threshold where the knocking could occur?
Knock threshold refers to the ignition point whereby knock occurs, it’s load and many other variable dependent and impossible to know without having the car here
@@RegalAutosport ok, thanks guys. I really do want to get the tuning, but often on motorways or in isolated places there is only 95 petrol available. obviously I would drive like a grandpa, my objective being not to destroy the engine. and having only 95er petrol is a common occurrence in many places around Europe. M.Petrol filling station in Hungary would be such an example. and they are very common on motorways. perhaps the alternative is to do a very light performance increase, basically getting to something like the stock SQ5 with the same engine (350PS) or not exceeding 400PS.
I have an s5 and want to get it tuned is it something tht can be done wit a handheld turned or does it need to be done with a laptop with proper software and on a dyno
If you're changing software, it's always best to check if the car has any running issues prior to tuning, then after as well as verifying output and other data. So in this case, we'd recommend coming to us!
Providing the car is in good health, kept serviced well and doesn't have any running issues then it should be fine. However, there is always a risk with tuning! If you have a problem, it'll be exposed by increasing the output!
Going to get this done to my S5 tomorrow, so excited!!
NICE! You'll love it
How are you enjoying stage 1? Is it enough or are you dying for stage 2 haha
Price?
Another well done video. Love your content here.
Thank you for watching and your kind words! Great to hear you enjoyed it 🔥
Doing it next friday pumped
Enjoy Josh!! Let us know how it goes :)
Did you guys upgrade the ecu and tcu or is it stock? Is it just a software tune?
This is for ECU + TCU
7.3k rev limit, noiiiiice
Nice one Bruvvaaaa!
Can you guys do 6-speed manual tunes?
JK
But can you guys swap in the torque vectoring diffs? Nobody seems to offer that... anywhere in the world 😮💨
We sure can! Torque vectoring is an electronic aid, it's not something we cater for.
So would you recommend getting the tcu tune aswell? I've heard some people have issues with the tcu
This car didn't need it but a TCU tune which optimises the TCU is always advantageous to the driving experience, especially on tuned cars

Where did you get the TCU B8.5 from?
Couldn’t find it on APR site, could u drop the links for both
It's the DL501 TCU software, hope that helps!

What video is that?
Only 60HP?? 😂
Im thinking about goin stage 1 i have a 13 B8.5 its at 84k should. I only have intake no other mods.
Thanks for the comment! Did you have a question?
@@RegalAutosport Do I need to modify anything before stage1

That is how they generally are, lower output on the lower output modes. Enjoy!
@@RegalAutosport thanks for the reply & info 👍
Can I get this done to my Audi S5 also?
Which S5 do you have?

Sick vid! What is that rear diffuser? I want it for mine haha
Thank you! We do not know what the rear diffusor is, sorry!
@@RegalAutosport No worries!
Looks like the carbon import one maybe?
Carbonimports.ca
I want to ask you something: if you change V-pulley it is necessary to do also the software ??
If you reduce the pulley size you need an ECU remap
@@RegalAutosport thank you for your help
Is it good for the car to push so much out of the car on stage 1?
How do you mean?
How much is the cost for all this??

Will the dsg need software too?
Hey! Thanks for the comment, the 'TCU' means DSG/S-Tronic. So this one had DSG software.
0-60?
Sub 4 seconds
What’s the 0-60 time ?
We did not record this
Does a tune help with mpg on supercharges ?
Probably under 3 sec
Wonder If u could make it rev to 8k without having a piston explode through the hood lol
Only one way to find out, you buy one and we'll take the rev limit off 👻
Thats what a rotary engine is for!
How about a 2010 S5 sportback 3.0T ? is it fine to tune it up to 444 HP with a 11 years old car?
Providing the car is in good health, kept serviced well and doesn't have any running issues then it should be fine. However, there is always a risk with tuning!
If you have a problem, it'll be exposed by increasing the output!
How much i "lose" power without tcu tune?
The rev limit is the stock rev limit, so you'll see whatever output is made at the stock rev limit
What is that engine cover?
Sorry, we do not know!
It is the updated engine cover for cars with the updated 3.0 TFSI engine code CREC
