You’re the only one on KZbin that showed a launch or pull. Thank you for his. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Yungdieseltv]

Thanks 🙏🏽 there’s more to come just got some things to take of.

[@jeffgrenier9085]

I have a b8.5 a4 ecs tunning Fmic and hard piping. Way better than stock if you're looking to do it. Also go fast bits divertor valve kit improved boosting. My next step is stage 2 IE tune.

hey man, Ive got a 2014 audi A4 S line Quattro. Im running the 93 octane stage 2 crackle tune. I currently have my car equipped with the IE intake, IE Downpipe/midpipe, IE PCV/Catchcan kit. I was heat soaking like mad doing pulls, car got significantly slower after 3 runs, however those 3 runs I was able to pull 350HP and 400 TQ on the data logger function for the laptop when I ran a 25% E85 mix. I ordered the IE Intercooler yesterday but they're out of stock, I'm on back order... Up here in Canada homie, I'm most likely waiting months for one...

[@Yungdieseltv]

Nice numbers on a stock turbo but yeah that heat soak will getcha without the intercooler whenever i try to get buy mine something else always needs to b replaced but mine is coming soon any plans on taking it to the track

[@xxSwiinkxx]

@@Yungdieseltv replaced turbo and turbo manifold with the IHI setup from turboparts Canada, its better than OE thats how you're able to get more out of the same motor. Yes I have full plans on tracking the car, just need some slotted and drilled rotors, bigger ceramics were not good enough. this spring, Maybe I will start youtube lol

[@Yungdieseltv]

Yeah i plan on going K04 and IE manifold and CAI only thing is mine is auto so maybe looking into manual swap or stick A4 or A5

[@xxSwiinkxx]

@@Yungdieseltv k04 isn't worth the money over the power you get from a full stage 2. cars more reliable non ko4 anyway

[@Yungdieseltv]

I figure it would be reliable since its from the stock S3 but I’ll do my research thnx for the heads up

[@colbycarr3574]

Good shit I’m about to install my intercooler and a high flow cat this month then probably go stage 2 after that not sure if I should do the crackle tune tho🤔

[@Yungdieseltv]

Nice but i didn’t do the crackle tune bcuz its still my daily and don’t wanna hear the pops all the time but u can always test it out n then take it off u want that’s the good part of tuning at home

[@Rb__boat]

Wicked video bro what do you mean by heatsoak issue does the stage 2 have issues ?

[@Yungdieseltv]

Well without a larger intercooler for proper cooling if your constantly doing back to back pulls w/o letting the engine cool 1st the engine starts getting a lil too hot air intake temp gets too high then you lose some power and eventually you can destroy your engine especially if it’s hot outside. But driving the car normal is fine.

[@Rb__boat]

@@Yungdieseltv ah okay so doing the tune without upgrading the intercooler is fine as long as your not flogging it constantly and eventually get the upgraded intercooler, would love to see you do a tutorial/install video on the upgraded intercooler when you get it !! Thanks bro another awesome video

[@Yungdieseltv]

Exactly and yeah when i get the intercooler i’ll try to do the vid thanks for watching having people watch and comment gives me the motivation to do more vids even if its a few people

[@Rb__boat]

@@Yungdieseltv that would be awesome amd for sure bro im watching all the way from Australia amd I love your videos and learning too thanks bro

[@fawzihechmi4319]

Hello I will ant to do same bro Do I need to change the dpf to a straight pipe ? Or do I need another type of dpf Thanks

[@Yungdieseltv]

If you go stage 2 you have to replace the catalytic converter to hfc and downpipe or you can do full downpipe to erase the check engine light you can go stage 1 without the changing catalytic converter

[@MrGWAMPO]

awesome bro! more A4 videos!! when's that intercooler video dropping?

[@Yungdieseltv]

Honestly don’t know yet

[@michaelmasseyy]

You don’t need the intercooler tbh man. Your not racing it on a track so it’s not necessary. The car will be just fine without it.

[@Yungdieseltv]

Thanks for watching and yeah i spoke to ECS Tuning and they said as long as I’m not doing back to back pulls constantly the car will be ok but I like to drive my cars hard sometimes and would actually like to do autocross.

[@davidrubio9906]

Hey men do all this weird light appear in your dash after driving for days

[@Yungdieseltv]

Only light that comes on is the light when i turn the fog light on bcuz i have led lights in there.

[@sekhon6o4]

I’m thinking of doing this to my b8 a4 too but I didn’t want to upgrade the inter cooler. Do you think I need the intercooler?

[@Yungdieseltv]

I would recommend it the heat soak is crazy. I saw a video where the guy used an intercooler from an A6 3.0 because they’re bigger and cheaper than the stock A4. Not sure it would be enough so do your research

[@stoyan2147]

Did you do eny mods to the engine, except the cat delete

[@Yungdieseltv]

Only other mods i did was cold air intake and GFB diverter valve but that was after the tune

[@kevinragnauth5574]

Was a jumper pack enough to maintain the battery or did you need a actually battery charger?

[@Yungdieseltv]

Yes it works just fine

[@TheDJAY95]

You running stock catalytic but gutted and stock exhaust? Just wondering if its good for long term to run with the gutted catalytic

[@Yungdieseltv]

Well i got an aftermarket cat and gutted it out still have the original cat just in case i wanted to go back to stock and its been fine no CEL bcuz the tune clears the code. Thanks for watching

[@samwh4775]

Hey did you plug a battery charger while installing the tune ??😅

[@Yungdieseltv]

Yes I did and you should bcuz you can brick the ecu if the battery dies.

[@justinl5123]

So what do you need to have for bolt ons

[@Yungdieseltv]

You need high flow cat, downpipe and aftermarket intercooler but I’ve also heard you can use the intercooler from a 3.0 bcuz its bigger than the stock 2.0. Also cold air intake and exhaust would also help.

[@quackattack2002]

Hey so I have an A5 in manual, do you have to upgrade the clutch? Also do you have an approximate before and after 0-60 time? Thank you!

[@Yungdieseltv]

Yes you should upgrade the clutch n i don’t have 0-60 times but you can get a dragy performance meter and it will give you the times

[@gameplaybenchmarks3294]

seems like this only works on a certain type of vehicle! Does it work for any car?

[@Yungdieseltv]

Well integrated Engineering tunes are for VW and Audi models ECS Tuning has more tunes for other German models if you have a German vehicle hope I helped thanks for watching

[@crookedworks3248]

So I have all the parts and hardware to go stage 2. Should I skip stage 1 and go right to 2?

[@Yungdieseltv]

Yeah it would be better since u have all the parts + u won’t get a CEL if u go stage one you will just have to pay $$ again to go stage 2 and if you have manual transmission you have to upgrade the clutch

[@nenzi1669]

How much was the tune? How noticeably was the power?

[@Yungdieseltv]

The tune and the cable was $650 the cable by itself is $150 and yeah you can feel the difference it has good low end torque.

[@nizam03]

Hey man, just one more thing. Did your check engine light come on eventually for the emissions after the stage 2 flash?

No it didn’t bcuz if you have a gutted cat or hfc its more air flow so the tune accounts for that and adjusts the ecu

[@Yungdieseltv]

@@saraytinoco6291 well anytime your doing power upgrades the key thing is to do maintenance 1st. Change any weak parts that need to be changed bcuz adding more power will make them break even faster. Cars become less reliable when you’re adding big power on stock parts. Another thing to look for is adding more power to turbo cars you might get more oil consumption so that’s something to watch out for

When you upgrade the cat you have to upgrade to Stage 2 to erase the check engine light. Once you go stage 2 upgrade the intercooler bcuz it keeps the air intake temps down if you’re constantly racing the car.
