Can't Wait to see more. 034 New wireless dongle is pretty sweet looking.

[@Dillon000]

@ 7:40 loved the edit there 🤣👍

[@IMPORTEKNIKA]

Raudi RS5! Damn right it is. 😂

[@u093154]

Looking to do this asap. I have a B9 s5 with intake and awe cat back exhaust. I love this tune that it maximizes the burbles and pops ! Have you been able to run individual mode with engine sound loud and engine in comfort? For daily driving I usually will have that configuration, would love to have burbles and pops without always being in dynamic for daily driving

[@u093154]

What battery tender did you use?

[@patrykbalon3579]

I have the same car and tune and for some reason it won’t give me the option for crackle overrun, how did it pop up for you?

[@burntorange3]

Soooo close to going with 034 Stage 1 tune for my B9 S4

[@Vaguh]

You have some great options with tunes for the S4. Do it and don’t look back. Email me at [e-mail] if you have questions.

[@petejr7583]

Dude, VPS res delete kit for mega snap, crackle and pop!

[@Need4Built]

All she needs now is 034’s catalog of stiffening components and other bolt on’s to maximize performance! 🏎️ maybe some E85 and a hpfp as well

[@Vaguh]

Man, you’re quick, we just made this one private because the video is blown out. We’re re uploading.

[@teamramey]

With driving the RS5 and S5 back to back how do they compare?

[@Vaguh]

@@teamramey my S5 is faster, but the RS5 has a bit more torque readily available at lower rpm’s. I’ve done a bunch of chassis mods and upgrades to the S5, so it handles really similar to the RS5. It’s on the 034 dynamic springs and isn’t as harsh as the RS5 on the street, but the springs are progressive and really tighten up when pushed. Both cars are great. RS5 is an RS so, more specialness.

[@pjbaymiller9574]

Curious how much the TCU helps with shifting smoothness? The number one complaint I have about my B9 RS5 is the jolty downshifts.

[@Vaguh]

It helps quite a bit. However your up shifts will be more jolty under full acceleration. But in a good way.

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

hey, I just bought 034. i'm currently tuned on i.e. Do you know if I have to flashback to stock before I flash over? I know you've done a lot of this. thanks

[@Vaguh]

I recommend flashing back to stock first. Technically you don’t have to, but just in case. Let me know what you think. Also make sure you have a battery tender.

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

@@Vaguh i just flashed the 034 and only went for a quick test ride. but i love it. in manual mode the gear changes are so hard!! and it dosent kick down to first until you stop. like stock. i much preffer that. but so far I'm so happy!!!!

[@hypnotico7051]

What made you decide to switch to 034 over IE?

[@Vaguh]

@@hypnotico7051 this particular car is an RS5 and we’re building it up with 034 parts as we do.

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

@@hypnotico7051 after watching tons of hours of content. it seems 034 puts more of an emphasis on safety. And when I first got my IE tune I had an issue with the revel limiter. It took four weeks for them to answer my email. 034 seems to answer their emails and social media within 24 hours. Plus I plan on going stage three and 034 has high and low torque maps so you don't have to drive around on kill mode all the time.

[@midlifemods]

Is thumb bandaid required?

[@Vaguh]

lol. It’s a RFID security tag, so your friends can’t connect to your car and flash the stock tune when you aren’t looking. 🤣

[@midlifemods]

Perfect! 😂

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

wish i lived near a you tuber iv got a ton of parts to install on my b9.5 s4. it would be nice to have help. im in CT

[@Vaguh]

Start your own channel and buddy up to a local shop. We’ll help get your name out there!

[@jimtraugermd]

You can figure everything out watching these guys’ videos. Two yeas ago I had never changed the oil on a car. Now in 2 1/2 years I’ve never taken my car for service. My S5 is IE stage 3+ with most of 034’s catalog added on. Just watch videos, read the instructions and do it.

[@Vaguh]

@@jimtraugermd that’s freaking awesome to hear! Appreciate the kind words, let us know what you want to see next!

[@jimmytran1870]

Do you recommend 034 or IE for RS5

[@Vaguh]

We haven’t tried the IE tune on an RS5 yet but the 034Motorsport tune is good. I’ve been in their dev car and a couple stage 1 RS5s and they rip!

[@jimmytran1870]

@@Vaguh thanks

[@sandersonjd776]

Tacoma here! Where are you guys?

[@Vaguh]

We’re up near Kirkland.

[@jonathancuevas5650]

Upgraded the s5 ?

[@Vaguh]

I mean I’ve upgraded it to stage 3, but this RS5 is a local friends car.

[@jonathancuevas5650]

I sold my s5 and upgraded to the rs5 I regret the money I lost doing that but also I love the rs5 and suggestions on doing to it ?

[@Vaguh]

@@jonathancuevas5650 definitely get a tune and some inlets on it.

[@nismops]

What battery tender are you using or recommend?

[@Vaguh]

I think it’s a Duralast, picked it up at autozone.

[@petejr7583]

Lag? She must be talking about the throttle mapping change. There’s no turbo lag in my stock RS5, but throttle to throttle body reaction could be better. A Sprint Booster can really help there, for $300.

A woman driving fast gives me the fear.
