We are back in the game ;)So happy that you will tune another A5

[@nathanlock2863]

Before the video even started I knew, I just knew it would start with......."Right then"

"Reyt then" being a fellow Barnsley lad 🤣🤣

[@biaggi150]

Could listen to this guy for hours, awesome insights into the craft! Great vid! 👍👍👍

Yes.... I'm currently having a BINGE on these vids..... also one day when I'm "flush" I'll be getting in touch with these good folk.

Lookin' forward to more videos of this. Think you had a wee bit of a passionate rant there Ryan 😅

Love the attention to detail was really interesting to see the boost data on your Vs the other map. Can't wait to see how this series progresses 💪

[@POWERHAUL70006]

i love watching darkside videos one day i hope i’ll be able to take my car to then for some more power

[@MarkVinewood]

That package in a B8 Avant would also be awesome, a sleeper family hauler with actually good economy too.

WOOHOO 2020 off to a great start!! Looking forward to the progress on this!

[@hrob123]

This aged horribly 😂😂😂

[@worldsfirstlol]

Wow! So excited about this project! So close to my CKVC(245) model! I already have the 2872VZK on there, so im especially looking forward to the numbers after you guys get it fitted too.

[@pureoffroad]

Be watching this build very closely got the same engine and box in my c7 A6

[@joewatson4777]

At 49 years old I would never have believed that a diesel car could become the most rapid cars on the road .I have owned A lot and a Skoda fabia or all things has changed my way of thinking. A sorted diesel will eat most expensive cars on the road.

[@elvinrashid1327]

Looking forward to this I own same engine a4 will see how u get on with this one n i probably will come see you're this year sometimes

[@andreasb9724]

I'm SO excited to see what you're going to do in this 2nd A5 project, as i am a CDUC owner as well. Just need to copy 😅. BTW i've sent an inquiry via your website.

[@didjeramauk]

Loving the details in the videos. Nice!

[@subhaanhafeez8898]

If you're going to get rid of the grill can i have it please, I have the exact same car in red as well but mine is black edition and i feel the rs5 grill makes it look a lot better!

[@Zodiam.]

Or just leave it, it looks amazing with the red and as long as there are no RS5 badges on it i dont see why anyone would hate on it.

[@AdamNajak1]

Will be interesting to see if the DPF has been hollowed out or not. Also to see what difference your downpipe makes to it performance wise & also sound wise with your exhaust. Looking forward to the comparison video.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It had been, not much difference!

[@avec4amadman1]

I currently own an Audi A4 S line 2 L TDI... but I used to have a Mondeo ST TDCI. I had it remapped by a place just outside Thetford called Gorse motors, no Rolling Road, didn’t seem to have much knowledge of what they were doing, I say this, as I wanted an EGR delete at the time -and have since read on lots of forums that an EGR delete is not possible on this vehicle, but they assured me they could do it… They “downloaded“ the ECU map, and emailed it to somebody (he didn’t even work on the premises) to write the map for my car… they re-flashed the ECU, within 30 miles the EML was back on… Took it back to them, it got sorted, but, it happened again, took it back to them, with a flashing ECU this time- rather than solid ECU light (which I’ve never seen before) they then re-emailed the map to somebody, re-flashed my ECU, car pulled like a train was really fast, Was very happy, for about three weeks until my car broke down, took it to my local independent garage (really fantastic mechanic who knows his stuff and has been really helpful over the years) heads up Lee at Peter Grubb garage.... turned out I had blown the head gasket and burned a hole through a piston, probably due to overheating....... guess what, due to bad remapping...... so, the point of all this….At least these guys at Darkside developments seem to know what they are doing… Moral of this story, if you are thinking of getting a car remapped do not go anywhere without a rolling road, Who have good knowledge, ...... If they simply download and email your ECU map to some guy to modify it and then flash it back into the car avoid like the fricking plague. I have been burnt and lost a car that I loved -and would never try and do this on a budget again.... remapping and power gains need to be done from somebody who knows what they are doing, I would love to take my Audi to the guys at darkside to sort out a map, but don’t have the cash For that right now…

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Unfortunately this is the case for a lot of people but not everyone posts about their experiences. Hopefully people read your post and take your advise :)

[@alancobbin1310]

That A5 originally came from my neck of the woods ,Scott got his knuckles wrapped lol .decent spec A5 that 👍

[@ryanp6138]

Known ringer? It has a few questionable things we need to fix

[@alancobbin1310]

Ryan P don’t know the car personally but the plate is local to me that’s all ,what’s the hpi say .

[@goshacrimea]

У меня такой же мотор,очень интересно будет посмотреть на продолжение этого проекта, я тоже увеличиваю мощность,по железу кулер и даунпайп прикрутил уже и чуть дунул

[@roverroko306]

Everything you talk about in this video reassures me you’re one of the best VAG diesel tuners out there! I know I want your remap and parts on my A4. But how will I get it tuned by you, I live in Croatia? Last remap I did on my Golf 7 2.0 tdi DSG R line I got a stage one generic remap by Sedox performance. It’s fine! Haven’t had any problems and the car does feel faster but I want something better for my Audi. Unique custom map at least even though I don’t need or want to squeeze the maximum out, I’d be fine with 310, 315 hp, 675, 680 nm . Please tell me there’s a way we can get this done, if I run the Dino and send you the data along with my ECU could you put together a nice custom DS development remap on it and ship it back to me?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We can tune with powergate, email us!

[@alfonsgar]

👍 really want a 3.0 tdi! Was always impressed by the 2.0 tdi platforms. Have you guys ever messed with v8 TDI powered platforms?

[@martyn5333]

Once you get a 3.0 v6 tdi you'll never go back. The power delivery is just awesome. With all that torque it produces too the pick up is phenomenal.

[@IVIRA100]

@@martyn5333 I would love another but had many issues with a 3 litre tdi merc in the past! Dont do enough miles to warrant it! But like you say the power and torque is something else!

@@martyn5333 It goes ok, nothing too mind blowing. At 400 bhp it should really fly.

What is the pressure on the cr rail for this result of 400+?

Interesting stuff 😊👍

[@DanielPachana98]

Wheel name??

[@senr68]

Looking forward to progress on this one. I've got the lesser powered 201bhp CDAA lump in my 2013 A6 Allroad... Is the turbo from the 245 CDUC a straight swap? I'd like to do the swap then bring it to you guys to map up correctly.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Pretty sure it is a direct fit, email and we can check.

[@TheManmoths]

Great vid! Would you expect similar gains from a 335d (e91) I currently have a JBD but I’ve been looking at proper remapping really.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes, maybe a little more with the 335D, but the BiTurbo setups can have a lot of issues as there are various valves, solenoids and actuators that start to fail over time Thanks

[@fastboatster]

Beautiful color, it's not a wrap, is it? The interior also seems to be really nice. Curious though, why buy another b8 a5? Is it because the later one has a better engine and has most of the transmission kinks worked out?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Not a wrap. We felt we had not finished what we started but this one is not plain sailing either!

[@fastboatster]

@@DarksideDevelopments would be nice to see the progress, shame there are no tdi b8 audis in the NAR

[@nickyogorman1590]

Any bmw m47 tuning videos ? Great work by the way !!

Quick question for you Ryan, have you tuned any 1.6tdi engines? I have a Volkswagen Passat 1.6tdi blue motion 2012 101bhp I wanting more POWER as Clarkson would say 🤣 thanks 🙂

I've got a 2.0 tdi 177bhp a4 I'm thinking of bring it to you guys Realistically with minimal mods what do you think it can run safely and reliably?...would make a good video

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It all depends on budget!

[@willgillott1763]

does this a5 have wheel spacers on ? if so, what size? thanks

[@DarksideDevelopments]

No spacers

[@andrewhardie6267]

Is 300bhp realistic on a 2009 3.0tdi with standard turbo, air filter and exhaust ?

[@RealGX]

320bhp is the max you will get from stock turbo.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

300hp is not hard to get depending on dyno!

Ryan I'm looking to swap out the 335d {2007} out this year, Im wanting 4-500ish bhp sleepr but it has to be as near adamn it 100% reliable {my bird drives it mainly} what would you recommend? cheers

Stick with a newer 335d just had a stage one remap with a ew intercooler to keep the temps lower to 419.5 and 764 Nm torque at 2200rpm

If its just a map you want get a Bi-TDI A7 A7 or SQ5 or 335d X-Drive.

@@JackTheLad10 These will have the cheapest upgrade path and the most reliable just sticking with a remap. If you want to modify the car, the 330/430D can do 400bhp and same with the single turbo 3.0 TDI Audi's but you'd be looking at turbo upgrades etc.
