SQ5 034 STAGE 1

in this week's video, we'll be going over why we love the SQ5, and improving upon it's power and speed with a tune from 034 motorsports.

[@keithedwards743]

I own a 2017 SQ5 so the 034 tune improvement looks awesome! Thanks for sharing👍🏻

[@BrunerTuner]

It totally transformed the car!

[@supercarmio]

dude that thing is sick! definitely my favorite vehicle in that class. rolling shots were sweeet too!

[@BrunerTuner]

Thanks man! It means a lot coming from you!

[@thatdirtlife]

i just got this tune for my c7 A6 and it completely transformed the vehicle, it’s pretty amazing

[@BrunerTuner]

Oh yeah we love this tune!

[@thatdirtlife]

@@BrunerTuner i really need to get the tcu tune so i can shift at 7400, finally have launch control too on the zf8

[@S58_Jay]

Nice work dude can’t wait to see what’s in store for it 👀

[@BrunerTuner]

Thanks bro! I appreciate the love!

[@slow8r]

+1 for proper pronunciation of Zero Three Four. 😎👌

[@BrunerTuner]

Hahaha absolutely!

[@t-jh4236]

I have a 2015 Monsoon Grey SQ5. Have you heard or know of anyone with an APR ecu tune? Just curious about their experience.

[@matthews6216]

wi-fi works perfectly for me. Seems you need to tune your Wi-Fi as well LOL I'm on 034 ECU/TCU to much bs dealing with another tuner for the trans so I use 034 for both.

[@lou4nysq510]

Nice

[@rafaelbatu7525]

wow! awesome times! looks like youre also not in amax launch mode when doing the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Next time before launching push the esp button and then pull down on the shifter to put it in S and go from there!

[@BrunerTuner]

Yeah I forgot to disable ESP. I'll get some before and after times with the HP tuner TCU tune

[@Scallejas]

so it says there you have AWE downpipes, now did you install those with the flash tune or they were there before.

[@BrunerTuner]

I had the downpipes before. They are really a resonator delete pipe. The 3.0 SC has the cats between the manifold and the downpipes. My car still has the catalytic converters.

[@bozacksmith]

what did the downpipes require? Pipe cut and weld in? Good vid

[@BrunerTuner]

Downpipes are an easy bolt in. no cutting required.

[@bozacksmith]

@@BrunerTuner good to know, might have to dig into those as a mod

[@thomasnicholson7498]

Great video. I have a B8.5 SQ5 as well, and I am planning to make it stage 1. Seems like 034 is the way to go. Some forums are saying to hook up the battery to a trickle charger while doing the flash. Did you have to do that?

[@BrunerTuner]

I did not, but I would HIGHLY recommend it. Your battery will drain at an astounding rate while flashing.

[@thomasnicholson7498]

@@BrunerTuner Thanks! Any recommendations on a good trickle charger to use?

[@RageCage1701]

It's totally unnecessary to do this as long as you have a good battery (so e.g., you aren't dealing with a 7 year old battery on its last legs). It's just a CYA thing they have to say for the 1 out of 1,000 people whose battery can't handle the car running for 20 minutes without being on.

[@BrunerTuner]

@@thomasnicholson7498 the brand "Battery Tender" is pretty common. Pretty literal on the name haha

[@Lennox1492]

I have this same suv but i have the premium plus sline …. Its so strange to see the white needle gauges instead of the red ones like i have in mine. I really like the white needles and wish i could easily swap mine out

[@BrunerTuner]

I do love the white gauges

[@t-jh4236]

Pretty sure the SQ5 does not come with the S Line trim. Redundant considering the SQ5 already has the sporty extras.

[@arsenone8583]

0-120 in 14.8 on a fucking fridge, slicing through he air... that’s impressive.

[@BrunerTuner]

Hahaha yeah man I know! With the trans tune it even quicker!

[@t-jh4236]

Lol come on now. These have curves :)

[@rowdytitan]

Nice man! Been considering trading my B9 A4 for an SQ5. Are you in the San Antonio area?

[@BrunerTuner]

I'm up in DFW actually. I picked this up at Audi North Park though.

[@gregsmith9892]

@@BrunerTuner I picked mine up at North park as well. Sepang Blue back in dec of 2020. Your video pushing me towards 034 and even the TCU tune.

[@BrunerTuner]

I went with Berk for my trans tune. It's awesome!!!

[@chadgillespie1266]

Did you change the stock air filter too? Completely stock air box + 034 back tube doesn't sound like that.

[@BrunerTuner]

This is 034 intake tube, stock airbox, pod filter and I drilled out one of the lower ports

[@chadgillespie1266]

@@BrunerTuner Ah makes sense. Thanks!

[@BrunerTuner]

No problem!

[@curtishill5172]

Ok how do I get this flash tune thing for my sq5

[@BrunerTuner]

034 Motorsports website can get you setup!

[@JarrettDooley]

Need that TCU tune! I'm assuming you're on the 93 octane tune?

[@BrunerTuner]

I'm working with Berk to get a trans tune done!

[@JarrettDooley]

@@BrunerTuner great video, love my SQ5 tuned with 034 (on the beta tcu also)

[@BrunerTuner]

@@JarrettDooley yeah I absolutely love this car. Super undervalued for what you get

[@workhardgainbig6784]

How many HP did it add?

[@BrunerTuner]

It's supposed to add about 100 HP

[@wyattwalker3868]

Thought about tuning 19 sq5 but it already did 395 on the dyno

[@BrunerTuner]

Completely stock?

[@t-jh4236]

It's not doing that stock.

[@wyattwalker3868]

@@t-jh4236 it is, don't believe what audi writes on the sticker

[@tystraight723]

The website says it makes it not street legal is that true?

[@BrunerTuner]

I guess it depends where you live.

[@t-jh4236]

No biggie just re-flash/undo it before your inspection.

[@azzy2884]

Is this a diesel?

[@BrunerTuner]

No this is normal gasoline

[@brus3460]

Did you end up lowering the SQ5?

[@BrunerTuner]

Not yet! That is a future project for sure

[@brus3460]

@@BrunerTuner I just got a 2017 SQ5 and am considering lowering it. I'm between going cheap and installing lowering springs or installing new coilovers. Tough decision. I think I'll end up going with coilovers so I don't lose the comfort of the SQ5. I've heard lowering springs make it way too bouncy or stiff.

[@BrunerTuner]

If you spent the money on a vehicle like the SQ5, I would DEFINITELY recommend a full coilovers setup.

[@brus3460]

@@BrunerTuner exactly my thought process

[@MrChans_S3]

Ahh your faster then my s3 haha

[@BrunerTuner]

BOIIIII! Not for long!

[@tystraight723]

Also does stage 2+ add more hp

[@BrunerTuner]

Absolutely. It requires a smaller upper pulley and an upgraded high pressure fuel pump.
