034 Motorsport Stage 1 Tune For My B9 Audi S4!

[@KevG]

Sheeeeeesh, what a crazy before and after. Even with bad conditions we ran much quicker times. I’m looking forward to getting some dry runs in soon!

[@andytran-ry7yc]

you think IE stage 1 is faster than 034 stage 1? on 91 octane for both

[@S5MIKEY]

@@andytran-ry7ycdude dont ever go near IE, unreliable and worse times

[@bruceleroy849]

So glad I went with 23’ S4 lol now I’m getting closer to doing this tune

[@WhiteS4NL]

I have the S4 B9 Avant. Stock: 354bhp. 4.6 0-100km Stage 1: 435bhp. 3.9 0-100km Running stage 1 from JD Engineering over 1.5 year now without any issues. First thing i did was buy a dragy haha. Amazing car and still keeps me smiling every day 🎉

[@KevG]

Awesome to hear. Love the avants

[@jcass1970]

I had been running a chipwerke piggyback on my c7 a6, and just went to an 034 stage 1 about a month ago. I liked my chipwerke, but going to stage 1 was like night and day. Love it.

[@KevG]

It’s a must. Love the C7 also. Can’t beat the supercharger whine

[@boerieza]

Driving a 3.0T supercharged SQ5, I love these new 3.0T turbocharged engines. There's soooo much potential. It's a tough choice between a new >2020 3.0T and an RS3 with that iconic 5 cylinder. Nice one dude.

[@KevG]

@@boerieza both such great platforms. Tons of potential either way you go! Really depends on what size car you’re looking at

[@M22detailing]

Crazy how much of a difference stage 1 makes. Can’t wait to keep modding this thing.

[@KevG]

Heck yeah huge improvement🤙🏼

[@The.JZA.]

How is the transmission tune? I find the stock transmission to be pretty good except when taking off from a standstill when it hasn't locked up the torque converter yet. Does the tune help that?

[@dopeboypeaty]

Definitely getting my tune next week or two for my B9 s4 😮

[@KevG]

Awesome! You’ll love it. Such a big difference from stock on this platform

[@dopeboypeaty]

@@KevG for sure i already love it i have AWe exhaust an intake an it goes nuts but with this tune plus CTS downpipe for sure going to be a mini 🐈 😂 appreciate the video

[@AndreMTM]

Huge improvement! Can’t wait to get this done to my s5. Also, If your friend is looking to sell the rotor wheels off his s5, lmk! I’m in metro detroit and searching for b9 rotors

[@KevG]

I actually may sell mine! He uses his for the winter. Looking for 19’s or 20’s?

[@AndreMTM]

I’m looking for 20’s with s5 fitment (lower offset), but also considering 19’s. What wheels are you looking to sell?

[@KevG]

@@AndreMTM I have the same exact rotors but 19’s

[@zdream720]

@@KevG how much? willing to ship?

[@KevG]

@@zdream720 I don’t think shipping would be worth it tbh! Heavy and take up a lot of space.. if you want to pickup, I’m in Michigan. Feel free to DM me on Instagram @s4_kevg

[@NJmike07]

Thanks for this dude. Just did all the perforce frame inserts. Wagner IC next then I flash like you. I also will add 20 in. summer tires when it's warmer.

[@germainemonroy9801]

Should you have battery tender plugged in

[@dylandalka8700]

1:36 where did he get that spoiler? I want one for my b8.5 but can’t find that style in gloss black

[@holycycle]

do you only need the stage 1 ecu/tcu to have the two step?

[@getajob2667]

Do you have the b+o sound system ? Didn't look like you did. How does it sound ? Looking at an s4 that doesn't have the b+0 sound system. Thanks in advance

[@Streetpissa]

Amazing video

[@KevG]

Thank you! Before and after is nuts

[@manualmafia6015]

Does COBB offer anything for these cars? I was happy with the stage 1 tune + accessport on my old WRX

[@KevG]

I’m actually not sure about COBB’s Audi offerings. I do enjoy a good corn on the cob though🌽

[@nigels6786]

Would this tune work for C8 A6? Only thing is that it doesnt have the 8speed its the 7speed

[@u093154]

If I have an intake and cat back exhaust system, not planning to change an intercooler should I still go with stage 1 for ECU and TCU? Also their website is quite confusing with stage1 + don’t quite know what that means

[@harisjaved1379]

Wow that’s nice! I was thinking about buying a m340i but might just get an s4 and tune it.

[@KevG]

Both great platforms. Honestly I’ve just gotten used to the Quattro and ripping this car in the winter, but the 340 is available is RWD and AWD so that’s a nice plus. Lots of power potential for either!

[@worldtravel101]

I was torn as well but I found a better deal on a 23 S4. I'm looking forward to doing this tune soon!

[@MsWillits]

How is the throttle response in D compared to stock? The stock tune in D have this "time based" throttle response and it is quite horrible compared to S, but S keeps gears for too long for normal driving :/

[@DMCarReviews]

What time you mean by "time based"?

[@richromario]

How’s the mpg after a while on 93

[@tomaszuccato9222]

Does this void warranty

[@ba-habrundigs9783]

Yes

[@christiann.1348]

I'm trying to move on from subaru and find a b8/8.5 s4/s5 right now and people either want ridiculous money for what they have or they're trashed, hate this market haha

[@KevG]

Right! Hopefully coming down soon. The supercharged V6 is such a good platform. Hope you find something🤘🏼

[@christiann.1348]

@@KevG thank you! Yeah the market is starting to come back so hopefully the next couple months have something solid. Have a few friends on that platform and it seems like a great one to be in for the price point!

[@Blacked2SS]

What tune and set up would u recommend for a Audi A5 2018 coupe

[@SapphireSweed]

was very happy with IE stage 1 tune with our old A4 (same 2.0T engine as A5) Huge torque increase!

[@Aliastaylor]

Dude what kind of wheels ? And size name all mods ?

[@midlifemods]

Welcome to stage 1!

[@KevG]

Loving it🤘🏼

[@jonchrzanowski725]

Having owned both the S4 and the S5, do you have a preference? I've been pondering picking one of these up used for a fun daily driver that's fairly quick. I don't want to make "all the power," and I'm not huge on the burbles. I have heard some that I did like. However, most seem obnoxious. With all this being said, I've also only ever owned Toyota trucks. Any advice is appreciated, and you've earned my sub.

[@KevG]

Thanks for the sub! With most tunes, you can filter the burbles with individual mode in the drive select. That’s what I’m doing now and it seems normal. Best of luck with the search!

[@MattCalver-zz3rp]

im struggling between getting a 2018 audi s4 or a 2018 BMW m240i drive. I need advice on which way I should go for reliability and performance

[@12tribes61]

Audi more bang for your buck plus it’s a 4door. Just got an S4 2018 30k miles can’t wait for the 034 tune.

[@xsswuix8336]

@@12tribes61ima bout to get one too how’s it been so far and how the tune?

[@12tribes61]

@@xsswuix8336 haven’t got the tune yet the car is nice and has power. I’m finding the stock gear tune is awful. It will want to go into gear 7 when doing like 50mph. So tcu tune desperately needed. Other than that it’s a perky car im driving using paddle shift gears mainly until get tune.

[@TheChadls]

Can this be done to a 2014 s4 manual 6 speed?

[@Dance1617]

Yes, lots of options for the B8 s4

[@Dance1617]

But it's a supercharger, more power less torque, but power is instant vs a turbo builds.

[@sp1081]

Nice... do you have any other mods? Air intake?

[@KevG]

Intake is being installed in the next week or so! Plenty of things planned and mods in the mail

[@jeff259259]

Can’t remember which video… Did you have a turbo blanket on one of your cars? Recommend it?

[@carramrod8232]

Need an intercooler upgrade. The stock one is so small prone to heat soak.

[@KevG]

@@carramrod8232 agreed! We just did the AWE coldfront intercooler on the B9 S5. Huge difference

Yes dynamic mode, traction control off, brake& gas, release brake

Yep just did what I did in the video and it was totally fine. Only took about 7 minutes to flash ECU and 1 minute for the transmission

Sell it and get an S4…because even with the tune….your A4 will still be slower than my stock S4 😂

[@gehlati]

what do u need for stage 1 and what do u need for stage 2?

Nothing for stage 1. Intake is recommended though. Stage 2 you need downpipe, intake, intercooler

@@KevG do u need anything for stage 2 tcu?

Is it stock but just tuned to stage one?

At this point yes that’s correct

None! Stage 1 doesn’t have any requirements for supporting mods. I’ll be adding an intake soon!

[@jamesdare8584]

Did 034 give you a script, or did you improv?

[@KevG]

All candid improv and reaction man!

[@SailingIndependence]

I'm guessing this would void a new car warranty?

[@Vicfromnewyork]

Whos going to tell them? You?🤔

[@SailingIndependence]

@victor perez Now I'm just guessing here.. but if you blow up your engine, they're likely going to look at the ECU settings to see if they are stock.. don't you think?

[@SailingIndependence]

@victor perez and the only reason I ask is to know if I should either only buy a used, out of warranty car to do this to, or buy new and maybe just wait to end of warranty to flash the ecu.

[@Vicfromnewyork]

If you flash the ECU you can always just flash it back to stock. there isnt away for them to know its tuned unless you hint its not. If your motor blows up might be a different story tho

[@SailingIndependence]

@victor perez I guess that's true. I wonder if there's a date/time stamp that's left behind after a flash that would tip them off.. I'll look into that.

[@valentinpecnais3456]

is that petrol or diesel?

[@KevG]

Petrol 93 octane in the us
