I've been going to Reiter Performance for all of my hardware installations and trouble shooting since I purchased my 2018 Audi RS3 a few years back. Kyle got sick of seeing me have all the fun and has purchase his own 2016 Audi SQ5 to have some fun with. After only a few short days of ownership we took it to Mission Raceway to lay down some 1/4 mile times. We started out completely stock and then tuned the SUV one step at a time to see what it could accomplish at a Stage 1 - 91 & Stage 1 93 power level. We were blown away with the performance gained from just a tune!!!

The B8R SQ5 is a hidden gem in the Audi lineup. Solid motor, robust trans, quattro, and a decent looking car that ages very well. Still have people shocked when I tell them my SQ5 is a 2014. Then I break their necks with e40, dual pulley launch. #SoccerMumCar
The best way to test the gains from tunes. I Appreciate the effort you put into this video 👍
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Man now I want an SQ5 !!!
I am sending this to my Dad, as he is shopping for his do everything retirement car and the video proves just how potent a simple tune is on these cars.
I've been following your channel for a while now, because of the good quality and real life data and comparisons. Because I also happen to have a 3.0 supercharged engine in my SQ5 and that is quite unique here in the Netherlands, because the SQ5 was only supplied as diesel in Europe. Already liked your channel, but now I'm even more curious and interested. My best run on the back road's of Germany 🤪 is stock 52F 43ft DA-490ft 13.24s at 102.99 mph on Draggy. I still don't understand why you have so few subs, keep up the good work 👍🏻
I don't understand either so I'm going to keep on doing me in hopes of building this channel to great heights!
Picked up an SQ5 not that long ago, excited to see what ya guys got coming. need some motivation
I just upgraded my Q5 Ultra to a SQ5 3.0DTT and have it's just had its first tune. Absolutely love the car and so glad ive found your channel! Air intake next week and will keep watching for more inspiration :)
I'm not sure what an SQ5 3.0DTT is, but thanks for watching regardless!!!
@@VancityAudi sorry, the V6 3.0ltr Diesel twin turbo. 😀
@@davehume4431 All good. We don't have those in North America so that explains why I didn't know what it was.
Awesome content as always, nice!
Thanks for watching!
450hp based on et and mph calculator. Nice. I’ve been wanting to do my 15 I’ve had since new. But diesel/race/work truck always wins the upgrade lotto. Springtime for pulleys and tune will be the plan now.
On Runs 2 & 3 of the 91octane file it looks as though it launched in 2nd gear. That's where the time went ;)
We want more SQ5 content
More is on the way!
Great video, I'll be really interested to see the results if the SQ5 goes full DP e40, TB, MR IC, HPFP, CWA100 and compare to your B8. Lots more weight but like you said the ZF 8HP is a pretty nice trans!
If I know Kyle, he'll go even further than that.
Well damn! I’ve got a 3.0T Q5 that’s APR stage 1, looks like I definitely need to do the TCU tune soon! Awesome video!
I can't say that you'll get the same results with APR as you will with IE, but good luck nevertheless!
@@VancityAudi Plus, APR doesn't offer a TCU tune on the ZF8 transmission. But, then again, APR are not the only tuners our there ;)
I just did a STAGE 1 93 OCTANE tune from IE on my B8 SQ5. Exhaust is next 😊
Congrats! Hopefully you used my promo code for a discount!
Sounded like he was launching in 2nd on the 91 file, but great video none the less !
Very nice !! Cant wait for the mods to start!!
launched in 2nd gear on that stage 1 tune. really don't need to brake boost for more than 1 second on the 3.0T
I’m flashing my 2012 s4 tomorrow, I love credit cards LOL!
Ok I’m sold definitely go to start with tune on my 15 sq5 prestige premium. Looks exactly like your buddies! I also ran 13.31 stock on my draggy @100mph! Fun suv fersure
I feel like our Q7 atm is at that stage1 on 91 level atm. Trans tune would be nice, and audible wise ours doesn’t sound quite as good . Once your already moving I feel like you really feel a big difference. 40-110 ours flys. ( don’t want anything too crazy cause it’s our family car n my wife’s daily ) but would love a stage1 on 93 with a trans tune 👌🏻
I hate to burst your optimistic bubble, but your Q7 will not be nearly as quick as this is. Your Q7 weighs roughly 1100lbs more than this SUV does. That plays a massive role in 1/4 mile ET and trap speeds.
@@VancityAudi no bubble to burst, just a statement. Stock time is 15.7, me running it stock would be not nearly as quick. I don’t have a track around me so getting a dragy is my only other option for trying to get times.
I do suppose the next upgraded suv s/rs I should look into tuning abilities beforehand , so I have more options .
Just subbed last video I watched, ( I have an 10’ A5 with a bunch of stuff done to it ) love the channel…. 🤜🏻🤛🏻. Question.. we also have a 14’ Q7 ( 4L I believe ) 3.0 Supercharged .. I was looking on IE and couldn’t find a tune? I did a 2nd res delete ( x.pipe ) intake, throttle controller and race chip. Best I could do for what I’ve found. If possible could you do a video on the 4L 3.0SC q7s? Like what tunes/mods are available for them? I’m not sure what is compatible as far as engine in general goes as the motors are in the b8.5-b9 and there’s a ton of mods for them . But not much directly listed for the 4Ls. ?? Thanks for the content, really digging the channel thus far🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for watching! Sadly I won't be doing any videos on that particular vehicle. Because of the lack of tuning options for that SUV there aren't very many options to go with to make it quicker and faster with software.
Nice! thanks for posting. Very interesting.
You're welcome. We thought so too!
Great improvement. I would love to see the 0-60 mph time from stock to tune.
And is this the petrol version of the sq5? Since I live in europe, mine is the diesel version.
Anyways love to see this V6 go!
We never got a diesel version in North America, only petrol. Sadly he never had his Dragy connected for the stock runs.
Check out The Craigineering Channel for comparison on Stage 1 93 ECU tune Q5 0-60 comparison with and without the trans tune as well as some 1/4 mile runs with ECU and Trans tune.
Trans tune (launch control?) was starting in 2nd it sounded like
Well I guess that answers my previous Dragy question!
Sadly they're not always this accurate.
@@VancityAudi k fine I'll go to the damn drag strip. Yeesh
😅
I have no idea what these terms mean. How do you do a “tune” without any hardware? What is meant by Stage 1? Is that just a non hardware “tune”. I imagine this would void a warranty and potentially add wear. Otherwise, why doesn’t the manufacturer incorporate this?
Looks like you have some SERIOUS research to do. A tune is software, not hardware. Stage 1 is the most entry level power gain made via software (aka tuning your vehicle's ECU) which doesn't require additional hardware to be installed to make more power. If you do add hardware to a Stage 1 tuned vehicle you will gain even more power. Yes, you void your powertrain warranty when you tune your vehicle. Manufacturers tune their vehicles from the factory for reliability and longevity, not for maximum performance. You can start your research here: performancebyie.com/collections/ecu-software-tunes/products/ie-ecu-tune-audi-30t-supercharged
I'm guessing the 91 and 93 tunes were E85 blends with 94 Chevron?
You are correct. Roughly an E20 blend.
Love this madness!!
Pretty awesome, huh?!
I’ve gone back and forth on a tune on my 16 SQ5 so many times. Thanks for making this!
Side note: I’ve found launch a bit finicky too. Temps have to be right and the wheel can’t be turned at all. I never hold the gas for more than a second or so and that doesn’t seem to prevent it from engaging. I wonder if his temps were too high…?
We figured it out eventually. He was holding down Launch Control too long before he let off the brake.
Why did the B8 make 30hp, & the B9 only gets 10 on the dyno?
You're going to need to be a bit more specific in your question
My stock 2016 SQ5 still has its extended warranty....realllly making me contemplate a stage 1 tune and saying f it lol
Impressive
Nice one! Is that the V6 turbo diesel (if you guys get them in the states) or the petrol?
Petrol. We don't get diesel SQ5's here.
@@VancityAudi oh right, thanks for the reply. In Australia, they only came out in the diesel. Which is what we have.
shell provide 93 oct in vancouver now :)
I am aware.
Is it true that after flashing your ECU so many times that it will eventually become corrupt or cause some ECU issues?
No. I've lost count of the amount of times I have flashed each of my Audi's. I've never had a problem. With that said, sometimes things do go wrong and you need to be careful.
What is stage 1 93? I have stage 1 apr. I’m going to do stage 2 soon. And I just lowered it on bc racing. Rides so nice. Stage 2 is a must.
Not sure understand the question. What do you mean "What is Stage 1 93"?
@@VancityAudi the title says stage 1 91 vs stage 1 93. Is that just a fuel tune ?
@@atn2666 91 octane tune vs 93 octane tune. That's the only difference
just picked up 2016 q5 with a 3.0t, should I go with Unitronic or Integrated??
Integrated
@@VancityAudi thank you hadit flashed with integrated stage 1 q5 feels like a beast! Had it flashed at Evelution Auto Saurag and Allan
Hey I have a question, I’m thinking about installing the IE stage 1 91 oct tune in my car soon, I wonder if it’s possible to switch from 91 to 93 for free because I want to run 91 most of the time and 93 when I go to the track 😅
That's not a problem! Once you pay IE for the Stage 1 ECU software you gain access to both the 91 and 93 octane tunes
SQ5 moving! Running Chevron 94? What made you move from Unitronic to IE?
Chevron 94 blended with E20. As I mentioned in the video he saw what I was able to achieve in my B8 S4.
@@VancityAudi IE tunes run stronger than Uni?
@@Zharsergey I never said that. He saw what I was able to achieve in my B8 S4. They have the same engine. He decided to trust what worked for me.
@@Zharsergey they do
Can we see this done on the diesel sq5
There is no such SUV in North America, sorry.

Interested what the stage 2 (without pulley) could do ;)
On this platform Stage 2 means it has a pulley upgrade. The tune wouldn't work right without that being done.
@@VancityAudi it will ;)
My take on this; I don't think the improvement was that much credited to the ECU tune. I think the performance increase was more atttributed to the TCU tune which allows the transmission to rev all the way to 7200rpm instead of being limited to 6200rpm. Sure, the ECU tune helps and has mapping to 7200rpm, but on an SQ5, the stage 1 increase in performance is hardly noticeable - if at all. I know this, because I own a '15 SQ5 and went through all the steps....all the way up to APR Stage 2+ with a custom TCU tune. For anyone out there with a stock SQ5, stage 1 on its own holds very little benefit. If you own a Q5 3.0 TFSI....then yes, stage 1 takes your power to that of SQ5 levels and a little higher.
TL;DR - on an SQ5, stage 1 is a waste of time unless you add a TCU tune as well. Even then, you don't be experiencing a "different car" like the vanilla Q5 3.0 TFSI owners would experience given the same mods.
Sadly you'd be absolutely 100% incorrect. The MPH in itself is enough to showcase that the car is making WAY more power than it was before the ECU was tuned. The TCU most definitely improved the shifts and the launch which help the ET, but the amazing gains in trap speed are mainly to do with the SUV making way more power than it was before.
I completely disagree with you that the Stage 1 tuning is a "waste of time". It is clear as day in this video that it added 8.5MPH in the 1/4 mile which is a MASSIVE gain from just tuning the car.
@@VancityAudi I'm speaking from first hand experience. What you should have done, if you wanted to be that objective, is to first update the ECU without the TCU tune....do a run or two, and then add the TCU tune on top of that and witness the difference. You don't have first hand experience with the ZF8 box and this engine...you come from a DSG fitted vehicle. It's not the same thing and without the TCU tune on the ZF8 box you can't rev past 6200rpm which, as I am sure you know, is where the HP gain comes from.
I stand by my comment - because I have experience in this, the stage 1 tune on the SQ5 is pretty miserable without the TCU tune to go along with it. I am stating it as a fact.
The stage 1 tune adds maybe/possibly 60hp over the stock power curve, but the extra power is only noticeable past 6200rpm which you cannot access without a TCU tune on the ZF8 box. Ask your mechanic friend. Was able to rev to 7200rpm on his stock ZF8 tune? If he says "yes" - I would recommend another mechanic OR list his SQ5 as the only one in existence to rev past 6200rpm without a TCU tune.
@@boerieza so you've tuned your car with IE software and know this from first hand experience? You claimed in your first comment that you used APR tuning. Not all tuning is the same.
@@VancityAudi You should know as well as I do that when it comes to top level tuners, there's very little in it OTHER than personal bias and kiddy politics. I am just stating FACTS about how the ZF8 box works in the Audi model in question. It has nothing to do with tuner. BTW, APR being in the 3.0 TFSI game a little longer than IE, so I would assume it's not a half-baked map.
That aside, my statement, that I am really trying hard to get across to you, is that without a TCU map on a ZF8 box, you cannot access the increase in HP that a stage 1 or higher map offers. The impressive times you guys saw from your video was attributed to the ECU + TCU combo. If you had just done the ECU, you probably wouldn't have made a video because you would have seen very little difference in performance.
It's not a difficult concept. The ZF8 box is not the same as your DSG, it has limitations in accessing power above 6200rpm, unlike your DSG. and when it comes to superchargers....higher RPM matters. You said it yourself...the trap speeds were higher. Yes, they were, because your friend could actually rev the car higher through the gears. Physics.
This is actually not an argument - I'm just trying to correct the statement that this was all done by the ECU tune, which is misleading your viewers and subscribers. These cars are a little different to your S4 and it's important to let people understand that a TCU tune really makes THAT big of a difference in these cars. I'm not trying to block your IE sponsorship...just trying to help you promote both products (tunes) and not just one.
@@boerieza your point seems to have now changed. Your first comment stated that the TCU tune was the performance gain and that the ECU tune was pretty much useless. Are you changing your tone now? Just to prove that you're wrong you've inspired me to shoot a video on the dyno proving the gains with and without a TCU tune. Thanks for the inspiration!!! I'm 100% positive that with a TCU tune the car will rev higher and make more power, but the bulk of the power gain will come from the ECU being tuned and not the TCU. Thanks for watching.
I just flashed my tcu, theres no 7200 rpm file there.
If you are using Integrated Engineering software, your SQ5 is an 8R model and it isn't there then you might have to flash it with the stock tune before it shows up for you. If that doesn't work try contacting IE support directly to see if it is available for your box code.
It sounds like he might have a wheel balance or tire pressure issue
I heard that too. He might. That's what you get though for bringing a car to the track a few days after you purchase it, lol.
There is lunch control on SQ5 2015 stock ?
Kind of. They load up the torque converter. You have to hold down the brake really hard to do it.
@@VancityAudi I tried it a few times...nothing like lunch control!!! It is like I just push the brake down and the brake him self holding the car... not the lunch control... I don't know why. It looks like there is no lunch in my 2015
@@doronkoz Turn your traction control off. Car in Dynamic. Push the brake into the floor as hard as you can. Slam on the gas and watch your revs go up. Let off the brake and you're gone. That's how it works in that SUV. It is clearly shown in this video working as intended.
@@VancityAudi I will try again. Than you very much. Any ...heyyy.... I love your videos very much. Very informative. Thanks.
@@doronkoz thank you for watching and for your support.

Nice👍
What's a "zed f?" 😜
Don't mind me being Canadian
I wish the ZF8 was an easy to swap out to the S4 and S5 ... The ZF8 is more reliable😓 mectronic issues here with the DL501
I thought you were gonna say its the wifes car lol.

Comparing 1/4 miles is underwhelming. Id prefer seeing testing 60- 130
🤣
