About this job
The results
This Audi Q5 3.0 TDI now makes 290hp, up from 245hp as standard: 45hp more, an increase of around 18%.
Torque rose from 580Nm to 650Nm (+70Nm), which is what you feel most in everyday driving: stronger pull from low revs and easier overtaking.
What the work involved
Stage 1 is calibrated for a car with standard hardware. By refining boost, fuelling, timing and torque requests within the engine's safe limits, it delivers stronger, smoother acceleration and sharper throttle response.
The gearbox was tuned as well. A gearbox calibration raises the transmission's torque limits to suit the engine and can sharpen shifts and response, so both work together as one package.
How we carried it out
- Diagnostic scan for stored faults before any work
- Stabilised power supply connected while programming
- Original software read and saved, so the car can be returned to standard
- Calibration written, then the car checked again afterwards
