paul p Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had a stage 1 tune done on a Q5? I've got a 16 plate 190bhp and am wondering if the claimed 20ish bhp horsepower makes any difference, I'm hoping for a bit more acceleration really, not expecting a rocket.

Steve Q Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 It's the torque you need to look at most. Think you would feel.the difference. Have you looked at Celtic tuning or darkside developments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giddy72 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Been looking into this myself, got the following quote for £299 Original Power: 188 bhp Tuned Power: 225 bhp Increase: +20% Original Torque: 400 Nm Tuned Torque: 470 Nm Increase: 18% You may also see a fuel saving of up to 10% (driver dependent) as well as increased throttle response and drivability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Hello again Gideon, This is the same vehicle that you are intending buying?? Is it fair to ask why you are considering putting this 80k mileage engine under additional strain - do you really need the extra power? I take it you are at least going to renew the air filter before you undertake this, and ideally renew the engine oil and filter, unless it’s recently been done. I’m sure you will be aware that this will probably increase your insurance premium, but… Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Hi. If anyone has any issues with insurance at all for this type of conversion then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there Gareth, I am after more MPG, as on average, once a fortnight I will be making a trip from Falmouth to Staffordshire so an increase in MPG is desirable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a standard 'map', or what I recommend is doing a rolling road remap? If it is a rolling road remap, that is a great price, and you'll have to tell us which company. Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giddy72 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 That was for the remap only http://www.midcornwall.quantumtuning.co.uk/ DRS Performance quoted, £275 tuning only or £349 rolling road package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
