Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Downshift! Just before we go to Stage 3 we wanted to film a 6 month review of the stage 2 ECU + TCU tune from 034 Motorsport. We've had people message us asking about the reliability so we thought it would be useful to address it in a video. We also discuss whether it's worth it versus stage 1 and some of the differences that you get. We hope you enjoy!

I was surf the web for audi, and all of a sudden i see your video. This is pretty much what i expected. 💥

@packat78 Жыл бұрын

i agree. installing a HFC and going stage 2 was something i put off, and didn't really see a need for since the power increase is negligible. However, i'm so glad i finally decided to do it. The sound alone is worth it. Way better than throwing $3k at an exhaust system.

Still waiting on supporting mods for it. One big install before the TTE

@petejr7583 Жыл бұрын

I have the 034 stage 1 in my ‘21 S5 vert - true, not a lot of pops, bangs and burbles from the stock exhaust, so I added the VPS res delete. Now it sounds great! The car is fast as hell, sounds and shifts awesome, yet I didn’t have to invest in the stage 2 and it’s bolt on’s! I will eventually, but IMO this is the best bang (no pun intended) for the buck. The next planned engine mod will be the IE full intake system, then the 034 stage 2 TCU and before next summer, the upgraded intercooler.

@@DailyDownshiftI’ve also found oil on only one of my spark plugs, stage 1 2020 s4 (going stage 2 once my intercooler comes in)… Online searches I’ve done make it seem like it might just be the valve gasket needing replaced which is supposedly not a difficult job to do.

Yes, you definitely need it. The stock cat is a big restriction. Even with stock tune, after you change the cat you notice a difference, its almost like the car was stuffed up and you just opened the restriction

Wanted your honest opinion, bro. Been interested in an S4 for 5yrs now. Long story short made the mistake of buying an STI 2 times since then. But now, I've been looking at the B9 chassis. How's the gear box holding and is the engine overall reliable and would you recommend keeping the car long term? Thanks in advance

The only thing I don’t like about the IE/034 tune it’s that when you rev it parked it only goes to 6200rpms, I believe with EPL “not sure” you could rev it up to 7000rpms and makes it sounds so different and better
