Budget RS6! Is the SQ7 with an APR tune as good?

As a quick introduction to the two latest builds on our channel, we decided to see if the Audi SQ7 is a budget RS6 option. In this video we compare 0-60 and dyno both vehicles to see if the SQ7 can hold its own.

Both are amazing cars but that RS6.. wow. Dope car, Ethan. Nice cargo box! I wonder how my Inno 660 will look on it 👀 My dream dad wagon as I’m sure it is to many. Great jobs guys, love the drone shots.

Great info and video! How much lighter are those aftermarket wheels than oem? That's going to help your 0-60 and 1320 times.

@Vaguh Жыл бұрын

The wheels are 14 lbs lighter than stock. They’re the @034Motorsport ZTF01. I’ve got their 2 piece rotors coming as well, which should also help. Although, I haven’t run a 0-60 or 1/4 mile since I’ve put them on.

Cool, you guys are local in the PNW. I ended up going with a SQ7 and took delivery recently and it’s def a low key sleeper. One thing to note, these are effectively the same engines but the turbos are slightly larger on the RS6, it’s sharing that turbo with the Urus & RSQ8 where the SQ7 has slightly smaller turbos that’s shared with the Porsche Cayenne & Bentley Bentayga. Also, I’m curious if you dynoed the SQ7 before the stage 1 mod. I’m curious to see if Audi is sandbagging with that 500 hp number because the Bentley & Cayenne, with the exact same engine is showing 540 hp.

@Vaguh Жыл бұрын

I haven’t done a stock dyno run on the SQ7 yet, but plan to soon. We’ve confirmed the same hardware for the turbos on the SQ7 and RS6.

You’ll notice the power output for both tunes from APR are exactly the same.

@@Vaguh I went back and looked at the forum and your correct, RS6 shares the same turbo part number with SQ8, SQ7 & RS7. It’s only the RSQ8 & Urus that share the same turbo part number. I’m assuming it’s larger on the RSQ8/Urus but I can’t confirm.

Time will tell, but we’ve got 40k miles with no issues so far. Keep in mind it’s the same engine and transmission as the RS6, so it can handle the power. Congrats on the hard work.

SQ7 is definitely more of a sleeper and it’d be hilarious to build a stage 2 to blow the doors off of any VW Urus with their same Audi V8

I wonder how much a replacement ecu is? I am thinking you could swap in a replacement oem stock ecu for warranty claims and avoid a TD1 hopefully on the SQ7.

@Vaguh Жыл бұрын

I think by the time you buy a new ECU, you can get the warranty from APR. Their Stage 1+ comes with a warranty.

@1bluensx 5 ай бұрын

What kind of warranty. It’s my understanding that I found to be tuned, Audi can void all warranty repairs, even ones unrelated to the engine. I’d really like to know the “fine print” of the tuners warranty. I have a 2024 SQ8 on order. I’d like a tune, but I’m also afraid of warranty issues

How is the car holding up with the APR tune?? Seriously considering pulling the trigger on my SQ7 soon. Just want to be sure it hasn’t blown up any engines!!

@Vaguh Жыл бұрын

Car is holding up great! The APR tune is phenomenal. I’m currently on the IE tune, helped them beta test. It’s awesome too. Makes more power and has a TCU tune plus you can flash from your laptop with a cable. Got faster time with APR, though. Likely a traction issue. I’ll do some comparison videos soon.

Why do people purposely paint, wrap or order cars with a color that is literally a mixture of bile and mucus? What a way to 100% destroy the looks of an RS6, no to mention those hideous wheels. Congratulations, you have made your very expensive car look like a cheap Japanese toy car. Great video otherwise, someone who actually tuned the car and SHOWS US AN ACTUAL LAUNCH lol. So many people have tune videos and just drive the car around showing their face and never the instruments. THANKS for that. I was just going to say, of course you could tune the RS6 too though.................
