Hey mate, just picked up a 2016 s5 myself couple weeks back. The things a beast - visually and performance wise- so not sure what has been done to the cars engine by the previous owner. What’s that app you use to record your pulls? Am hoping I could get this too and the time of the runs will give me some indication as to where my cars at!

Hows your fuel economy with the car compared to untuned?
@STLCarsYTАй бұрын
To be honest mate I haven't driven it enough to see a difference. With it being a second car it only comes put of the garage every so often and when it does its normally in dynamic so fuel economy isn't really what I'm looking at. I think I've done one long journey in it and it was about the same as standard 37mpg ish average over 180 miles

It really depends mate. Easiest way is to get a tape measure and measure the distance from the centre of the wheel to the arch and then see how much gap it is to get it sitting nice. Best way is to go coilovers if you can strech to it as it give you the flexibility to adjust to get it perfect.

Was hilarious when I first booted it with 4 members of the family in my MRC stage 2 tuned B8 S4! They all screamed like kids on a roller coaster 😅 Wonder what'll happen if they're ever in my new (to me) C7.5 stage 2 RS6? Tuning these CAKA/CREC engines is all about the torque, nothing like a single pulley upgrade to easily keep within the powerband and not needing an upgraded heat exchanger (doesn't do harm to have one though). Looks like MRC have some decent competition now! Beautiful colour on the S5, although I'm probably a bit biased as the S4 is sprint blue and the RS6 Sepang blue. Even though the S4 is 14 years old she still scrubs up nice and gets a lot of comments from people when out and about. Enjoy!
@sarcastixx744 ай бұрын
Can't believe there are people still out there buying the "branded" ones at way more than 5 times the price of these cheap ebay ones. What's even funnier is the way they try and justify it on the forums. This was the first thing I did when I got my S4 a few years ago. Instant massive difference. 9 notes from fleabay! 🤣But the real way to get the DSG boxes on the S4/5 to behave is to get a TCU tune. I've had a TVS stage 2+ on mine for a couple of years now and it transformed the entire driving experience of the car. It was necessary as the car came with an MRC stage 2 tune already on it. Well worth every penny of the 600 quid paid for the TCU tune and I've had zero issues at all with the box since owning the car. People also fit the diff and subframe inserts but the danger is transferring NVH into the cabin.
@Pwnulolumad3 ай бұрын
The reason you pay more for “branded” is because you’re supporting small businesses from the USA or EU that pay their employees fair wages, and their company invested into creating a product that was copied by some Chinese company. Furthermore, 034 in particular and JXB make revisions to their products based on consumer feedback . Enjoy saving a few dollars, but don’t cry when the west collapses
@C.C_Duck4 ай бұрын
I had this installed in my manual A5 quattro last year, ended up removing it after a month. It did tighten up the transmission and gear shifts but during every start up it will make a small clunk sound. I believe this was due to my adjustable engine mounts that are softer on start-up. So the transmission mount ended up being the stiffest mount and took the torque load during start-up. But as soon as I stiffened the mounts in dynamic setting, I started feeling the benefits of the mount. unfortunately my Audi can't be started in dynamic mode so I always get the clunk on start-up, which got more annoying than the benefits of the mount. But at some point I will probably re-install it when I upgrade to stiffer engine mounts.

Hey STL. Great video. Seriously considering the same upgrade. I believe we have the same car and I was wondering: 1) How does it behave in normal D position as against S and Manual? Also 2. I’m confused between what “stock locking SS on” is as opposed to the stage 1 tune you picked. Any ideas?
@STLCarsYT5 ай бұрын
So in the CREC engine the Supercharger had a clutch the tune allows you to lock it so it's constantly engaged. In normal drive it isn't much different to standard. When in sport though it revs higher and changes much quicker.

Shame it started raining but breaking into the 3’s is still nice. Best I’ve gotten out of my s5 is a 3.66 since being MRC stage 1. Apart from us having different tunes mines a 2014 so it has a slightly different engine to yours (CGWC vs CREC), not sure how if at all it affects the performance. I did the runs in summer using V power and have since switched the momentum, with it now being winter hopefully the lower IAT will result in a better time so I’m going to try a few runs soon. Will be interesting to compare once you do some runs in the dry
