As is the case for VAG cars, a stage 1 tune really unlocks the performance potential of the engine and gives you the extra 'shove in the back' you would expect from a performance car. I have read online that the gearing of the B9 S5 means that you really feel the torque of the engine in third gear onwards. I can confirm that this is the case with the 034 stage 1 93 octane tune, and the torque in third gear is like a relentless wave! Installation was easy and straightforward. The only negative is that you feel tempted to access the extra power/torque more often, so fuel economy plummets very very quickly. There doesn't seem to be any negative impact on fuel economy when driving normally though. All in all, a very worthwhile upgrade and highly recommended! If you are on the fence, do it! As an added bonus, vagparts provided great customer service :)

Best tune available - Just get it
Firstly I have had 3 different tunes and they are as follows:
1. Revo
2. Integrated Engineering including TCU Tune
3. 034 ECU tune and TCU patch (which is a part of this package)
My current car is a 2018 Audi S5 B9 and this tune has made the car come alive. The biggest difference between the closest competitor IE is that the shift points are at a lower RPM and maximum torque is produced at a lower rev range while still having a smooth power delivery. I want to highlight that the TCU patch will enable the higher torque to be utilised and makes the shifts faster. 034 are currently working on a proper TCU tune that will add additional features.
The tune allows for RS5 type start up and while in Sports Mode enables a lot of crazy pops and bangs (Stage 1) which brings a smile to my face every time I upshift or downshift. Added benefit is that in Dynamic Mode exhaust valves are always open instead of opening during a certain rev range, the auto stop start feature now has a memory so if you disable it, it will always be disabled until you enable it again (Thank you 034 for that). Tune is very easy to flash but ensure to have a battery charger connected before flashing as the 1st flash usually takes 15 - 25 minutes after that you will need shut down the application, start the car, switch off the car, close and restart the flashing application and flash the TCU file. 034 also have the fastest "stock" B9 s4 and hold records for many of the Audi and VW applications, the amount of time that they spend trouble shooting and calibrating their products shows because of the end result.
I can't praise the tune enough having experienced several popular tunes. Power delivery is very strong and shifts are faster, turbo spools faster and peak torque is produce at a lower rev range, car throttle is noticeable more responsive and lag is reduced, put the car back into Comfort and car is once again is tame. Critical thing that I must mention is that all factory safety settings with the ECU and TCU is maintained with 034 tune, they do not disable any of the factory features. I'm currently on 93 file which is 98 RON in Australia and could not be happier.

FLASH TUNE YOUR AUDI B9 S5
034 Motorsport offer flashing capabilities on multiple devices. Calibrate your vehicle with Windows PC, or the 034SPI Dynamic+ Smartphone Interface for MacOS, iOS mobile devices, and Android devices. Both programs have the same flashing capabilities, but 034SPI allows you to flash tunes wirelessly using the Dynamic+ Flashing Dongle and your mobile device, change fuel maps on the fly, configure live data displays, record and submit data logs to 034Motorsport's Tuning Support team, and utilize diagnostic support tools such as DTC/CEL code read/clear, and more!
Included at no extra cost is the Dynamic+ Performance TCU Software for B9 Audi S5 equipped with the AL552 8-Speed ZF8 transmission! 034Motorsport’s proprietary calibrations for the AL552 TCU safely and effectively raise the torque limits of the ZF8, allowing your car to make use of Stage 1 & 2 Performance Software.
As 034 Motorsports stage 1 delivers so much torque a TCU tune was mandatory.
The 034Motorsport Dynamic+ ECU tuning software for your Audi B9 S5 is designed to transform your driving experience. Proprietary calibrations for the ECU safely and effectively increase the power output of the turbocharged V6 in a refined manner. The result is a significant improvement in acceleration and throttle response, without any sacrifice in driveability or reliability.
034 Motorsport Engineers developed special in-house tools that allowed direct access to the firmware and maps inside the factory ECU Bosch - MG1, this level of engineering is required to prevent work-arounds and band-aids that many other brands use. 034Motorsport engineers calibrate the ECU by accessing the source of how the ECU controls the engine and making changes at the base level.
This is the ONLY way 034Motorsport can ensure our calibrations meet our high standards for ultimate power with smooth drivability, perfect function, reliability and added functions and features even beyond what the factory programming can provide.
LETS PUT SOME CORN IN (E85)
The E85 calibration is not a flex-fuel style tune. The tune will work with E85 directly from the pump. This tune requires only E85 be pumped into the fuel tank. Gasoline blends and race fuel mixtures should not be used, and engine damage could occur if the incorrect fuel or octane is used. We strongly recommend an ethanol content gauge be used so that you can monitor the actual ethanol content at the pump you are using.
When switching fuels, it takes about 20-30 minutes of normal driving for the new tank of fuel to fully circulate through the system when filled at E. Please minimize load (don’t floor it!) until you have driven the car for at least 30 minutes. Ethanol content analyzers installed close to the fuel rail will also help you see when the ethanol has fully run through the system.

DYNAMIC+ ECU & TCU FEATURES:
TRUE LAUNCH CONTROL
From the factory, conventional launch control strategies are not activated in the ECU. 034Motorsport’s skilled Calibration team has properly engineered and implemented true launch control functionality to the EA839 and AL552 ZF8. Through OEM Calibration strategies of timing reduction, Boost Control PID optimization, and torque target management, the system is able to allow for a maximum 3k RPM launch targeting 22psi for up to 8 seconds, making for a strong and smooth launch! Unlike the factory ECU that tries to “push through the brakes” on a standing brake launch, the 034Motorsport Dynamic+ calibration will allow proper loading of the engine without pushing through the brakes as hard, and properly targets a specified RPM to launch at.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT SAFETY STRATEGIES
With increased power, comes increased heat. With increased heat, comes the need for additional management. For both charge air temperature and engine coolant temperature, 034Motorsport has implemented key safety features to keep your engine running optimally and safely in virtually any condition - just like the OEM calibration.
Charge Air Temp:When the charge temp exceeds 80*C there is a reduction in power output. When the charge temp exceeds 85*C there is a more significant reduction in power output. This charge temp limitation is there to prevent knock events, which can severely damage a motor. With these safety measures in place, you can confidently drive your car knowing the factory ECU has optimal performance and safety covered..
Coolant Temp/Fan Strategy: 034Motorsport calibrators have rescaled the coolant temperature targets and fan control strategies to target lower coolant temperatures when in higher heat conditions, allowing the car to run within a safe heat range rescaled for the added heat that comes from tuning the engine.
RS-STYLE STARTUP REV ENABLED:
Enjoy a nice start-up rev when turning the car on with our new RS-Style start-up program!
START/STOP BUTTON MEMORY:
The Dynamic+ Tuning options for the EA839 3.0T all retain the Start/Stop engine functionality, but allow users to set memory for the system based upon preference. If you do not want the Start/Stop system to run, turn it off via the in-cabin button and the car will store that selection even after key cycling the car. If you would like it to stay on, select it to be on via the in-cabin button. This is done in a completely OEM fashion, helping enhance the overall experience of driving your car!
INCREASED POWER AND ACCELERATION DURING SHIFT EVENT:
034Motorsport tuning safely applies more power throughout the shift event, increasing overall acceleration and performance.
ENHANCED CRACKLES IN DYNAMIC MODE:
034Motorsport engineers have enhanced the crackles for maximum auditory pleasure! Crackles can be toggled on or off via Drive Select. They will be on in Dynamic and off in Comfort, giving you the ability to crackle when you want, and cruise quietly when you don't. In Individual, crackles can be toggled on or off via Engine Sound. NOTE: Launch Control Only Works in True Dynamic Mode.
EXHAUST FLAPS PERMANENTLY OPEN IN DYNAMIC MODE:
From the Factory, Audi will open and close the exhaust flaps randomly, even in Dynamic mode. With 034Motorsport tuning, When set to Dynamic, the exhaust valves will now stay constantly open.
FREE REVVING IN NEUTRAL AND PARK:
The rev-limiter is now removed while in Neutral and Park. Impress friends and annoy those around you with limitless ease!
FUEL SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION:
While E85 provides substantial increases in power, it requires about 30% more fuel than standard pump gasoline per ignition cycle. Utilizing a variety of fuel stratified injection strategies, 034Motorsport calibrators have further optimized the factory fueling system to be able to adequately support full E85 on factory hardware for Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes.
ACCURATE BOOST AND TORQUE REPORTING:
As with anything in life, it is always best to be truthful. This especially applies when it comes to reporting torque outputs in the ECU to the other control modules in the car, as well as displaying accurate boost readings to the driver via the boost gauge found on the Virtual Cockpit. With 034Motorsport Dynamic+ software, the ECU is reporting accurate torque values to critical systems like the TCU to ensure that all safety systems are intact in both control units, and the added torque from tuning is properly adjusted for when driving/shifting, including all safety systems designed to protect the engine and transmission.
034MOTORSPORT B9 AUDI S5 3.0T STAGE DESCRIPTIONS
STAGE 1 B9 AUDI S5
034Motorsport Stage 1 Performance Software for the EA839 3.0T engine running pump gas is engineered to safely increase the horsepower and torque with no hardware required. Due to the significant addition of torque from just Stage 1, the 034Motorsport AL552 ZF8 TCU tune is mandatory to run in parallel with our ECU tuning.
In addition to power improvements, 034Motorsport's engineers spent a significant amount of time refining the throttle mapping in order to provide improved throttle response and allow for more precise throttle modulation and further control of the vehicle when driving on track.
STAGE 2 B9 AUDI S5
034Motorsport Stage 2 Performance Software for the EA839 3.0T engine is engineered to further increase horsepower and torque output over Stage 1 levels with the addition of a034Motorsport Intake System, anUpgraded Intercooler, andan Upgraded High Flow Catted Downpipe. As with all 034Motorsport calibrations, the proprietary safety calibrations yield additional power from the 3.0T engine without an increase in harm to the factory Engine, Transmission, and Drivetrain. The resulting gains over stage 1 with this added hardware make for an even more profound transformation over Stock or Stage 1!
STAGE 3 TTE710
034 Motorsport Stage 3 Performance Software for the EA839 3.0T equipped with TTE710 Hybrid Turbocharger (running pump gas or ethanol) is engineered to safely increase the horsepower and torque beyond the stock turbocharger. Significant time was spent refining and safely optimizing the TTE710 Turbocharger calibration to ensure unrivaled drivability and uncompromised reliability. While many tuners can achieve great power figures that look impressive on a dyno sheet or a webpage, the key to a truly substantive and transformative software upgrade lies in the strategies employed to make power efficiently and safely.
In addition to power improvements, 034 Motorsport's engineers spent a significant amount of time refining the throttle mapping in both Dynamic and Comfort modes to provide improved throttle response and allow for more precise throttle modulation with the addition of a hybrid turbocharger.
UPGRADED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (+) ETHANOL
Dynamic+Stage 1.5,Stage 2.5, andStage 3 Software are designed to be utilized with an upgraded high pressure fuel pump that offers a 37% larger diameter piston over the factory.
Plus (.5) files are to be used with uprated HPFP and Ethanol only. There is no gain from pump fuel and HPFP.
The Stage 3 E85 Pump file is recommended to have an ethanol content of E60-E85 and is designed to provide the most power possible with higher ethanol contents. This file is suited for those looking to daily drive their vehicle and run E85 from the pump safely without the hassles of mixing.
034 Motorsport's Dynamic+ flashing kit allows customers to install their ECU Software themselves. In addition customers can receive and install software updates and revisions, flash back to stock, or upgrade to the next stage of performance software for their vehicle.
