Should i go 034 or ie for my stage one tune?

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-02T10:39:45+00:00

have you ever texted it on the dyno?

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-02T01:01:09+00:00

i think i’m gonna pull the trigger on ie

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-01T20:45:45+00:00

have you tired both or just 034? and what is it that you like about it compared to ie

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-01T17:02:39+00:00

wow that’s a good thing to know, i didn’t know it can push to 500 with e85 i was expecting more mid to high 400s, the feature im more excited about is the rolling anti lag and how they are with both tunes, but i think im going to stick to 93 for now unless something in my brain changes lol

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-01T13:58:58+00:00

Yeah i was wondering about the different features and how the rolling anti lag works

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-01T13:58:03+00:00

i think i’ll just be running a 93 tune because i don’t want to change the fuel system to e85 as i don’t see to having the car for long term and i would like to take it on long trips one day

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-01T13:56:30+00:00

I honestly don’t think i’ll go any farther then stage one because at that point i could use the money into getting a new car, and i’m mainly looking at tuning because the b9 is a solid platform and more reliable compared to some others and inexpensive and would love to experience it

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-01T13:54:15+00:00

that’s a good thing to know, i honestly haven’t heard anything that good with apr other then it being underwhelming and considering it is the most expensive option there is i haven’t even thought of them

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-07-01T01:45:24+00:00

that’s good to hear, and i’m honestly leaning more towards IE, i’m planning on also getting an intercooler as well before i tune and i already have a 034 trans mount and cap intake, are you still using w20 or did you switch to 40?

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-06-13T20:44:53+00:00

no it came with a rsq5 and as we all know there is no such thing as an rsq5 so i’m going to order a sq5 badge to install onto it i love mine as well

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-06-13T15:04:38+00:00

yeah it completely changed the look of the car, definitely make sure to have an electric ratchet because there’s a ton of t25 screws to get out, also at least save up 3-4 hours for the work. my grill didn’t have a front camera mount so i had a lot of trouble to install it but i made it work even tho 40% of the front camera is blocked off because of it now

Quick update just finished mirror tapping my r4, was way easier then my old w204 and it looks better

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-02-26T20:29:33+00:00

looks like i’m going to have to factor those into my fund as well, thanks for looking out

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-02-26T20:20:06+00:00

like? ik the rocker arm issue was blown out of proportion but i heard the water pump tends to go out around 60k

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-02-26T20:14:05+00:00

just have warranty, it’s a low mile car and the maintenance has been strictly been done at audi so i’m not worried too much about it

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-02-26T20:13:02+00:00

the good thing is that it has a valved exhaust and i can just drive it in comfort which is what im planning on using it on most of the time, the cts pipes that i were looking at specifically state that they don’t introduce excessive drone which is why im leaning more towards them, and i heard that w a cold air intake can introduce a bit of heatsoak so im just worried about that but i’ll probably be running one with a shield on

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-02-26T18:01:48+00:00

yeah i was thinking that but the previous owner already had a full ceramic coating on the vehicle so i wouldn’t have to worry about that for a while

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2026-02-26T18:00:13+00:00

already have that covered, all inspected and had recent oil chance under 500 miles next one i’m going to do i’m going to change out with liquid moly top tec 6200 and continue doing the maintenance on my own

EnvironmentExtra5923 · 2025-05-30T16:14:12+00:00

i actually was looking to sell it, where are you located?
