I chose 034 from the get go seeing what they're putting out there and really just how much they're involved and the content they put out there. Saw how a ton of people were coming from other tuners for the tcu tune alone cause its just so much more refined. They're simply a cut above the rest. Excited to see what they do for the b9 platform.
HOLY FUCK!!!!, for years that beeping whilst doors open annoyed me for years and wasn’t sure if I should turn it OFF permanently on the OBD… I seriously didn’t know that button trick LOL 😂 thanks bro!
I seen that on UA-cam and ran outside to try it sometimes u gotta hit it like 3 times lol
With an OBD11 you can permanently turn it off. Lots of other fun things you can do with it too
I live in the bay area so 034 is local. Was about to get APR tunes for my new to me S5 but looks like I'll be going to 034!
It’s the best bro 🔥🔥🔥 trust !
literally grew up in the backseat of Audi's and own one today...… I can't believe there's a BUTTON to make the beeping STOP! bruh my jaw dropped. I can't wait to tell my father about this LMFAO
i hope this works for all audi's lol
BRO RIGHT I NEVER KNEW
Was literally just thinking about this today. I'm APR Stage 1, if and when I go to Stage 2 I'm going to 034 or IE.
Go with 034 trust me you won’t regret it 🔥🔥
I got my Audi b9 from auction, it came with a stage 2 tune, if not stage 2+, it has a massive apr intercooler, and ARMA carbon fiber intake , as well as FI exhaust system, should I just keep what it has?
cuz apr is trash lmao
What do you have to do to pass California smog? Do you have to remove and install stock pulleys to pass or is it as simple as just putting the tune back to stock? Trying to figure out how far I can go and still be able to pass smog without having to do anymore than to change my tune back to stock. Thanks.
I would agree with you 034 Motorsport in stuff it better tune a specialized in the Audis so it's a very good tune matter what you do one two or State Street cars fast as it is I said I actually an Audi technician I have a 2016 Premium Plus it's it's really nice it's got all the carbon Alcatraz seats and you in the back say S4 on them it's really nice but I have my buddy Alex from sheepy racing I have my tune from him and I'm at 520 horsepower and that's just from the tune that's from not anything else launch control is good there's only so many you can do and when you're racing you're not going to be in launch control all the time APR is a good tune they put a little bit more power down then 034 Motorsport if you put Royal Purple oil in that racing Royal Purple you're going to gain more horsepower and can you keep your engine cooler it's me to keep the temperature the engine cooler very expensive it's about $130 for 7 quarts but it works cuz I run it in my S4 and I run it in my Audi R8 that's a different topic that's a different Beast
You have to get the front and rear sway bar kit with the transmission mount and a strut brace will improve handling dramatically
Yeah next time I drive launching at 4500 really scare tf out you 🤣🤣
i need that IE hpfp
Have a 2016 S4, same color as yours. Looking into tuning and been leaning towards APR. As soon as you said "If you live in a hot area you can turn your fan on 100% for better cooling". I was sold, Its 120 out where i live lol.
I sit at red light and at the track with a smile on my face while my fans are loud asf lol no one knows it’s a big plus they probably think the cars overheating lol
034 front strut bar is the best suspension mod i have done to my B8.5 Allroad. No need to remove the control arms, like directions say, just tap the holes you put in the strut towers with a good quality drill tap bit. Takes the job from 8 hours to 1 hour. The towers metal is thicker than the provided nuts anyways, so you even get more threads.
I am on Accuair running 20" x 10.5" shoes, and the car use to shimmy/sway/twist when cornering if there was any dips, bumps, or ruts in the corner, now the front end is on rails.
Honestly everyone switching from APR!
gotta let the people know lol i waisted allot of money starting with apr
so the crackles are only active in sport mode? they go away in comfort? i want to get a crackle tune but don’t want it to be annoying to daily drive so having the option to turn off crackles in comfort would be awesome
It’ll pop sometimes in comfort I think it only pops in confront when the stability control is off its perfect for daily driving
Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero!
Not ohhhh 34. 😒
💯
9 minutes of rambling, not getting to the point, too many "ohhumm"s.
So with the fans and launch rev set using the cruise stalk, does the cruise still work? Or do you cruise with full fans?
Also I guess you're running catless?
yea cruise still works & yea i got gutted cats & the fans only turn on when stationary
Try the ECS x brace and street shields
Oh look a lil grasshopper down there 😭😂
🤣🤣🤣
Nice video. My b9 s4 currently has a unitronic stage 1 91 tune. But I bought an 034 stage 2 tune ordered a couple days ago. Unitronic has been neglecting its Audi research for a tcu tune. I can’t wait for the 034 to come in.
Don’t get me wrong, the unitronic tune is awesome for what it is. I’ve had it for 2 years now with no problems. But I like how in depth the 034 guys go into every aspect of their tunes. Even the cooling fan runs cooler in normal conditions.
CAI that is open to the engine bay...
How did you go on removing the APR tune? Did you took it to a certified dealer or what?
You can flash over it
Little does he know that APR offers all of that
I just flashed 034 stage 1 ECU and TCU on my B9 S5 and I love it. I kept reading and seeing so many things about APR that just turned me off to them. I plan on switching maps at least a couple times per year so I need flash at home capability, plus I kept hearing APR is louder (which is a negative for me) and power delivery isn’t smooth. 034 is where it’s at
Hell yea bro that’s why I love them too I flash my car sometimes 3 times a day if I have a race or something 🔥
louder?
@@SVTsteww oui louder. Regardless, APR is not a good tune for the B9 compared to what IE and 034 are doing
@@Lsthnbrd what does oui louder mean?
What about IE tunes what your opinion on that?? I’m new to the car scene tryna figure it out
hey do you know where i can buy a flat bottom audi s5 steering wheel because im gonna buy a 2011 s5 v8 and the stock wheel looks cheap
Check eBay I know they got good prices like less then 1k I think they don’t sell the center piece tho, u can also get that on eBay too tho
What all do you need to go stage 2?
I’m currently going for a Audi S4 2010
I got a video on it but upgraded pulley or pulleys up to you, a cold air intake, I’d recommend gutted cats or test pipes so they don’t blow from the heat or new power and a head exchanger 🙌🔥
Going 034 Stage 1 includes the crackle?
It might I’m not 100% sure
It does only with test pipes or gutted cats
If I had a nickel for every item 034 would mess a product up and ship it out, I'd be a wealthy man.
If I had a nickel for every canned-tune APR sent out that fried a motor, I would be as rich as Bezos
If I had a nickel for every time ECS tuning sent the wrong or damaged item, I would be an unstoppable world super-power.
In what order do you have to go? Single pulley w/tune, dual pulley w/tune then ultra charger?
yea or all at once i did single then crank & uc at the same time
Yo this is an ace video! I'm in the middle of a heat exchanger upgrade and the crank pulley upgrade at the mo (187mm) just wondering which ECU software 034 offer for dual pulley without the throttle body (UC) upgrade? Is it stage 2+ or stage 2 or? All this stage stuff confuses me 😂 do you have the TCU upgrade too? Thanks in advance from the UK!
With out the throttle body is stage 2 and yea I have the tcu tune too it’s great🔥
@@DynamicDemonRacing thanks for the quick reply! 034 is much cheaper than APR too. I just can't see anything on the 034 website for the dual pulley map, only stage 2+ for use with E40 fuel states dual pulley.
This is such hard work to me, never had to put so much research in 😂
It’s zero not O
Waaa
034 and IE really separate themselves from the rest. 🤘 She's a beaut
hell yea i was going to go IE before i went APR then i wish i would have then i seen 034 videos and #'s and had to go with them lol & thanks bro much love
@@DynamicDemonRacing damn I’m on the same boat I’m currently APr stage 2 with dual pulleys and upgraded cooling but wanting to go with IE or O34
@@jesusruiz9500 go 034 i promise u wont regret it bro
Any1 ran the crackle tune with the cats still in place ?💀🤣
034 sounds like the right tune software with features for audi :) im on stage 2 with my A4 B9 But i plan to go with 034 soon
It’s the best I got more videos on it I’ll make a part 2 to this video soon 🔥🔥
Keep it coming! I’ll subscribe & like and wait for more uploads
cooling down while running? does it work tho?
Yea definitely 🔥
I’m very pleased with my 034 files I’m running on my S5!!!
Sick build!! Do you have an upgraded heat exchanger? I am eventually going dual pulley in my Q5 3.0T and I’m thinking of adding one 🤔
Thanks bro yea I got the PLM heat exchanger it’s not that high in price and works good ask & easy to install
@@DynamicDemonRacing Thx bro I’ll look into that one. I wanted the AWE but it’s so expensive
@@ayewhite333 check out Merc Racing great price its what I run in my sq5
what kinda steering wheel is that
It’s a wrap I got a video on it it’s titled the cheapest carbon fiber steering wheel
I have a 2013 S5 without drive select, would the advanced launch control still work?
Idk, it might, you can hit up 034 they’ll respond pretty quick. I have drive select so idk
@@DynamicDemonRacing okay thank you papa
I’m already stage one with another tuner can I just buy the straight stage 2 from 034 without going stage one?
Yes if you have the same car as me it’ll be $750+ for stage 2 check there site 🔥🔥
they will give you a discount if you switch tuner
@@matthews6216 yea
What heat exchanger are you using?
Plm
very helpful thank u
Anytime 🔥🔥🔥
What are you tuned for e85
That shit is clean asf
Good look bro 🔥🔥🔥
Where can I get tune for 2013 A4 b8.5
Go with 034Motorsport look them up
@@DynamicDemonRacing thank you 🙏🏽
🙏💪🏽💪🏽
I launch at like 5500rpm in my b8.5 RS5
034 > IE, APR
All day 🔥
You got test pipes?
Gutted cats 🔥
Did you upgrade the intercooler as well?
No just the heat exchanger it’s pretty much the same thing
great build!! just subbed!!!
I appreciate you bro
nice review man i bought odb11 and disabled that tone permanent while door is open and the engine running super annoying
034 available in Toronto 🇨🇦
Best tune ever 🔥
Have you tried IE at all?
*like* for showing that little button that helps save my sanity
My 2012 a6 3.0t doesn’t have the switch! 😭
Did you lose the cruise control?
nope its the best get it
No, the cruise control goes back to stock function above 10mph. I have some videos posted showing what the launch is like.
I think apr is still the think. 😁 but can they add the fan mod as well?
Does apr has water meth and an at home tool where you can log and re flash wherever 👀
Found it! Thanks for the info broski! 🤘😎
Aye bro where’d you get your steering wheel stitched, or did you do it yourself?
Did it myself takes 2-3 hours it’s easy fr
I got a carbon one on now
Ya able to get a crackle tune on jus a standard stage 1 tune?
yessir
@@DynamicDemonRacing you don’t need test pipes ?
@@Regan-el8qk I think they have a car safe one I can’t remember but I got gutted cats to a stock exhaust and shoot flames and pop
@@DynamicDemonRacing when flashing ur car?ima go stage 1 tonight but I don’t got a battery pack?am I fucked or am I good to still flash it without ?
You’ll be fine I flashed my car maybe 50 times and used a battery charger once lol it won’t die just make sure your Wifi is strong so it’ll load fast
Do you have dragy figures?
I don’t have a dragy yet
Although I got mine as a gift from a friend.
I highly recommend it, it’s such a clever and simple to use device. It’s awesome.
Only issue is where I am, speeding is a big big crime lol so it’s hard to find a location to be able to use it.
Would be good to see some numbers as your car sounds mental on that launch.
Nice video. You lost me at crackle tune
It’s the best because it doesn’t pop unless you downshift in sport so it’s not rice you know what I mean
what do yu think of integrated engineering ?
There good too I know they have a 2-step launch control and there fans run too if you want idk if they have water meth files or how many other files they have. I know 034 has allot of files from experience. One of my subscribers has a IE tattoo and is die hard IE tho
I fried my cats and the shop blames my IE stage 1 tune
APR is just not it with Audi tuning anymore, 034, IE, Unitronic are all better.
Hell yea 🔥🔥
I switched from APR to IE, definitely a smoother ride power wise and DSG shifts.
I have the APR 91 tune for my Stage 2+ right now - is it worth the $700 to swap to 034? 700 bones for like 25 crank hp or so?
Hell yea, I came from stage 2+ Apr and the difference between the power & the advanced launch control is crazy. The first 034 launch felt like there was rockets hooked up to the car lol no exaggeration
@@DynamicDemonRacing Haha word, I'll have to look into upgrading in spring if I manage to hit the drag strip this year! Right now I am looking for new ways to gain a few horses. It's pretty much 034 tune, euro headers and boring out my supercharger left
Right now I have stock headers going into JHM baffled downpipes and AWE touring backend
Hey quick question, what kind of apr mods you got on your car ?
