The petrol SQ5 makes 354hp and 500Nm from its 3.0 TFSI V6, the same single-turbo engine used in the S4 and S5. Our Stage 1 calibration takes it to around 400hp and 650Nm, and it is the torque that transforms the car, arriving earlier and pulling harder through the mid-range. This 2018 car spent a full day with us on the 4WD linked dyno while the map was developed, and the original file is kept for a return to standard.
Measured on our Mustang AWD rolling road in Maidstone. Wheel figures, drivetrain loss added for the flywheel numbers.People know Audi for their amazing performance whilst maintaining comfort and functionality inside the cockpit. The SQ5 is the perfect example of this. Where most manufactures are looking for diesel engines to go in their SUV range, Audi went for a more traditional performance option. The 3.0L Turbo Petrol engine pushes 350BHP out of the factory, and the interior is typical of Audi, being top-class. In fact it’s the same engine you would find in the S5 and even some Porsche models! If you are the type of person who wants to be comfortable and stylish but occasionally beat most other cars off the lights, maybe the SQ5 is your car. That being said, why would you want our Audi SQ5 tuning package? Well you can never have too much power! With our Stage 1 performance software alone, we get more power and, more importantly, a lot more torque.
Stock Figures
We had this 2018 SQ5 in with us for a whole day so that we could develop and refine the map to the best it can be. After running our diagnostics and establishing that everything was working as intended, we strapped the car to the dyno. We found that the car was actually running 375BHP and 547Nm torque! There’s clearly a huge difference there compared to what Audi claim the car should make! This is typical of German car manufacturers as they tend to downplay their figures.
Despite this, we know from experience that this mighty engine can certainly make even more power than this with our stage 1 performance software!
Audi SQ5 Tuning Figures
We spent all day analysing the hundreds of maps within the ECU to make the perfect tune. We transformed this car completely, with the SQ5 making 411BHP and 674Nm torque! That’s nearly 60BHP and 174Nm torque over what the manufacturers quoted! We exceeded the customers expectations with the tune with not only more power but enhanced drivability also! After driving it up and down the road, popped back in to us just to say how different the car felt now! This is particularly thanks to the smoother power and torque curves as shown on the graph. The remap has certainly improved the car even when driving around town or cruising on the motorway. We highly recommend a performance tune like this on any SUV for a much improved ride and more pulling power for those steep hills!

Questions we get asked
Is this the petrol or diesel SQ5?
This page covers the 3.0 TFSI petrol. The later 3.0 TDI diesel SQ5 uses a different engine and calibration, which we also tune; ask us for figures on that version.
Why did the car make more than Audi's figure before it was tuned?
Manufacturers quote a conservative minimum and individual engines vary, so a healthy example will usually read above the brochure figure on the dyno. We baseline every car before writing the calibration so the gain we quote is real.
Does the SQ5 need hardware for Stage 1?
No. Stage 1 is software only, programmed through the OBD port. The standard turbo, intercooler and gearbox have enough margin for this level.
