Maybe a jetta
Does anyone have any draggy / vbox times
1/4 mile
0-60
60-130

I'm looking for a tune for my 2015 Q5 TDI, but I want the best bang for the buck and more importantly, I want to still pass CA smog. I'm not looking to do any mods to the car other than the chip. My wife complains that the power and MPG are gone since the "fix" from VW.

What's out there?

I won't here is
Malone
APR

who else?

There is also Kerma, and a few others.

I have Stage 2 Malone Tune on my 2015 Q5 TDI w/ all emissions intact. I just got my draggy. I was going to do a pull or two with it. Just waiting on my sway bar bushings, once I do those I'll take a draggy and let you know.

I also ordered the DTUK tranny tune, and I was going to Dragy the car as is, then tranny tune, drive the 100 or so miles for break-in, and then dragy again.

My poly bushings should be arriving in the next few days, I'll do them, and get back to you with the initial dragy run for the stage 2 w/ emissions. I'm unfortunately not flashing back to stock because the readiness monitors take forever to clear... hahahah...

Ok. Launched it 3 times. All about the same.


0-30 - 1.83
0-60 - 5.50s

This is the best I can do in my area. My q5 is a premium plus with most of the extra optioned items from the factory. stock Q5 TDI doing 0-60 in the range of 5.8- 6.5 s and that's pre-dieselgate. They got slower after. This is 100% emission compliant post dieselgate w/ stage 2 malone.

Were you up shifting at 3700 rpms?

I did not. I do not have a spot to do that here... i pulled earIy wasnt watching the dragy or I might have kept pulling. 1/8th was 8.9s@77.12 mph, 1000ft 11.66s @ 88.12, 1/4 was 14.06 @ 88.71.... so I could have done way better the power drops on the graph right at 88. Basically i realized how fast I was going a d pulled back. For me to get the 1/4... i need to go to the track....
