Chip tuning for Audi Q5 2.0 TDI

Seletron Performance

Audi Q5 Chip Tuners; two 2000TDI in comparison.

 

We have already talked about how to tune the Audi Q5, partly because it is one of the most popular and best-selling SUVs in recent years in direct competition with the Mercedes GLC (which we have already talked about in terms of chip tuning modules). We have talked both about how to boost the performance of Audi turbodiesels and how to tune turbo-petrols, including those mounted on Q5s.

 

Today we want to compare two 2-liter common-rail engines mounted on Q5s with very different performances. The first engine is the 2.0TDI 150hp, which is the one chosen probably by the quietest users (fathers of families, company cars, commercial agents, and younger folks). The other is the Q5 40TDI, which still mounts a 2-liter 4-cylinder but with 204hp power. Frequently, when in the process of choosing which to buy, people opt for the less powerful version. Then, as the weeks go by, they realize that the Audi SUV has a great setup, one of the best all-wheel drives in the world, good brakes, and a great automatic transmission, yet the 150hp is a little on the small side. So, first, they ask themselves, "Why didn't I buy the Q5 with a little more horsepower?"...then they ask, "How can I increase the power of my Q5?"

 

Audi's common-rails are certainly among the best on the market. The 2-liter has an in-line 4-cylinder architecture, two overhead cam axles, four valves per cylinder, a turbocharger with variable geometry, and in some models, the intercooler is a refined air-water model embedded in the intake manifold. The 150hp Q5 has a maximum torque of 320Nm (not a bad value, but we are talking about an excellent all-wheel drive and a chassis designed for much, much higher powers). The 40TDI, on the other hand, delivers 204hp with a maximum torque of an impressive 400Nm. There are also other 2-liter TDIs with intermediate powers available for the Q5: 170hp, 177hp, 184hp, 190hp. These are practically the same power ratings chosen by BMW, another direct competitor with its SUVs.

 

 

How can the power of the Audi Q5 2.0TDI 150hp and the Q5 40TDI be increased?

Once again, we have prepared a dedicated kit that includes the duly programmed CHIPBOX chip tuning unit and specialized automotive wiring harnesses with genuine Audi connectors. The assembly on the Q5 is also very simple and requires no mechanical changes, no irreversible modifications, and no reprogramming of the original ECU is necessary. Just connect the wiring harnesses from our kit to the Q5 engine, an operation clearly described in the instructions complete with photos included with every kit we supply. Everything can be restored to factory condition in a matter of minutes without leaving a trace. What about the increases in power and torque? For the less powerful 150hp Q5, we get a +29hp increase in power and +60Nm in maximum torque, values that bring the turbo diesel's motive force to a higher and more suitable 380Nm! If we talk about the more powerful 40TDI, the increase in power is +26hp with an increase of +54Nm in maximum torque for a final value of 454Nm, a superb result that gets pumped into the 4-wheel drive.

 

One of the important advantages is that it is possible to restore the engine to factory conditions without having to go back to the tuner as you would with an ECU remapping. The installation of the external CHIPBOX chip tuning module leaves no traces of the tuning (as opposed to many ECU REMAPPINGS that indelibly record an overwriting of the internal maps). The CHIPBOX chip tuner CONNECT version even allows you to select your Q5's stock power or increased power from your Smartphone at any time! A special APP communicates between your Smartphone and chip tuning unit via Bluetooth technology, so the output of your Audi Q5's turbodiesel engine is at your fingertips and can be adjusted to suit your driving needs!

 

Please note that this is an Italian product made with the best automotive components (further proof is the TUV Austria Certification), a SELETRON warranty, and complete instructions with photos of the specific engine for easy assembly/disassembly. The answer to your question, "How can I increase the power of my Q5?" is with CHIPBOX!

To increase the responsiveness of your Q5 common-rail, you can also order the PEDALBOOSTER. It connects effortlessly to the accelerator pedal (again with genuine connectors), making the engine much more responsive. Keep in mind that both the PEDALBOOSTER and CHIPBOX kits can be quickly removed to bring everything back to standard performance, all without leaving any kind of trace. CHIPBOX + PEDALBOOSTER make your Audi Q5 far more responsive and lively thanks to the improved power-to-weight ratio, the increased torque available even at low to mid-range engine speeds, and the engine's responsiveness to accelerator pedal commands. PEDALBOOSTER can also be ordered in a CONNECT version so it can be controlled from your Smartphone! What are you waiting for?
