Darkside Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi all, Have been away for a while. Just got a A5 3.0 tdi and need the knowledge base of TS! Had Revo on my A4 and left the RS4 standard, but whats the current situation with A5's? Lots of people seem to use Superchips? Who else to look at? Maybe thinking Stage 2 Map... Is DPF removal advised? Audi A5 3.0TDi Quattro 2008 DPF Removal Session « Sinspeed Is the DPF seperate to the CAT? Can you remove both? From what i've read that should give about 310bhp? What sort of cost or other options to get to this stage? intercooler? fuel pumps? Don't want to go mad with cost, would just like to breach 300bhp... Any advice would be must appreciated!

Mook Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Get rid of the DPF and get it remapped. You won't need to look at fuel pump upgrades. Talk to Shark_90 on here about your remap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 You won't reach 300hp but you can get close. On a DPF car there is no cat, removing the DPF can really help the car breath as the restriction is massive. If you'd like a review of the tuner you mentioned vs our 3.0TDI remap, ask roberto1954 as he is now running our map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi Shark is it best to get the DPF removed first then have a custom map to take into consideration this change? Read that removing the DPF added 35bhp, if a map is adding 50-55 isn't this the 310? Or are these gain figures incorporating the A5 standard running more power (250-260 over the stated 240 ) giving a more likely re-map only 20-30bhp gain? Regards What kind of money is your service?

kenny_boon Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hi Ben, i see your web page says around 270bhp for the 3.0tdi, what did you manage from roberto1954's car? thanks mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read that removing the DPF added 35bhp, if a map is adding 50-55 isn't this the 310? Absolutely no chance that removing the DPF gains 35hp. Even with the DPF removed you'd have to find a very friendly dyno to break 300hp. I'll drop you a PM about our DPF removal service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the "very-ballistic" map it managed 14.7 quarter mile at GTI International :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny_boon Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 thanks mate so im guessing your maps will be on par with the 280-295bhp the others like aps/superchips etc offer? only asking as there was a chap on another forum asking and i said to check you out as you get great rep and he was questioning the 270bhp?

Kenny - I can get 295 out of your 3.0 TDI no problem - I'll just stick it on an over-optimistic dyno Figures are figures - it's how the car drives and I can just about guarantee that if you stuck a 295bhp Superchipped car alongside a Shark's 280bhp car and they'd match each other I ran a Shark map on my 1.8T Passat and have been out in his Octavia vRS and a load of other cars he's mapped and they're both very driveable.
