Audi S5 Current Mod List.


Power & Performance

Note on tuning: I run ECU and TCU tunes from multiple tuning companies to test their performance in various conditions from daily driving to track and spirited driving sessions. Feel free to reach out to me with specific questions on any tunes that I have featured here.

Integrated Engineering Downpipe.

Like the way Jeremy’s S5 sounds? Start here. This high quality downpipe was one of the first power mods done to the car. It adds lots of power and sounds amazing.

Engineered as the ultimate downpipe solution for your Audi B9/B9.5 S4 or S5, every detail is maximized to provide the turbo and engine with a completely unrestricted exhaust flow path for up to 45HP & 41TQ (on hybrid turbo setup). The TIG-welded 304 stainless and investment cast body delivers addictive sound, quality finish, effortless install, reliability, and maximized performance for your turbocharged V6.

APR Ignition Coils.

With great power comes great conductivity…uh, or the need for it.

APR Ignition Coils are a direct plug-and-play upgrade to factory coils, and provide 10% greater energy output over OEM, ensuring a stronger and more consistent spark. The commonplace replacement of factory ignition coils with those taken from higher output Audi RS models, such as the 2.5T, is popularly believed to provide greater energy output. However, testing proves that they are no more powerful than basic factory coils found on 1.8T and 2.0T engines.

APR HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP - 2.9T AND 3.0T EA839 (NEW PUMP)

The APR High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) increases maximum volume of fuel the HPFP can deliver by 37% over stock! In doing so, the direct injection fueling system is capable of satisfying fueling requirements set forth by high horsepower setups. This is accomplished by increasing the displacement of the pump using high quality components to exacting tolerances. On the B9 2.9T we achieved an additional 37 AWHP and 50 AWFTLBS over our Stage 1 (E85) ECU Upgrade by adding the pump and running our Stage 1+ (E85) ECU Upgrade!

Chassis & Suspension

H&R Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit

Reduce that body roll and corner like a beast.

The H&R 72056 Sway Bar Kit will reduce body roll, increase lateral stiffness, and improve handling response and feedback on your 2016 + Audi A4, A5 or S5. In addition to reducing body roll, sway bars can be used to tune oversteer or understeer. H&R sway bars are precision crafted for a perfect fit and Urethane / Teflon composite bushings eliminate squeaks with no need for lubrication.

034 Motorsport Transmission Mount Insert

034 Motorsport's Billet Aluminum Transmission Mount Insert for the B9 Audi A4/S4, A5/S5/RS5, Q5/SQ5 & Allroad is designed to fill the large void in the factory transmission mount, and limit transmission movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness into the cabin.

By filling the void in the factory mount, this insert eliminates the associated slop to ensure that you experience crisper shifts and a smoother driving experience.

034 Motorsport Front Strut Brace

The 034Motorsport 034-603-0012 billet aluminum front strut brace chassis reinforcement upgrade replaces the factory strut brace to increase torsional rigidity, resulting in improved steering feel and handling performance. The 034Motorsport Brace is engineered to outperform the stock stamped aluminum part and ensure that suspension geometry is not compromised by chassis flex under hard cornering.
The factory Audi strut brace is made of thin stamped aluminum, allowing for lateral deflection of the strut towers and chassis flex under hard cornering. This deflection can be observed as imprecise steering input and a vague, disconnected feeling from the front end.

034 Motorsport Subframe Mount Insert Kit

The 034Motorsport Billet Aluminum Rear Subframe Mount Insert Kit for B9 Audi A4/S4/A5/S5/RS5 & Allroad is designed to limit movement in the factory rear subframe mounts to maintain proper suspension geometry when cornering, and improve the responsiveness of the rear suspension and differential.

By filling small voids in the four factory mounts as well as limiting vertical movement, this insert set eliminates the associated slop to ensure that you experience a more refined, connected driving experience, especially when driving at the limit. These billet aluminum parts will not pack and wear over time, and offer a lasting performance improvement. Contact Achtuning for pricing!

034 Motorsport Dynamic Lowering Springs

These springs were engineered in-house and tested extensively on 034Motorsport's B9 Audi S4 before release to ensure that they deliver the ideal combination of performance, comfort, and reliability.

Appearance & Wheels

Hartmann FF-070

Flow form wheels with excellent fitment for the S5. This wheel allows for additional width for better traction and no weight penalty.

The Hartmann FF-070-CG wheel is a race-inspired design featuring 5 split spokes which run parallel to the face and then angle inwards toward the centercap. The FF-070-CG wheels are finished with a 3 stage carbon grey paint with a protective satin clearcoat and are designed to accept OEM lug bolts, OEM centercaps, and OEM TPMS senders. This is my summer set.

Hartmann HRS6

I love the way these look for winter driving! THese wheels provide a nice aggressive look and give the car a great appearance during the winter months.

The Hartmann HRS6-091-MA wheel is a OEM-inspired split 5-spoke design with geometric spokes that run parallel to the face and then angle down towards the centercap. The HRS6-091-MA wheels are finished with a dark grey anthracite paint with a protective matte clearcoat. The HRS6-091-MA is designed to accept OEM lug bolts, OEM centercaps, and OEM TPMS senders. This is my winter set.

CarbnLab RS Style Grill For B9 S5/A5 S-Line

The very popular RS honeycomb grill which features parking sensor provisions and camera mounting capability. Fitment 100% guaranteed.

This is not the typical Ebay replica grill!

Our grills are made of pure ABS plastic which makes them more solid and much less likely to fade and crack over time versions compared to the ones made of a blend of ABS and recycled PP sold by drop shipping sellers.

Sportback

2016 -2nd generation

JL 10W1v3-2 2 Ohm

There may be other options, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a better one.

The 10W1v3 is an outstanding choice when space is very tight and amplifier power is moderate. It features shallow mounting depth (4.6 in. / 117 mm) and a compact motor structure, allowing it to comfortably fit in a lot of spaces where a typical 10-inch driver will not. Lacking a pole vent, the rear of the motor structure can be placed directly against an enclosure boundary. Excellent excursion capability and linearity allow it to reproduce sub-bass with shocking extension and quality. Several of JL Audio's proprietary technologies enhance its performance and reliability.

Kicker Key500 Amplifier

This amp is an awesome pair to the JL sub and Basser sub enclosure.

The KEY500.1 is a smart subwoofer amplifier and audio processor in one, featuring an AI-driven DSP (digital signal processing).

Using KICKER’s supplied test tones (below), the KEY automatically analyzes the audio being fed into the amplifier. Once this signal has been analyzed, the amp will automatically fix peaks in the signal coming in and restore the low bass that is typically missing. In a matter of moments, you get a clean, even bass response from your amp!
