Default US Q8 Engine Tuning ABT?
Anyone know if the ABT engine tune kit for the Q7 will work on the Q8 or if a Q8 version will be released?

Isn’t the Q7 supercharged and the Q8 the Turbo? At least that’s what my dealer just told me. He said some of the literature lists the wrong engine so they pulled the shield to look.

I believe you are correct. I am not even sure if it is the same block. It also has considerably more power than the Q7. It is then not at all likely the same tune kit will work.

That’s the 2 Litre 4 Cylinder vs the Supercharged 3 liter 6 that most people buy.

Thanks. I had forgotten that they offered the 4.
