Sorry PETA...I am only kidding about my Beagle.

Don't worry--it'll be so worth it when the time is right. I can't wait until it's fully broken in and it's over that 'block learning' phase. I also want to try going head to head with some A4/5s and see how the Q holds.

I think it would be interesting to now go head to head against a 3.2FSI Q5.

I imagine it would be pretty close. I don't think I'd win against your 3.0 TDI though

. I wish we had them in the U.S.

I took a couple videos of the Q5 2.0T with GIAC dragging against a Q7 3.0 Supercharged. I feel it mostly has to do with weight that the Q5 triumphed, but have a look and let me know what you think.

First video was a three honk race from 70km/h, the second was a drag from a traffic light with a crappy start but the Q5 caught up.

And again, my apologies, my videos are terrible quality.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. The 3.0TDI is quite rapid when you get stuck into it but I suspect your chip'd 2.0TFSI would be a match.

I don't know. The 0-60 for the Q5 3.0 TDI is clocked at 6.5 seconds, while the stock 2.0T is clocked at 7 seconds. Not sure if the tune alone can shave off 0.5 seconds, but if it did that'd be incredible.

Since I have the switcher, I was able to test stock and tune performance back to back. For me, I don't really feel much until 2500-3000 rpms. Not sure if anyone else feels the same way.

And Birdman, awesome comparative vids. Any idea what your new 0-60 time is?
