Before you order
What you need to tune your Audi A4 / A5 / A6 / A7 / A8 / Q5 3.0 TFSI
An HP Tuners interface. We recommend the MPVI4. You do the reading and the flashing yourself, on your own car — our step-by-step guide covers buying and setting it up.
HP Tuners credits for the SIMOS8.4 / SIMOS8.5. Reading, logging and editing are free; you only spend credits the first time you write a tune to the car. Check the exact number for your Audi A4 / A5 / A6 / A7 / A8 / Q5 3.0 TFSI (supercharged) on HP Tuners' supported-vehicle list before you buy.
A laptop with VCM Suite. HP Tuners' software is a free download once you have an account.
Your stock file and a datalog. The stock file is what we tune and your backup; the datalog shows us what your engine is actually doing, which is what makes the first file right.
How it works

A tuner builds it by hand. Your tune comes back within three hours. Six tuners work three shifts, so the desk is staffed around the clock.
Flash, log, refine — then pay. Flash it, send a log from the drive, and we revise it if needed: 2 revisions are free, each back within three hours. You pay once the tune is delivered.
