Before you order
What you need to tune your Audi A4 / A5 / A6 / Q5 2.0 TFSI (B8 / C7)
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 MED17.5.2 / MED17.1 / MED17.1.1. 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 / Q5 2.0 TFSI (B8 / C7) 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.
