2011 A5 - ECU upgrade + exhaust
 

I got both ECU upgrade and exhaust through Stasis in Bellevue, WA a few months ago; there is a significant difference in boost as others have described!

Since I got both together, I don't have a comparison from ECU-only vs. ECU+exhaust, but the sound is much more acceptable now.

I can post some audio later if others are interested.

My problem now is that my A5 is back at the dealer due to oil consumption problems.

I asked Stasis about it and they say the 2.0L T engine, particularly FSI model is notorious for buring through oil, sometimes as much as 1qt per month on the STOCK model! Yesterday the dealer replaced an oil seal and separator to try to address it. Not sure if others are experiencing this, I'm at 12k miles.

There are two phases to the oil consumption test; the first is a calibration, then they have you drive 650-1k miles, then phase 2 (mine had the changes noted above), and I'm in the process of driving another 650-1k miles before they do another evaluation to see if their fixes worked. I'll follow-up after the third visit in the next couple weeks.

I would love to hear some audio! Please also keep us up to date on the oil consumption issue.

it would be great if you upload a youtube video for the audio part! also, do you think the car accelerates significantly quicker as compared to the stock settings? btw, do you have a manual or auto tranny?
i am hoping to go for a dual exhaust setting soon on my 2.0T manual.

I had a lot of work done at JBS in chesterfield and can thoroughly recommend them for a "proper" remap - Had my leon up to stage 2 there with thousands spend and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Speak to Seb and mention the name "Mr Meats" and he may even do you a discount!

Cheers

Auto (8-speed) -- yes, it is significantly quicker to 60-80-100 :) I spent about $3k for the upgrades together, but I drive over 100 miles a day on single lane roads so the added boost for passing has been great.

sounds great!! there is a 'deep' feel to it! great job :) thanks for uploading the video

FYI, looks like the fixes did the trick; no more oil lights and I'm over 16k miles. now.
