man that rs4 is just gorgeous. wish we got them in the states. i would take one over the rs6 any day of the week. i would put tte810 turbo on it to run 9's though
It’s not just tuning it - uprating the intercooler etc plus the suspension is upgraded on the RS4 over the S4 from the factory as are the brakes so you’ve got to factor that in as well
Be careful though i wouldnt really push things too far though. Imo from personal experience dont go past stage 1. If you reallllly need extra performance buy the faster car.
That was fun Pete ! Then I went and watched your video on S4 revisited by Revo for the second time, and loved it again! Keep on the great work! Cheers, Tom
That gearbox software helped the stock 0-60 time as 4.1 is really impressive and 3.5 is really chasing down some big hitters. Did we get a PS/NM figure for the tuned car? Very enjoyable video and you guys got on really well so hopefully more collaboration with REVO in the future.
Brilliant video fella, I adore what Revo do to cars, I’ve had multiple cars with there software on and it’s epic! You’ve made me want to get Revo tuned now on my 8V2 RS3 now 😂🙌👍
Has the S4 got any more mods on it like an intercooler as they run really hot? I own a B9 S4 and was gonna go for the 034 map but would like to know if that car only had an ECU and TCU tune
I think this car has the revo stage 2 software, a new air intake, new intercooler, intercooler pipes and I believe it’s got a full Milltek exhaust system
It has Stage 2 so hardware includes intercooler and airbox. Here is the video I did on the car last week that was link in the video… ruclips.net/video/XD8gq2iHLR4/видео.html
While I never wanted to "race", drag racing might be more than a little addictive. I traded my JCW Roadster in for an Audi TTS (with those same red seats which I love) and it is so much fun.
I might have missed it but what makes it a ‘stage 2’!? Are we talking air filter, decat, exhaust, methanol injection/ bigger intercooler and then the remap on the engine & gearbox?
It has different intercooler and air intake to make it stage 2. It also has a Milltek exhaust 👍 Here is a video I did on it 👍 ruclips.net/video/XD8gq2iHLR4/видео.html
I got a feeling this could be a killer video. Maybe hand the RS4 over to the chaps of REVO and see what they can build from that? Oh,..some footage on the Hayabusa?? Cheers!
The engines are actually very different, even thou on paper they look similar. Lots of inlet, valve, crank and exit side differences as well as the turbo (there is a 5 min 3d view video of the differences floating around from when Audi launched the car that explains it well), so it's not just a tune. Now you can get stage 2 rs4 and they run over 600hp. Awesome cars , both of them
The 45 TFSI and S4 can both be tuned to beat an RS4 in a drag race for significantly less than an RS4. But I dont think the ceiling of the S4 and RS4 are that different, does beg the question why get the RS4 other than value retention and overall better performance (not just power).
Really enjoyed that, I sort of went off Audi for a while, I knew they could be tuned to a good standard, and are quality motors. I was thinking a new Merc AMG A45s, but now I am thinking, a late series 1 S8 face lift, with a tune
Awesome video 👍 I’ve got Revo Stage 1 on my 2022 RSQ3, that made around 468ps and 590NM, but the 0-60s are not as good as the tuned S4, I guess the TCU software helps that aspect, as Revo didn’t do the gearbox software for mine
Gotta remember the S4 is probably a lot aerodynamic and is less weight. Still very quick. I just got a S4 myself and I think it’s rapid stock. Let alone it being tuned!
@@shackleton274 stock without launch was 5.1, with launch was 4.7, since the Revo stage 1 its high 4s without launch, and best was 4.1/4.2 with launch - however its fully dependent on how the launch behaves, it just goes “meh” sometimes, I am planning to get a TCU tune to sort it
@@AudiRSQ would be super keen to hear how it goes after the TCU tune, did you notice a decent bump in in-gear acceleration?...also were you just using the timer in the MMI system?
That was an interesting watch so thanks for that as Audi is my 3rd most favourite Marque after watching quattro's in rallying as a youngster but I have never owned one but I did drive my bride to our wedding reception in her dads A4 after he threw me the keys in the churchyard. I was hoping to not bang it into a wall or something and managed to get there safely so off to a goods start with the in laws. Got my i Pace delivered this morning so JCW off to a new home at least 230 to 400 p.s. is some consolation and it was rain in my eyes!!!!
@@PetrolPed that's what I mean. They test the Audi S4 on stage 2 and supposedly stock. but with an intercooler, downpipe and stock firmware - it’s not stock!
it seems like they are honestly making pretty low power for the platform, normally stage 2 eth maps on the b9/9.5 s4/5 would be putting busses on a stock rs
Running stage 1 revo on my B9 and it makes a huge difference, 420bhp running 99ron fuel for around £800. Stage 2 485bhp for around £4k, a little too expensive for another 65bhp.
That stage 2 0-60 had major bog down in 1st gear where the DSG was making it's mind up whether it could accept the torque or not, if it had the TVS stage 2+ TCU tune on it with the higher clamping force it could probably have hit around 3.2. Cracking figures all round though!
@@channelj3135 Well spotted, have a gold star! Either way, without the gearbox being tuned there's no chance of it being able to put the power down without it being restricted by the OEM software.
Absolutely "jumpped"....NOT "destroyed".
No the s4 just slept lol destroyed
Wow this is a completely different type of content on Petrol Ped, I love it!!
Thanks. I’ve watered to try this for a while. Difficult to shoot and edit but please how it came out 👍
Yes PLEASE!!!!!! Many, many many more runway tests please. So much fun to watch & I could tell you really enjoyed it too
It sure was great fun 👍
man that rs4 is just gorgeous. wish we got them in the states. i would take one over the rs6 any day of the week. i would put tte810 turbo on it to run 9's though
Huge difference in performance after mapping. Reminds me of an old Chris Harris video
That was the plan. The guys from Revo and I loved that video 👍
Chris Harris S4 vid special
Putting a stage on a car can probably be cheaper than buying something that is more powerful from the factory
Definitely not probably 👍
Although you need to factor in insurance costs as well I’m not sure if that balances it out?

Fair play for getting Eddie Hall on the channel. Legend. 😜
LOL 😂

Thanks Tom 👍
Great video Ped! What a duo😍
Glad you like it 👍
omg thorght I'd clicked on car wow 👌 😂
That a complement 👍
@@PetrolPed Indeed it is.Both fab channels.You should do a video together....that would be cool....matt,you and Yanni...😁😁
The stock 0-60’s were impressive!
They sure were 👍
1ft roll out
Brilliant video Petrolped thank you so much hope you are doing well really enjoyed the video very surprising result
Thanks mate 👍
Interesting and well filmed video. Nothing between the cars once the Stage2 tuning was applied. Yes, more runway comparison tests, please.
Thanks Brian 👍
Nice one, Pete! Thanks for that. 👍

Yes. Said that at the beginning 👍
Ahh my bad I missed it and just saw. That was me trying to cook and watch Petrol Ped at the same time…multitasking man style 😂
Ha I so often have Ped on When I’m cooking
😂😂😂
👊👊👊
Brilliant video fella, I adore what Revo do to cars, I’ve had multiple cars with there software on and it’s epic!
You’ve made me want to get Revo tuned now on my 8V2 RS3 now 😂🙌👍
Go for it 😜👍
Nice one - i have always been interested to see this kind of test! how about old fast cars vs new! keep em coming !
Nice idea 👍
Has the S4 got any more mods on it like an intercooler as they run really hot? I own a B9 S4 and was gonna go for the 034 map but would like to know if that car only had an ECU and TCU tune
He said stage 2 so guess not as isn’t intercooler stage 3?
I think this car has the revo stage 2 software, a new air intake, new intercooler, intercooler pipes and I believe it’s got a full Milltek exhaust system

Yep 👍
wonderful Pete...so much fun..thx a million..beautiful rs..my goodness
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
And now I’m going to launch these cars up this runway, as I’m not Mat Watson, and you’re not watching Carwow
😂😂😂
3.5 seconds 0-60 in a family sedan...
That is mental
Yep 👍
Great video and very fun to watch! I believe stage tunes seem to be good for return on investment.
Arvo Sir, I’m well up for this one pal. 👍👍👍🇬🇧
Very interesting vid.Thanks.It looked like a lot of fun.That RS4 is mega quick.
The RS4 was very rapid 👍
Great side by side test guys - love it!
Thanks 👍
Loved that! I'd love an RS4 but for a few grand my S4 can do that! Better start saving...
Indeed 👍
Ped, I have had my quote from Revo to have this setup carbon copied to my S4...you have sold it to me!. Loving your vids and penchant for the S4
Awesome to hear 👍
Isn't a stage 2 a hardware mod as well? So is that S4 really stock stock?
Yes it has hardware so not quite stock but I did say that in the video 🤷♂️👍
Love the Navarra blue and red leather combo!
Epic tune by these guys. I'm now looking for a B9...
That is the dangerous bit 😜😂
i thought stage two on car tuning inc a map and downpipe or intercoolers, intakes (as per my rs7 c8) ...so how would you revert to stock on the track?
It does (intercooler, airbox and pipes etc) and if you listen carefully I say that we obviously can’t change those back 👍
Great video! Do a stock S3 vs stock RS3 and then remap the S3 so it's stage 2 S3 vs stock RS3!
Please do this
Excellent defo do more of that! Always loved the Stef and Ruby one.
That was a fun one to do 👍
While I never wanted to "race", drag racing might be more than a little addictive. I traded my JCW Roadster in for an Audi TTS (with those same red seats which I love) and it is so much fun.
2 of my favorite cars! Good luck with the TTS!!
It was like watching a Mat Watson on car wow channel doing a drag race 😆
I have a Revo stage 1 on my S4 B9. What a difference it makes.
Oh yes 🙌
I might have missed it but what makes it a ‘stage 2’!? Are we talking air filter, decat, exhaust, methanol injection/ bigger intercooler and then the remap on the engine & gearbox?
It has different intercooler and air intake to make it stage 2. It also has a Milltek exhaust 👍 Here is a video I did on it 👍
ruclips.net/video/XD8gq2iHLR4/видео.html
Doesn’t the “stock” S4 still have the supporting mods installed for the stage 2 tune? I.e intercooler, cats?
Yes. I did say we were just returning the ECU to stock but obviously couldn’t change the hardware 👍
Love the red interior on the S4
This is a brilliant way to show the difference between factory specs and aftermarket tuning for cars
Thanks 👍
What additional engine mods needed to be made to allow the S4 to be tuned to Stage 2?
Intercooler, airbox and piping and plugs 👍
Just curious --- why use the PS ('Pferdestarke') term in lieu of the usual "HP" delineation...???
So many manufacturers now state metric horsepower 🤷♂️
How long will dealership take to do a stage 2 upgrade to an s4?
Another banger mate do you know if the S4 had the Revo gearbox stage 2 map as well?
It had their TCU tune 👍
I would have thought the stage 2 S4 would have outperformed the stock RS4 with the difference of the extra 35ps and 30nm of torque
RS4 is strong 💪
I got a feeling this could be a killer video. Maybe hand the RS4 over to the chaps of REVO and see what they can build from that? Oh,..some footage on the Hayabusa?? Cheers!
I hope so. The Busa was with MCN so couldn’t really get my camera out 🥲
What else is done for stage 2?
The S4, lovely comparison, the exhaust note was real nice. 👍🇬🇧
Thanks bud 👍
Really enjoyed that 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great video and comparisons
Glad you enjoyed it
Imagine that RS4 if Revo breathed on it, just even the TCU upgrade would be mental!
Oh yes 😳
Absolutely! A stage 2 RS4 wagon would surly be all the car you ever need! 🤪
There's probably not much reserve left for RS4 tune since it's almost same engine as S4. Otherwise revo surely would come up with a tune
@@dgukov You could well be right there, mate.
The engines are actually very different, even thou on paper they look similar. Lots of inlet, valve, crank and exit side differences as well as the turbo (there is a 5 min 3d view video of the differences floating around from when Audi launched the car that explains it well), so it's not just a tune. Now you can get stage 2 rs4 and they run over 600hp. Awesome cars , both of them
Great video Pete, yes more please. By the way you got my name wrong on the mid week 180!! I'll for give you!!
Sorry bud 😬
Both look like amazing cars, I wonder what the difference would be if it was an S4 estate.
Great test! Interesting results, those 0-60 times are rapid!
They sure were 👍
The 45 TFSI and S4 can both be tuned to beat an RS4 in a drag race for significantly less than an RS4.
But I dont think the ceiling of the S4 and RS4 are that different, does beg the question why get the RS4 other than value retention and overall better performance (not just power).
No tuning for RS4? Would be good to see what happens between tuned rs4 and tuned s4.
Not sure Audi UK would have been too impressed if I did that 😂
Well that looked like fun. Yes would like to see more of the same. Who doesn't like a drag race.
I’ll certainly try 👍
I'm getting Deja Vu Vibes from when "The Drive" did the exact same thing with Chris Harris in the Revo B8 S4 VS RS4...
That was the plan 👍
I would have liked to have seen them make three trips in the 0-60mph timeout to get out the average. Otherwise, a very entertaining video, thank you.
That would have been nice to do but we didn’t have time sadly 😢
Great vid!! Really interesting results. All at a lot less money for the S4, what fitment are those wheels on the S4 and are they spaced?
They are by REVO. Lightweight and no spacers 👍
RS4/5 are so underrated and appreciated
Really enjoyed that, I sort of went off Audi for a while, I knew they could be tuned to a good standard, and are quality motors. I was thinking a new Merc AMG A45s, but now I am thinking, a late series 1 S8 face lift, with a tune

Hi Ped
Yes enjoyed that one would support similar in the future. S4 with tune make a good Q car.
It sure does 👍
Mod list for the Stage 2 please
Purchasing an s4 avant soon, so throughly enjoyed this
Great video - please do one on the B9 RS5 and perhaps a drag race with one. Cheers
Awesome video 👍 I’ve got Revo Stage 1 on my 2022 RSQ3, that made around 468ps and 590NM, but the 0-60s are not as good as the tuned S4, I guess the TCU software helps that aspect, as Revo didn’t do the gearbox software for mine

Sorry to hear that but the iPace is a great car 👍
Great content!! But you had a way bigger line why use just the boring 1/4 mile?!
Time available and safe breaking distance meant 1/4 miles was best 👍
Now tune the RS4?
How can they put the s4 to "stock" if stage2 tune required intercooler,downpipe,intake etc.....
I explained that in the video 🤷♂️
How you may call stock S4, if it should be with downpipe and intercooler for stage 2? With this config and stock ecu its not a stock car!
Yes but you can’t quickly remove an intercooler and down pipe for comparison can you 🤷♂️
@@PetrolPed that's what I mean. They test the Audi S4 on stage 2 and supposedly stock. but with an intercooler, downpipe and stock firmware - it’s not stock!
it seems like they are honestly making pretty low power for the platform, normally stage 2 eth maps on the b9/9.5 s4/5 would be putting busses on a stock rs
Was it just me or were you slightly slow on the drop against the s4 ped?
No I was slow 😂
Running stage 1 revo on my B9 and it makes a huge difference, 420bhp running 99ron fuel for around £800.
Stage 2 485bhp for around £4k, a little too expensive for another 65bhp.
👍
You get a heap of hardware mods with those 4K though, which make everything breathing much more easily.
Price of this on a s4 b9 parts and labour to fit?
Fun video, yes please do some more!!
I’ll try 👍
The RS4 is still a great car but not the colour for me, the geqrbox tune on the S4 was the most impressive bit .
It really was 👍
You got 1ft roll out enabled on that vbox?
Not sure to be honest. Only Tesla bother with that 😜😂
@@PetrolPed on your vbox top left corner of screen doesn’t it say 1ft?
You are calling the RS4 "the very latest RS4" and S4 "B9 S4" like they're not both B9. Why?
The very latest S4 is a B9 facelift with a Diesel engine
What happened to bhp and lbs ft of torque figures?
The Metric System 😜😂
I remember when chris harris did this about 10 years ago with B8 S4 vs RS4
So did we. It’s what inspired this video 👍
You are a very good videographer.🤗❤
Thanks 👍
Put a tune on a car is all good and well but doesn't the RS models have better suspension and brakes compared to the lesser S models ?
Yes 👍
O yea the way to go 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
👍
Yes drag race, do lots more of these great
I’ll try 👍
Didn’t know Eddie hall started doing car reviews 😂
LOL 😂
Great!! Imagine a RS4 sedan…😍
Oh yes 🙌
@@PetrolPed could you make this blue RS4 vs RS3 (old and new) please?
That stage 2 0-60 had major bog down in 1st gear where the DSG was making it's mind up whether it could accept the torque or not, if it had the TVS stage 2+ TCU tune on it with the higher clamping force it could probably have hit around 3.2. Cracking figures all round though!
B9 does not have a DSG. It's the ZF8.
@@channelj3135 Well spotted, have a gold star!
Either way, without the gearbox being tuned there's no chance of it being able to put the power down without it being restricted by the OEM software.
They should but stage1 on the rs4 and then see who will win I can say I think the rs4 would win
I’m sure it would. Not sure Audi would be too impressed 😂
Rs4 is 80k used now..2013 s4 24k..s3 stage 3 still 60k plus price difference
still i would rather buy a rs4 and go stage 1 because even with less power its still faster than the s4 with stage 2
Wish they made these rs4 in the states 😢
Put an rs6 c6 with the v10 ,make stage 1 and its enough for destroys 99%cars in this planet😂
I know I'm being old school but can we have the equivalent bhp and lbs/ft figures please?
Keep up the good work, excellent content as usual.
I’ll do my best 👍
I have always loved the RS4.🤜🤛
Me too 👌
Great race Ped. Let’s have some more!
I’ll try 👍
You should try the 034 motorsport map on paper it makes it faster than the RS5
First!! Evening all! Hope everyone is doing well and has a lovely weekend.
