I know it’s a few years later; but how did the remap go?

About to take delivery of 2015 Q5 177; considering basic remap by Quantum adding 30 bop and 80nm.

Anyone any opinions?
Quantum have taken a lot of slating in the VW Group work recently, lots of stories of poor customer service, poor files etc.

Stick to known VAG tuners.

Shark performance were outstanding for me several years ago, made my old 170 bhp octavia vrs a different car with usable performance & real mpg improvements on like for like runs before & after. Great customer service & after care. Ask for Ben, he runs/ran the shop and couldn't have done more for me.

Make sure you declare it to insurance, they can & sometimes do check. Not worth the risk.


If still in doubt ask on any if the big VAG forums, like briskoda for recommendations.
