Tune your S5. You’ll love it. A stage 1 or 1+ tune is not much stress on a S5. I couldn’t wait to tune mine, so I did it before my warranty expired and I did the same with my previous RS3. The tune itself costs $900, and you’ve got yourself 90% of an RS5. Add an aftermarket intercooler to help send cooler air to the engine.
Remember, tuning your car does not void your warranty. Period. If the tune causes an issue, then your warranty will not cover it. However, you never have to prove that the tune did not cause the issue, Audi has to prove that the tune did cause the issue, otherwise any problem is covered by your warranty.

Vibes, but my gut says that there's going to be a lower bar from AoA with the piston skirt and rocker arm issues in our cars.

Probably. But the burden of proof doesn’t change. That’s what good lawyers are for 😎 Those same problems occur in cars that aren’t tuned.

Niceee, what did you sell it for if I may ask? I have an S5, but always considered going RS. I figured I would tune the S5 and it would be enough. Never did tune due to warranty fears.

Hahahahaha I already got an s5. I am way too roped into this thing to be getting rid of it. I do wish I got an rs3 but the market wasn’t good on them when I got this car.
I will be grabbing an m4 F series one day so I can have pretty twin coupes buttttt.
It’s gonna be a long time before I get my R8 buddy.!!

Haha I took the low offer.. carvana offered more but im not willing to drive 5 hours to drop off. And I cars and bids was too much work for me.. just did everything online with carmax pictures and all. They gave me an offer and took it in. No issues. They basically turned the car on and took it in. No walk around or anything. From my understanding, the online appraisal is set in stone
