Power and torque increases may vary. Figures depend on many variables, such as fuel quality, altitude, and vehicle condition. Fuel economy highly depends on driving habits.
ChipWerke piggyback tuning module is the best plug-and-play performance mod for the Audi Q5 3.0T. It improves power and torque without a permanent ECU tune. ChipWerke connects to the intake manifold pressure sensors of the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 of your Q5 and recalibrates the signal flow for increased boost pressure. Stage 1 tune delivers 45 HP over stock, and up to a 35% increase is possible with custom Stage 2 software and supporting bolt-on mods. ChipWerke is completely untraceable and does not cause TD1 code or affect reliability. It comes with a 2-year product warranty and extensive USA-based customer support.

HOW DOES CHIPWERKE PIGGYBACK MODULE WORK
The ChipWerke piggyback tuning module connects to the factory wiring harness to alter the readings from the MAP/IAT sensors at both sides of the 3-liter V6 supercharged TFSI engine. It is a safe and reversible alternative to ECU tuning. ChipWerke intercepts and optimizes the stock signals to modify boost pressure, increasing horsepower and torque.
It works within factory parameters and does not permanently alter the stock ECU, so ChipWerkeboosts power output while retaining OEM reliability. The mapping can be fine-tuned with seven preset levels (-3 to +3) easily via the mobile app to optimize the power increase for your driving style, varying fuel quality, or altitude changes.
EASY PLUG-AND-PLAY INSTALL
The ChipWerke piggyback tuning module connects to the Q5 3.0T’s manifold pressure sensors at each side of the TFSI engine block. It intercepts the factory wiring harness with OEM-quality connectors, and no wire splicing, cutting, or permanent drilling is required. The guide included in the package shows specific installation instructions for your vehicle.
The basic things to consider in all applications are as follows:
Turn off the engine and wait for it to cool down. Leave the driver’s door open for 15 minutes while keeping the keyfob at least 35 feet away from the car to ensure the ECU shuts down completely.
Locate where you want to mount the module. Make sure that it is away from the areas that tend to heat up relatively more.
Make sure the ChipWerke harness is not overly stretched and is protected against water.
Make sure that plugs are securely connected in place and that there are no unused plugs left.

I installed the Chipwerke module in my 2021 Volkswagen Jetta and was impressed with the improved power immediately. I filled the tank when it was quite low on fuel and selected 93 octane for the first time with this car. Now I could use the settings and I selected level 2. What a difference! Now the car behaves like a sport sedan and I love it!
Put this on my mini racecar, as a budget friendly alternative to a ecu tune. I was hoping for alot. And boy did you guys deliver. I have only had it on my car for a few weeks but, what a difference.
I was excited to receive the Chipwerke tuning product for my 2021 MK7 Jetta SE. I was confused at first because it didn't come with instructions. I couldn't tell which harness connectors went where, etc.
In the end I decided they were identical, two pairs exactly the same. I found a YouTube video that convinced me more or less that was correct. The only thing left to worry about is my CEL is on and I can't reset it. If you have ideas please let me know.
Great piggyback, easy to install, I did end up tweaking a dials a little bit to get more boost running. There are some very minimal stutters sometime but it's not an ECU reflash so I expected it. Overall really nice set up and the customer service team is great to work with
I've had my Chipwerke chip installed on my 2015 A6 3.0 for about a month now, and I couldn't be happier. I know results vary from car to car, but you can't go wrong with this product. Especially when you compare it to a $1000+ tune. As soon as I installed it (which took a couple mins), and made a couple runs, I had a huge smile on my face. I didn't expect it to be so noticeable. My car is now extremely aggressive (especially from the launch), and I'm getting 27.5-29 mph on the highway. Highly recommend.
Easy install. Improved mid-range power, and some improvement in mileage. It is a nice compromise, when you don't want to make warranty voiding changes. Worthwhile for the price.
I purchased the chipwerke device for my Audi A6. Definitely woke my Audi up for sure. From a dig, I was beating Scatpacks and 5.0s. Worth the money. I just wished there was a way to remove the speed limiter.
I didn’t notice a big difference the first time I drove my car after install. 3 days of normal driving and a couple off carbon removal accelerations and it’s definitely woken up a beast. I haven’t had any trouble codes.
Easy install and nice boost in power. It’s really nice that it’s removable for when you take it in for maintenance and don’t have to worry about warranty issues. Highly recommended!
I have a 2019 VW GTI. I was somewhat happy with the stock performance, but did not like the lag or the throttle response. I was a little hesitant to buy the ChipWerke module at first since I was afraid of making the GTI more difficult to drive. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised. There is some turbo lag still, but it is much less noticeable. The other plus is the throttle response seems quicker and smoother. Of course, there is also an increase in power. At around 3500 RPM you can really feel the increase in power. The other thing I like about the ChipWerke module is its ability to be removed easily if needed.
There have been a couple of issues I found during installation. Cables were not marked correctly (A and B labels swapped), but that was only a minor issue. Was able to install by matching the connectors, didn't need labels. Instructions were fair, but could be improved.
I'm so very disappointed that my immediate area doesn't have many roads where I can just let it rip! Already a fun drive, the Chipwerke makes a substantial difference, and will keep a smile on your face. Easy to install is an understatement. Simply remove the connectors for two sensors, plug in the Chipwerke, and plug the original connector into the harness. That's it! The full effect took about 40 miles it seems, or a full "cycle". Seems the ECU needed to learn the new expectations of the throttle position and the response the Chipwerke was providing. Go for it! Best bang for your buck, easily removed, and fun as hell!
Amazing, couldn't be happier!
I was a bit skeptical at first but read other people's accounts of their positive experiences on the forums so I thought I'd give it a try. Less than half the price of a flash tune, and I was still under warranty at the time.
Got my stage 1 and was downright amazed. High quality product, using genuine VW/Audi connectors, and easy to install. Way faster and easier process than any other tune. Once it was set up and the car adapted to it, discovered my car was faster than a number of other stage 1 tuned cars! Awesome!
After about a year, I decided to go stage 2, bought a larger crank pulley and intake. I emailed Chipwerke and got a prompt, friendly response from Larry. He walked me through the process of upgrading and I sent back my device to be reprogrammed. Larry kept me informed, and he reprogrammed my device and had it back to me in 1 business day!
After my car adapted to the new program, I'm amazed all over again. The performance is incredible. I can't wait to take it to the track and embarrass everyone else!
This is the one to get, these guys are the real deal!!
Can't go wrong
I'll admit I was extremely worried about a product that wasn't a "true tune". Well to my surprise this product performs really well for the money. Are there a few hiccups I wish could be worked out? Of course but they are so minuscule compared to the advantages of the Chipwerke. The only reason I would pass on this product is if your dual pulley as they don't have software for it. Wonderful product
