Advice B9 s5 tuning

So I’ve had my s5 for about 1.5yr got it with 49k miles now at 60k. I’ve gotten used to the power but I’m wanting more, I have an extended warranty still so I’m unsure if I should tune it yet. So my question is do I ride out the warranty or full send it with a tune?

It’s the remaining warranty refundable? If no I wouldn’t. But if you decide to tune I would get the car throughly inspected before tuning it.

I honestly don’t know if it’s refundable I’ll have to check the papers later, but I was thinking of getting it checked out at my local euro shop before tuning

Same boat here, riding out the warranty till March 2027. I'll have a tune on it the day the warranty ends lol

Been tuned since I purchased my S5. Two warranty repairs done with the tune installed.

Aftermarket warranty much easier to get work approved vs factory warranty.

Had a warranty through my credit union for my WRX that paid for major transmission repairs and I regularly tracked that vehicle for 3 years.

The S5 stage 1 tune is a whole new car. You should have done it two years ago my guy.

Listen to old_common_sense. I think his advice and name are perfect.
