Can you also lift it, straight pipe it, put on mud tires and install chrome trucker girl mud flaps? That's the only way I can condone this.

2014 Q5 has the 3rd gen EA888? I wasn't sure.
But yeah, Stage 1 APR and done. Hopefully you get something around 260+ at the crank.
I don't think it is odd at all. Audi engines and APR work very well together at an extremely good price.
Why NOT chip it for more power? I would have done it inside the first 6 months.

Another option. May be go to an Audi forum and see what other owners can suggest between these options.
go see Colin @ Calgary Autoworks, they Tune in house for Audi/Vw

If you have any intention of selling the vehicle in the short term I wouldn’t bother.
I personally wouldn’t touch a chipped Audi on the used market.
Just my $0.02

Audi is such stickler with their warranty, they wouldn't even let us put an aftermarket car starter and didn't offer one themselves. Anyway, if you've owned it 5 years, warranty is long gone I am guessing? If so, go for it by all means.

Unless you plan to drive it into the ground, and pay for all maintenance from here on out... my vote is no chip.
He says he has had it for 5 years. I thought Audi warranty was 4 years.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
"Nearly 5 years"
Also lots of people get extended warranty these days. Some even get the extended then still chip it immediately.
The resale hit is real as well which definitely applied in this case.

I’m not too familiar with Audi, if you flash back to stock and remove the tuner, would they be able to tell that it was ever chipped in the first place?

If it’s the same engine code and model architecture as a 15 Golf you can also consider the neuspeed chip. Completely plug n play. I risked it on my brand new GTI for 2 years, no issues whatsoever and power gains as advertised.

You can restore the ecu back to factory yes, but you cannot resell the install. Also as mentioned, your flash counter will be flagged permanently. Im not saying don't do it, im just saying know what you are up against before you do.
