I tried finding examples myself,but didn't come across any. Stasis does engine tuning,but it's only for the 2.0,and MTM does tuning also,just not for the 3.2TFSI.
My new Audi Q5 3.2 Quattro S-tronic

My gurus have spoken: It's not easy to turbocharge the 3.2 engine and it's done only by a few individuals throughout Europe and the results are not worth the money spent. On the other hand, there are various tuning companies that supercharge (ie. compressor) this engine with a very good outcome. If I recall correctly, they mentioned MTM as an example.
I hope I helped
Thanx!
Looks like I'm gonna spend my money on the S-line front bumper and the grille, and also a sportier exhaust system. And that's it. Im' not gonna do anything with this engine. If anything, I will upgrade myself to the Q5S when it does come.

Today, I came across a video on the net, that shows a Q5 3.2 S-line in the US, with a Magnaflow sports exhaust system.
I literally was speechless when I saw the video. This is exactly how I want my Q5 to sound!
And this Q5 is also one of the hottest I've seen so far. Wouldnt lower mine here in the middle east, where I need the car to be an SUV and not lower it to much, but those rims wouldnt hurt
Listen to this!

I found out that there is some computer program upgrade for the engine, that gives extra 10-15hp. I will get that now in Sweden when I go visit, and program it when I come back.
Still looking for that exhaust system... :/
Yesterday, I got a shock when a Toyota Avalon 2012 wanted to race with me. I thought I would go easy on him, and let him floor it before me. I thought it had like 200hp or so. I was in absolute shock when I just couldnt catch him. He was pulling away inch by inch. I was like WTF!? Then, we did a standing start and I smoked him. But seriously, that thing is fast.. A Toyota?? Then I looked it up on the internet, and a 2012 model has 268hp and doeas 0-100km/ in 6,7 seconds... Damn! No wonder he pulled away, cause probably in higher speeds the Q5s size is a problem..
Well, you learn something every day. Those japanese carmakers is nothing to mess around nowadays. Saw that the new Nissan Maxima has 290hp and does 0-100 in 5,7 seconds.. Damn! What's going on? Do I have to get an S5 now to smoke them?
Q5S...where are you???

So, I have own this car for 5 months now. I've done 5000km with it, and I gotta tell you that it changed my opinion about cars completely. I've always been a "normal sedan / sports car" guy, and never paid that much attention to SUVs. But this car has now changed my opinion fully. It's such an amazing vehicle. I love to sit a little bit higher. I love the fact that I can go offroad anytime I want. I love the fact the the engine is really superb in terms of responce and the car is really really fast!
I didnt have my car for 3 days, cause some dumbass spratched a little of my rear bumper and it was replaced by the company. I got a A5 2.0T for 3 days. And even though the car is beautiful, I was really not comfortible with sitting so "low", and especially here in Doha, you feel really small among these Land Cruisers, Escalades en LX570s when you drive a normal sedan. I really changed my opinion about my next car. It wont be a S8 V10 or a RS4 B7. Its gonna for sure be the upcoming Q5 3.0T or Q5 S. The car is really perfection. Im sold.

No it didn't. I just love the direct kick from the 3.2 FSI engine with the S-Tronic gearbox in the Q5. It feels so macho! The A5 was nice, but it felt far away as fast as the Q5. You just feel more manly in the Q5. Whenever you get the chance, you should drive one, to understand what Im feeling. The 3.2 engine is a diamond! And the car itself is amazing. Wish it was easier to get stuff for it here in Doha though.
Just to compare prices: In Sweden, I can get brand new 21" rims with tyres for 1200 Euro. Here, in Doha, there is no chance to go under 3000 Euro for that. Its crazy!!!!
I wish also to get a sport filter, sport exhaust system... Which could take 4-5 days in sweden for a good price. Here, impossible. All they got are stuff for their Land Cruizers and American cars

Now I got a little headache.
One of my friends friend, who heard that I am an Audi freak, has a 2008 RS4 B7 Sedan with only 34 000 km. And guess what? He wants to trade it with my 2010 Q5 3.2 Quattro S-Tronic with 22 000km on the stand.
If it would have been Europe, I wouldnt hasitate a second, since the RS4 is one of my wet dreams. But this is Doha we are talking about... Where you need a SUV... Headache!

Did you consider an A4 or A6 Allroad when buying your Q5?
Tumbo
RPM Ruler
Nah, I think the Q5 is a much better looking car. I wanted more of an SUV, then a "Avant on stereoids".

Cant criticise your choice, the Q5 is far better looking than both the X3 and GLK

Thanks!
If I decide to keep it a little more, or trade it in for the B7 RS4 '08 (as you can read above), then I will put the S-line grille and front bumper and 21" wheels. I am really struggling with the non-S-line front bumper which makes the car looks to "nice". I love the side and rear profile, but want to make the front more agressive.
