2.0T Q5 Upgrades/Mod Advice?

[Ingolstadt Audi]

I am looking for any current 2.0T Q5 owners out there that have done any upgrades/mods. I'm wanting to know the good/bad of what you have done. I am curious about 034 inserts/brace, sway bars, exhaust, turbo muffler delete, catch can, suspension etc. if any of you have tried them.

My Current Setup: 2013 2.0T Q5 Premium Plus; APR Stage II tune; 034 High Flow Cat; NGK PFR7S8EG plugs; and ECS Luft-Technik Intake (ordered).

My regret: Not buying the 3.0T

My conclusion: live, learn, upgrade, buy a 6 cylinder next time.

True there !!! We have all been there . I regret not buying a SQ5 the price difference between a fully loaded 3.0 and sq5 was 8000$ . But never the less a Q5 is a Q5 nothing comes close to it in terms of nimbleness , calm sense of style and sophistication :) .

You have pretty much maxed out the 2.0 with the easy options. K04 is nice but, by the time you purhase and install it would be cheaper to sell it for a used 3.0. I made the same mistake and after 8 months could deal with the 2.0 anymore and traded it in for a 3.0. However when the 2.0 was tuned highway mileage was ridiculously good.

I drive frequently for work so fuel economy was the primary reason for getting the 2.0 over the 3.0. I think I could easily be satisfied with stage 2 improvement so that's probably the next step. What sort of mileage were you obtaining?

Over a 400 mile round trip drive at 74mph (68 degrees out) i averaged ~33.4mpg.

That is amazingly good milage. I got about 24.7mpg on a 180 mile trip (mostly highway) on my 3.0 running on dynamic.

That is almost exactly what i get with my stage 2 3.0 ~24mpg or so. The 2.0 was great for long highway drives.

That's pretty awesome. Almost competes with the TDI.
