Transmission insert install. 30 minute job, or 2 beers.

Got my Forge recirc valve in the mail today. Chose the black finish instead of chrome. Hoping to install my airmatic lowering links this week also, they have been sitting in my trunk for a few months. Next on the mods list hopefully a Redstar DP and some new wheels.

Come on, Mops. We can't have you owning all of the Stickies!

I'm really considering trading the A7 in and getting back into a Q, but seeing all of the sexy SQ5's on here makes me think twice about being rational and going hybrid...

I loved having the factory air ride on the Macan, and lowering it via software instead of having to install springs was just so damn cool.

Damn.

This is my second car with air suspension, first was a Mercedes back in 2011. All I can say is the ease of lowering with air suspension is the best part.

Purchased the APR Stage 1 tune today! Waiting on FedEx to pick up the ECU. Super easy to take out the ECU, and APR has a "sale" atm. 1169.99 instead of 1299.99.

Curious who is running an intercooler and what brand? I know there are a few options for the B9 SQ5 like Forge or AWE. Looking for any feedback or recommendations.

I'm curious about the same thing. The stock intercooler is small, with the aftermarket option looking like you triple or quadruple the surface area, fin stack. So in theory not sure there would be much difference across brands as long as they were similar size. I only know of phillyquattro that looks to have a AWE hiding behind the grill. Perhaps he can chime in..

[DiscoDan]

APR already has an intercooler for the S4 and they report it will be the exact same one for the SQ5, they're getting the mounting and install stuff figured out and last report a release this year.

I’ll be ordering a Forge unit later this month. Ordered one for a local B9 S4 customer. Excited to check it out.


MOPS on the Move!

FYI - KW has released their V1 coilover for the B9 Q/SQ5. Plug and play on the Q5 without adaptive dampers. Vehicles equipped with adaptive dampers will need the cancellation kit to cancel out trouble codes.

Yup, I have the AWE intercooler and intake behind the grille/under the hood. I didn't install the intercooler myself, so I can't personally speak to the level of effort. However, the shop that I go to for my work said it was very straight forward and there were zero fitment issues.

Wait, what? How so? There's no "Post Thread" option?

Noticed earlier also, “Post Thread” doesn’t seem to be there

Nope. At the bottom under posting permissions it says I may not post new threads. Can reply, attach and edit though.

Sorry about that, folks. Had some settings wrong. Should be fixed now!

[nandofumi]

Since I'm sorta stuck up north at my Canadian home instead of my Cali home I threw the Yakima HighSpeed bike carrier, the Küat Mini Skinny basket and the Küat paddleboard carrier all on the Thule roof rack... Hoping to slump bust this never ending pandemic with a good ol' fashion summertime jinxing...lol.

Installed a grille for the wifey's SQ5.. what a project

To those that have a front camera on their grille.. you will need to get cute and creative when it comes to making a mount. In addition., you will need to discard the styrofoam pad attached to the crash bar, paint the crash bar black and discard the stock secondary grille that's attached to your stock grille.. its function is to hold all your wiring for the parking sensors and the camera. With that said.. grille looks phenomenal. Wife happy.. hubby happy.

Wow, love love love the RSQ5 grill option.

I've spent the last 24-48 hours looking for this grill and every time I find one and purchase it, seller returns my money as they are all from China/Hong Kong area and with COVID-19, nothing is shipping out until after July.

Has anyone also added the RSQ5 fog grills?

I too purchased that grill combo. The chinese seller stated the license plate mount you see in the picture isn't an option. Only the european plate holder. They also stated the fog grills will only fit a base Q5. I asked them to remove the pictures and show pictures with the correct plate, and remove SQ5 from the listing. It's actually against ebay policy to misrepresent your product. Of course they haven't. Also tried some other sellers, but all the fog grills are Q5 so far. Unfortunate...

That's annoying. Those honeycomb grills would look epic on the RSQ5 front grill theme.

Thanks buddy.. it does look amazing. Changes it up completely. Stop looking for vendors on eBay and order it up through MOPS like I did

hahaha.. well it took some creativity. However.. like people have mentioned.. there really isn't a direct fit for the SQ5.. particularly mine with cameras. But your the man.. appreciate you taking my phone call during my confusion. Looks great now

[cmoore86]

Finally installed my AWE intercooler along with a nice cleaning.

Cleaned up after mounting new wheels.
