Just bought a SQ5
Hello Audi World! New to the Audi game, just bought a 2014 SQ5 a week ago, just came here to see what everyone's opinion is on the best/first upgrades to do. Best tune, exhaust etc. 100% want to make that supercharger whine, either by getting an open cold air intake, or getting a new tube to the throttle body and modding the stock intake box. Love the thing so far, traded in my 2004 F250 powerstroke for it so it's a huge difference haha.

Best first thing to do is get current on maintenance. Then 034 stage 1 ECU and TCU.

Once you are past that stuff - Stage 1 - you really can't go wrong with any of the tuners - this is a well tested/vetted drivetrain 3.0T/ZF8 - if you want to be able to load the tune/change the tune at home you can go with Integrated Engineering - 034 - EPL. All make great stage 1 tunes and are known for "tweaking" tunes for customer when needed. Here is a great Youtube Channel that goes over SQ5 with light mods and results at the drag strip and on the Dyno; |

Whenever I want to hear a whine in my car, I just bring my wife along for the ride. Louder then any after-market bolt on. :)

Congrats on the new ride! You don't mention how many miles are on it? As someone has stated - best first mod is either verifying the scheduled maint. has been done or make sure you do it;

One thing I'm going to have to just bite the bullet on is the 034 tune, $800 for the ECU tune and the flash device. I bought a 150 hp tune for my old 6.0 powerstroke for $100, crazy differece lol.
