As an SQ5 owner that's done a fair amount of mods, bullying local Subaru wrx owners is beyond accurate 😂

[maxwellchace]

Dude, I had no idea these cars could be so fast. Super awesome. You have some brass balls not worrying about sending a rod into space with that kind of power. Kudos.

[KenJohn]

Man you are giving hope to SQ5 owners! Really good info and the detailed process and parts used is awesome. Really appreciated. The only thing I would change is 22" wheels for 19 or 20's I prefer more meaty tyres but yours is clean AF

[jrf]

Happy to be here for this journey! I’ve got a stage 1 B8.5 that I’m planning to start doing more things to this upcoming year. Keep it pushin’, your car is so sick 👍👍

[crazywisdom]

Dude, that rocks. I love my SQ5 B9 and now that warranty has just expired I’m easing into mods with IE stage w/ air intake, new wheels, and going the inexpensive route with lowering links. I couldn’t have said it better how this car can go from Bruce Wayne to Batman mode. Appreciate your information sharing on mods with real costs.

i had a b8 SQ5 running IE stage 1 and it was so fun. i sold it about a year ago and this video just made me wanna jump back in the Audi world. nice job!

[RunYourJewels]

Bruhhh this was my dream when I got mine. I have a 2018 Prestige sports package. And i have looked at a few things from IE. But you have snapped on this thing! Congrats man, i wish i was more confident in doing some of my own work.😅

[boerieza]

As a B8 SQ5 owner (that's also gone down the whole ultra-charger route) I hope you guys have saved some of that money for the rocker-arm replacements before they become a problem. I don't see any B9 SQ5 owners on youtube talking about that issue.

[jdemara]

Wow what a freakin beast!!! Under 3 sec to 100kmh (for us Canadians!) in an SUV!!

[derekmorrison]

This is so fire and killing just about anything on the road. Awesome build my guy 👍🏽

[steventech]

Diablo!!!! 🔥🔥that is incredibly fast. Saludo desde 🇵🇷 keep that good work💪

[BocaAtractivo]

I'm currently in the process of acquiring a 2020 model year w/o the air suspension. My first mod will be the front strut brace and rear subframe inserts for handling

[TeddysVentures]

Amazing! Fantastic 60 ft too! I had two b9 SQ5's in the past and loved them just with a JB4! The 2018-2019 were a blast!

[AdrianWyrzykowski]

Thats absurdly fast lol...great stuff man

[Kiss__Kiss]

And the fact that ZERO bottom end work was performed 😲, is a true testament to how awesome the EA839 really is.

[webben]

Amazing mods, amazing filming, wild!!!

[stacks_producer]

Bro wtf!! I knew they was tunable but not this much and so easily.. SUBBED!

Showing this to my buddy who just got an SQ5 ❤

[LourensDoeterniettoe]

Beautiful car! I'm on the point of purchasing a 2018 SQ5 with 70k miles. I test drove it today and performed really well. After reading a lot of reviews on the internet the same thing about "rocker arms" is popping up. Can you give me your advise and place this issue in a little bit of context so i can make the decision of purchasing it or just go for another car. Thanks for the help!
