2012 mk6 VW Golf R with CTS turbo full exhaust (TBE) catted, stage 2 APR
My setup on my S5 is headers and awe non res dp and awe track exhaust. For a long time, I still had my cats but ever since putting on the headers it is really loud, and I was wondering if the awe touring does a good job in toning it down? After the headers I can no longer hear the supercharger whine which is sad.
Damn every time I hear about folks going stage 3 and messing with the injectors and ethanol it literally never ends well...if i ever decide to go stage 3 I'm just gonna stick with Stage 3 on base 93 octane fuelling, might go the Stage 3 HPFP from IE and just be happy with a super fast ~500whp setup...thanks for sharing your experience
Yeaaa, while it was a complete blast to drive when it was working.. that was not most of the time when it was running stage 3. If you're running stage 2+ or whatever right now, just keep that!
@@dom_says preciate the candid and honest feedback, yea I'll stay away from the ethanol for sure and be happy with what I got lol gotta get the family back and forth reliably 🍻
Same here I had an Audi s4 and it was my daily , unfortunately I couldn’t enjoy most of the time . I do miss it a lot I was on the 710 file e60 from 034, when it ran it was really impressive and felt good , 1 out of 3-4 pulls I would have issues and put me in limp mode .
034 have a lot to answer for
Just found you, love the video, Sub'd and liked. Question, what the heck is ASMR? Also your in my area (Reno) and didn't invite me? Shame...LOL Please keep the videos coming.....
What lip is that called on the truck
Sad. Used to be a fun trail, now it's just another dirt road.
When you say you have gutted cats and jhm catted down pipes, do you mean you gutted the jhm catted down pipes after buying them? Or something else
Is it safe to run a crackle tune with high flow cats? I’ve heard mixed reviews
Enjoyed watching your video last night! We haven’t been in this trail since 2006 in our 80 Series! I’ve heard it’s all mellow now after the equipment (bulldozers) went through for the Caldor Fire but we only live an hour away from the 50 entrance so we need to get back! I couldn’t tell which side you started from? We have a 100 Series with 33’s and sliders, I think we should be okay?
Hey hey, I also heard it was a little more gnarly before the fire. It was my first time - and we started going in from Silver Fork to Long Canyon. I have a video posted a few days before this one which shows that section! The 100 series with sliders should be fine. My 4Runner is basically 33s & sliders, with stock TRD Pro suspension and aftermarket springs. The LX in the video is fully stock minus 35” tires. We didn’t make it to the top due to snow, so I can’t comment on anything past what you saw in the video but it seems relatively mild. It was absolutely beautiful - you should head back out!
That trail has some great views.
was 93 ever an issue?
I don’t have 93 here, and honestly I ran E85 from stage 1 and beyond. But started having issues once I was running 034 coils and went stage 3 (new injectors). Ran standard output most of the time as well.
@@dom_says what issues were you having i bought a tte810, rs injectors and sensors off a friend for a good price when he sold his car with 1k miles on it all. thinking if i should stay stage 2 and sell the kit or put it on
Excellent video. Have you heard of any problems after installing the CETE module? I have a 2014 RS7 that’s PERFECT And I’m nervous to mod it.
Never had any issues!
Dom - where did you get teh black trim pieces? I am planning to install all black trim - I have the chrome right now....
Hey there, the SQ5 was a 2019 which had Black Optics as a package - so it's all OEM! I just added black badges.
Dom - I about to do the same thing. Where did you get the black trim on for the windows, roof rails and side trim? Looks great!
Can I run e85 with everything stock and no ethanol analyzer ?
Why is this your last video?
Do the JHM downpipes you used have the x pipe in them or are they the ones without?
It’s been a year since this video. Any issues at all with the module? Still recommend it over the links?
This is what my bone stock 2021 Amg GLC63s Coupe dose (and slightly better)
Sweet! I like the look of the GLCs - especially the coupes. I know they weigh a little more than SQ5s as well, especially with that V8. However, kind of apples to oranges comparison. Used 2021 GLC comparables are about $22-28k more, and the SQ5 with stock turbo you only need intake, HPFP, and flash/E85 for this if someone wants to mod. (downpipe doesn't actually do much). I think a better direct stock comparison to the GLC63s range is the Audi SQ8 with the 4.0TT.
Did you change anything to fuel system when running e85?
Nope! But an ethanol content analyzer is recommended.
Sounds amazing! Is that it for mods, or did you also do intercooler, e85 sensor, etc for supporting mods?
DOES CETE VOID WARRANTY
damn in the same exact boat. i have a 19 rs5 with full airlift performance 3h. just added a 24 sq5 to the lineup and have been having this EXACT debate in my head. you might have me sold on the CETE. great video
Lowering links suck and instal is way longer. Popping them on is quick but making sure everything adjusted so you don’t trip you leveling sensors is a pain. 3 days at Audi to fix and calibrate 5 system in my 24 sq5… immediately bought CETE… I’ve got 034 links for sale
@@danielguerra8974lmao you might have just sold me on not doing leveling links hahaha
Great looking ride - What size tires are you running? Assuming 295/35/21’s? Thanks again!
Where are the tips from and what size are they?
Just wondering what the update is on how long the filters last? Thank you 🙏🏻
Where is the update?
Got another question for you, What kind of places are gutting cats? I live about a hour from JHM so I'm in your general area.
Waiting on the update video with times! Love the car
love the video. any updates on the e60 HO file?
I’m on stage 2+ with 034 I don’t remember seeing any crackle tune option. Could it be because that I’m manual transmission?
Very informative. Thank you.
Hands down the best water pipe on the planet. Easy to clean. Immaculately designed and tooled. Super efficient draw. Virtually indestructible. Will help you survive a zombie apocalypse 💥👊🏼💥
Your “Bug Out Bong?” 😂
Nice car bro. I'm considering one myself haha, for this stage 2+ e85 tune what fuel system upgrade dis you have to do? What's the maximum ethanol that this stock fuel system can support on these cars? Thanks in advance!
Heyo! The only fuel system upgrade you need for stage 2+ E85 is the HPFP. The files from 034 specifically require E60-E85 range for the E85 tune. I've been running E85 on the car for over a year with no issues - except you need to change your spark plugs with much more frequency and check your PCV system as well!
Perfect piece!!!Fine smoking at its finest🤌🏻💯
Without a doubt one of the best sounding setups. Especially with gutted cats!!!
You think that Q5 is a "chunky girl'? Try run same motor but super charged on a Q7 Prestige. I wish I could have just held out to get new 4.0L version.
Ahh yea the 4M Q7 is 3-500 lbs heavier depending on build spec. That 3.0T supercharged is a great engine tho, and I believe a tune from 034 is coming for it soon (for Q7)! The 4.0 on the SQ7 sure is nice.
Awesome SQ5. Curious if the turbo upgrade would pass smog in Cali
Dom, Where are you from? North Bay?
I was pretty sure your car was at Big SoCal Euro haha, wish I'd ran into you to say hey!
The car and myself were definitely there!! It felt a bit less social this year due to the rain keeping people under tarps for a while. Then I was lured to the burnout comps for a bit. Wish there was more time to walk around to say hi to peeps!
Waiting on the update video with numbers. I’m curious to see the standard file draggy runs too. Thanks for the content.
Yooo I plan to run some back to backs with Standard + High output very soon! I got the clear to run High output E85 and it's hard to think about flashing back, but I will soon for some dragy stuff. I'll be sure to share here in another week or so.
@@dom_says What happened Dom ? Did you sell the car ?
@@DavidSmall-fh3vr I did. I was having lots of issues and ended up parting out before anything catastrophic happened.
@@dom_says No worries bro ! Thanks for the reply, so all the issues happened since the turbo upgrade / tune yeh ? It's interesting to see people tuning cars, and telling you the GOOD things, but maybe they sweep the BAD things under the carpet, and keep quiet about it. So I appreciate your honesty.
Awesome video, love seeing stage 3 B9 content! Personally went from a bone stock 2018 S4 all the way up to a TTE710 / E85 setup, enjoyed that for a bit until a young kid in a 335i decided my car needed to be retired lol. Now have a B9.5 S4 with a TTE810 and basically everything that 034 makes. Having been on both the standard and high output files it's hard to go down to the standard haha, the car just feels so damn good on E85 & high output. Random fun fact, when all the stage 3 stuff got installed on my B9.5 the intercooler piping blew off just like yours did lol. Sweet ride, can't wait to see more videos!
Yoooo sorry to hear about your B9, but happy to hear you kept with the platform and snagged a B9.5!! The TTE810 is bonkers, I got an updated ECU version to deal with some boost configuration and I'm hoping to be clear for 3+ this week. I'm sure it's a huge bump from standard - and I've been running E60 as well. Honestly the intercooler piping blow off freaked me out, but of all things to happen that's probably the best compared to others. Starting to hit boost season soon with temps dropping so I'm hoping to push some dragy content soon. THanks for the sub!
@@dom_says intercooler piping popping off is definitely one of the best things that can go wrong haha, easy to fix and doesn’t cost anything! I’ve actually never ran the E60 files due to not wanting to mix fuel, will be cool to see what you think of the high output E60! Looks like you’re in the Bay Area, I’m just outside Sacramento so maybe we’ll cross paths at some point 👀
@@DigitalCowboy87 ya I was sure it was something more serious, and it was day 1 after picking it up from 035 LOL. But ya, gladly just piping. Originally I didn’t wanna mix fuel, but I found an easy calculator online and just use it each fill up and it’s been spot on. I aim for E65, no issues so far. But with 91 prices I may go full E85 again when I go 3+ haha
@@DigitalCowboy87 are you headed to Big Euro SoCal next week?? Hit me on IG if you’re going
Stock cats? Just gutted them? And put them back on ?
Just gutted, reinforced with welds, and put back on
Nice SQ5. Great video content! I went with lowering links on my B9 SQ5 because it was much cheaper than CETE module and I never raise/lower the car. I’ve been happy with the lowering links so far.
Lowering links are such a great option. I was so spoiled by Airlift setups before that CETE just hit all the boxes for me without spending as much as I’m used to with air. But links are absolutely a cost effective and easy way to mod the OEM air. Thanks for watching!
@@dom_says that makes sense. I’ve never had an Airlift setup before. Cool to see another Stage 3 SQ5 out there with the TTE810 running 034 setup.
