SQ5

Audi SQ5 performance upgrades need to match the right generation, since the B8's supercharged 3.0 TFSI and the B9's turbocharged version behave very differently under load. Awesome GTI stocks SQ5 mods and parts split by generation, so you're shopping for parts built around your exact SUV.

SQ5 Performance Upgrades by Generation: B8 vs B9

The B8 SQ5 runs a supercharged 3.0 TFSI V6, while the B9, including 2019 model year cars, switched to a turbocharged version of the same displacement. Browse the  B8 and  B9 ranges directly for suspension and exhaust upgrades matched to your exact engine.

Mods SQ5 Owners Actually Rate

Start with the exhaust and you'll hear the difference before you feel it.  AWE Tuning's Touring Edition system is a proper in-house design, not a rebadged universal box, and it's good for up to 9bhp and 10lb ft on the B9. 

Want the SUV to actually turn like it means it? 034Motorsport's sway bars and subframe inserts sort out the vague, floaty feeling in the back end, and floating brake rotors are there too if you fancy shedding some unsprung weight. 

The remap is where the real fun starts.  034Motorsport,  APR and  RacingLine software can take the 3.0T from around 354bhp to over 410bhp, either at our Manchester workshop with a free rolling road run to prove it or at home with the correct flashing tools. Chuck an intercooler or charge cooler upgrade on top and the power stays consistent instead of fading away on a spirited B-road blast.

Frequently asked questions

What performance upgrades are available for the Audi SQ5?

Performance upgrades for the SQ5 cover suspension, exhaust and remap software, split by the B8's supercharged engine and the B9's turbocharged one. Brands like 034Motorsport and AWE Tuning make up a large part of the range, alongside APR and RacingLine remap options for the B9.

Can you remap an Audi SQ5 for more power?

Yes, the B9 SQ5's turbocharged 3.0T responds well to a remap, typically lifting the standard 354bhp to over 410bhp. Remaps are carried out at our own Manchester workshop, with a free rolling road run included.

What exhaust options are available for the Audi SQ5?

AWE Tuning's Touring Edition system is available for both the B8 and B9 SQ5, adding a deeper tone alongside a small power gain. On the B9, it's engineered specifically around the 3.0T's twin-pipe layout rather than adapted from another model.

Is the Audi SQ5 worth tuning?

Yes, especially the B9's turbocharged engine, which has plenty of headroom for a remap and supporting mods. The B8's supercharged unit responds well too, though gains are generally smaller without hardware changes like a pulley upgrade.

What are the best first mods for the Audi SQ5?

A remap is the best starting point for either generation, since it's the single biggest gain for the least amount of work. Suspension upgrades like 034Motorsport's sway bars are a good next step, tightening up the SUV's body control in corners.
