Audi SQ5 alternatives?

[ZR36]

So i finally pulled the trigger on one!





i really wanted an MY16 Plus, but they are pretty rare and i was sick of looking.

this one has everything but the black out package and the B&O.

Apologies - i missed this. Nice one!! Looks great in that blue. Has the most sought after options too. Hope you are enjoying it.

Update - so finally got the SQ5 tuned last weekend at Pacortech in Sydney. So it's a stage 1 tune from Underground Performance + EGR coded out. I am yet to re-fit my EGR blanking plate but will get to that over the next few days as time permits (it's not super quick or easy to do).

The tune has most certainly given this heavy old girl some extra oomph, and my GPS accelerometer app is showing a 0.5-0.6 second improvement in the 0-100kph times. The extra torque is certainly noticeable - especially in the 2,000-3,500rpm range.

Stock: 5.5 - 5.6 seconds 0-100 kph
Tuned: 5.0 - 5.1 seconds 0-100 kph

These times were achieved with the same iOS app and stalling the car up to around 2,000rpm each time (could probably stall higher but don't want to risk damaging anything). The tune is supposed to give an additional 20-30kw and around 100-110nm.

Also recently purchased and installed some Spulen (15mm front and 20mm rear) wheel spacers and new bolts which give the car a much nicer stance on the road and push the wheels out. SPULEN Audi Q5/SQ5 Flush Kit - WSKT-Q5F - 6928

Will have to get some photos and upload.

Car is booked in for a service next week at Newcastle VW Centre.

Should also upgrade your PCV catch can to bigger one, since the Flashlube could struggle a bit now.

I cant find anything else that will fit in the tight engine bay of the SQ5 and flows more so im kind of stuck. I specifically purchased the Flashlube because of its dimensions and i knew i could make it fit.

The only real options are Flashlube, Provent (too big) and the new Ryco (looks too big also) that I am aware of. Suggestions on others?

What about fitting it in the wheel arch cavity?

Id rather not because then i have to worry about potentially damaging it when you drive over any debris etc. There is a spot behind the front bumper which may work - ill have to check it out over the weekend in more detail.

I have downloaded the dimensions of the Provent 200 (which is rated to 250kw) and will find a bottle or something that is a similar size and see if it can be mounted somewhere reasonable.

Maybe this will help you a bit.
The MANN Provent200 is in the middle, Ryco on left. The Ryco is fraction longer than Provent200 but it has a smaller diameter, which could've some advantage.

Details on Ryco RCC350.
It's probably better suited to your tuned 3.0TDI.
