I drive a 2020 SQ5 that I daily and so far only the only upgrade I've done is transmission insert from you guys. I am strongly considering going tuning stage 1 only but I am 50-50 - I don't track it nor abuse it. I only go fast (I don't launch it at all) when I need to pass and/or merge driving Ms. Daisy drivers. Plus where I reside, the only summer months is between June through Septemper. My question is, intercooler a must upgrade or no? Professional thoughts?
@@BocaAtractivo82 based on what you described above you should be fine w/o an intercooler. The ECU will manage boost and load based on intake temps so worst case if you did push it harder the ECU would scale back boost level to keep temps in a safe range. Hope we can help 🙌🏽
@@034motorsport Thank You very much for your response. I will definitely make the purchase for stage 1 on the next sale. For now, waiting for the oil catch can release and hopefully purchase it together with the PCV breather hose. Keep on innovating strong resilient products!
Since you’re driving like a normal person you probably won’t get into heat soak territory. If you were to do multiple back to back 1/4 mile wide open throttle pulls you would benefit from the faster recovery that cooling upgrades provide
Plenty have done it before. A lot of people pull out the two scrolls from the supercharger and rear mount a turbo or even top mount like the new B9's then just let the air push through an empty s/c essentially. Check out @uwrenchitauto
Apologies for the abrupt ending, internet issues got the best of us towards the end of our stream!

Thoughts on turbo swap b8/b8.5

Just turned my c7 3.0t and now the fans run on high when not moving. How can we fix?
