I am the crazy guy that drives a Porsche the like Porsche truck. That said if at the limit doesn’t matter and ultra sporty doesn’t matter and better dollar per value sq5 all day. Especially if you like superchargers over turbochargers.
Yes, I’d like to know the details as well. The dealers told me it was stronger as well then the base 3.0t in the q5, I thought it was similar to the s4 motor but I could be wrong. No one could confirm that for me a few years ago
Fundamentally, the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 follows the same design as that in the Q5 3.0T. Yet in case you’re wondering, you can’t simply ‘chip’ a Q5 3.0T and arrive at an SQ5; there are plenty of serious upgrades in the SQ5. Compared to the existing supercharged V-6 of the same displacement in Q5 3.0T models, the engine in the SQ5 has a stronger crank, stiffer block, and different intake and exhaust manifolds. Brakes have been upgraded—both with bigger rotors and calipers and with a stronger brake booster—and engine cooling capacity has been raised. To work with that, there’s a larger front end, for more airflow under the hood (that, plus wider tires actually make its coefficient of drag a bit higher).

mostly fluff if we’re honest. Nobody is doing any of those modifications other than maybe bigger rotors. Nobody is sitting around saying ‘I just don’t think the crank in my Q5 is stiff enough…’
that was me asking you if you have a car. If so, what do you have? Post a pic. You’re posting about buying every car under the sun, and about owning/driving tons but it doesn’t seem you own any.
If saki searches 6speedonline, m5board, and rennlist he will see my former 06 m5, 08 s6, and current cayenne GTS? Maybe he can post from those sites as well, that would be helpful.
If you all trust jimmy he worked on my car on and off for over a year on my 08 s6 from brake jobs, to atf fills, etc. and we began to scan the ecu and begin prepping for further mods. Hopefully you all trust him
Happy to make a formal introduction post if people are interested in the journey?
Back to the topic…Hoping we see what car this person chooses to buy. He seems to be considering other cars, just like I have in the past. They all have pros and cons and feedback seems relatively neutral here though.
