Have literally never seen anything anywhere about one.... i see parts but no videos of one actually modded. Do they exist? I've seen some some 400 hp CLA 250s with bolt-ons/tune i assume since its the same engine someone would have done something.

Agreed. I have a 2.0t have aem intake, downpipe, jb4 tune and some upgraded intercooler piping + turbo muffler delete. Waiting on my muffler delete from remark it’s on order but won’t be here until June. Overall it’s pretty fun to drive right now. Curious as to others results :D

Damn looks good g, yea I'm getting a shop to do it, I don't think I can DIY this myself.
Thanks for all your help, seriously.
I was sad that I would have to spend a grand on a DP and cant do stage 2, but now its looking good. Doing stage 1 tomorrow and then stage 2 once I installed the intake and DP.

Thanks for the link, I gave this guy the like (I usually do not give likes on YouTube). (Funnily, by the end of the video, there was a siren wailing, and bro looked momentarily aside with a concern. :) )

Yesterday, I was driving home from work. I jetted off at the lights trying to overcome an SUV with an aged woman driver in it, but my Q50 2.0t barely made it, and she was not even trying. When I came home and looked it up, the SUV turned out to be Alfa-Romeo Stelvio Q4, and it had a 2-litre turbo engine with 148kW and 330Nm. Or, it was the Veloce with the same engine upped to 206kW and 400Nm. It could also be the Quadrufoglio version (Q4 hints at that) with the 2.9t V6 engine and with 375kW/600Nm.

This made me thinking: "Hm... I need to tune up my Q50. Will JB4 be useful to me ?"

The issue is that I need to accelerate quickly from 0 to 60 km/h. My 2.0t takes 2.9 seconds. The standard 3.0t would make it in 2.5 seconds. The increase is not significant... how would the tuning be good for my purpose ?

It’s not.... it’s slightly louder than stock but the axel back is whats gonna make the difference. I have a turbo muffler delete and some aluminum intercooler piping so the only thing loud on it is the turbo sound atm lol. I think whenever my axel back gets here and put on it will have pretty decent sound.

And where are you from man. You got no idea how refreshing it is to talk to someone whos got a 2.0 and is basically looking to do the EXACT same things as me to their car. Im obviously not looking to race it but just trying to make it slightly quicker. I was thinking about getting the upgraded intercooler bc I live in NJ and summers here are effin brutal.

Lmfao trust me dude I have an idea. I bought the car so I didn’t want the twin turbos but I felt it was wayyy to slow so wanted to give it a little more power. I was thinking of intercooler also for the same reason man.... also in NJ! Lol

No ****. Im in New Brunswick. That link I sent you. Thats what you installed on yours? The intercooler?
I didn’t get the intercooler I got aluminum charge pipe and aluminum pipe for the other side with meth injection port (might do the meth injection eventually). My cousin has a built Audi A4 that makes 600 hp he said intercooler we have should be more then enough he didn’t need to upgrade his on his car until he was over 400hp and the ones that come stock on the A4 are like a quarter of the size of ours.

from what I hear the dealer could only void the warranty if they can prove that the dp caused the problem but who knows, hopefully neither of us will ever have to find that out. Have you seen that we could order these mid pipes for our cars?? I'm gonna debate getting them after I see how the dp sounds when I install it next week.

hey i have a 2.0 q60 and i was wondering since the q50 and q60 have the same engine where can I locate the manifold sensor? Im installing a racechip but I just wanna make sure wheres the manifold sensor is located. I think it’s around the air filter box but is so how can i take off the air filter box to access the sensor?

Its under the intake box, you need to take it out and you will see the connection. That one is the easier of the that you need to connect. The other one which I believe is the throttle body is a pain the a$$. You'll see what I mean when you go to do the install. Idk about RaceChip but im assuming its the same connections and the JB4. Any reason why you went with that instead of the JB4???

I thought the pressure sensor is #6 in the first diagram and #4 in the second.

The inlet air duct has a couple of tabs that snap into the air cleaner housing and the outlet air duct has a band clamp that secures it to the air cleaner housing. A screwdriver should suffice. Go look at housing to verify.

I remember when I actually drove one of these imo rare", cars,,at a very large used car dealership/600+ car inventory),,I fell for Q50s all versions RS,SS,3.7, and then I drove one that was very attractive looking,,but felt slower than my 16 Altima 3.5 SR,,,upon returning I saw the 2.0 badge on fender and realized that was the pretty significant difference! The tune I imagine provides more power making this another player in the line-up..
