March 2024 – replaced OEM spoiler after it warped. Got a used one in Glacier white and wrapped in matte black. Ethanol sensor, carbon cleaning, injector cleaning, new spark plugs, new set of intercooler bricks (2nd set), upgraded secondary coolant pump (S/C coolant pump), LED headlight bulbs













May 2024 – Variant Sena Summers



June 2024- Wrapped tail lights in 35% Xpel PPF


July 2024 – Sanded and repainted windshield wiper arms


August 2024 – Bled Brakes, satin chrome mirror caps and sequential turn signals



October 2024 – Sqattro plate rebirth. Engine made a noise, so I pulled it and inspected it. Didn’t find anything obviously wrong with it, except pieces of timing chain guide stuck to the crankshaft timing gears. Decided to build it for more power since it was already out and apart. Might as well, ya know.











December 2024 – Dropped off the engine at AMTuned for their stroker build with ported heads, sent supercharger to Jokerz Performance for their porting service. Who needs a pickup truck when you have an S5?


At AMTuned in FL


February 2025 – Received the supercharger back from Jokerz. Installed RSQ5 grill from CAP. The grill says it fits a B8.5 SQ5, but honestly, it required a LOT of trimming and adjusting to make it work. Looks good though. I also dremeled the the lattice on the OEM bracket that holds the garage door opener as well as the spots for the parking sensors and license plate holder on the new grill for a cleaner aesthetic.





That’s about all I remember doing as far as mods and some maintenance. I am probably forgetting a few things. Next posts are probably gonna be random pics and eventually getting the engine back in and making moar powah!
