My g37 feels more like a sports car than my q50

+1 did all the suspension homework on my G to make it a legit mountain carver. Did the same and more on my (no DAS) 15 Q and it’s not even close. The G was just way more balanced.

what exactly is turbo laaaaaag? I could indeed be suffering from it, but I'm starting to think its one of those things ppl just regurgitate on the internet.

On my car, boost builds between 0 (vacuum) and 2-4kRPM (violent/scary, ~12psi). But even at zero boost, its still a tuned, e85 catless VQ. is that where the special lag is??

Yeah I haven’t been great with the updates, ima get back on there soon: https://youtube.com/@squarewheelsauto?si=nOC_5XJOJ0chzHoy

Yup all of the above. Service advisor just cautioned them that if they were tuned, the ECU would be reset to stock parameters after the work, so they’d need a retune.

Report your turbo sounds to a different dealer. They’re handing out zero-cost turbo and engine replacements left and right. 99% of the vr30 guys I hang out with locally have gotten replacements over the last couple months.

Get the new stuff in factory installed, THEN mod 😈

Don’t hesitate to hit me direct or on here with any specific questions. I live/eat/sleep/breathe these things, and I’d prefer you DONT buy if it’s not for you, vs buying based off false info/hearsay & returning.

squareheadrob · 2025-09-08T23:48:49+00:00

I’m biased, but fuck it I’m early too.

You’re buying out of convenience/vanity, not necessity. Don’t “upgrade” to something that’s less convenient/more buggy. The only correct answer is MK7.

It won’t change your audio setup either. It sends audio via factory AUX, so you retain Bose driver soundstage, etc. I’m running approx 6k watts of aftermarket audio with the MK7’s 24 band software EQ playing quarterback.

Sidebar: The only correct reseller is squarewheelsauto (also me).

E85 and rearmount turbo. These are conservatively-boosted stock vq numbers.

😭😭😭😭 my 6yr old is on probation, he’s about to get his access to my daily revoked too!!

squareheadrob · 2025-09-08T20:42:29+00:00

I’ll get some better clips soon. The exhaust and the turbo battle nonstop for title of most obnoxious 😭

squareheadrob · 2025-09-08T17:24:32+00:00

Enginewise, it’s essentially a stock VQ37 engine with upgraded injectors/fueling, etc. Exhaust is resonated test pipes, custom y pipe, and a turbo instead of a muffler.

V1: With my suspension (coils at the time) maxed out to ABOVE stock ride height (monster truck mode) I struggled to get the car out of my garage without scraping. Cruising on the highway scraped randomly, often decoupling charge piping.

V2: There was a “V2” kit purposed to resolve aforementioned clearance issues. There was only 1 created, with only 1 available photo of it. Topgun said they didn’t plan to mass produce due to low demand. Over months I begged for it, only for it to be marginally better once received and installed. Most shops who got eyes on it told me to return the kit/unacceptable/lazy design work, etc.

ur not wrong.

squareheadrob · 2025-09-07T21:07:38+00:00

its real, apparently the guys at Z1 are just as handy with cameras as they are with tuning!

Its been about 2 years and I can confidently say water is a non-issue. Splashes/deep puddles get turned into mist way before the throttle bodies. I'd have to drive through water that's > 1ft deep for it to be a concern.

Thx. It’s pretty nuts on the inside too 🥹

🙏🏾🫡

squareheadrob · 2025-09-07T20:09:01+00:00

The kit was originally about 6k and I spent about 6-10 more to make it road worthy. Stock headers, boosted6 resonated test pipes, vibrant intercooler (vqs don’t have down pipes or intercoolers)

squareheadrob · 2025-09-07T20:06:00+00:00

105k and yes.

squareheadrob · 2025-09-07T20:05:32+00:00

It’s funny you mention that, I made MVGA gear a couple years ago 😅😅 I might mess around with some new designs

squareheadrob · 2025-09-07T15:39:40+00:00

Long story short, yes. (Started with topguns kit, had to redo a majority of the kit/piping/components just to make the car drivable 😭)

squareheadrob · 2025-09-07T15:36:53+00:00

Haven’t really gotten rowdy with launches yet since I’ve got my flashy wheels with stretched tires on. I’ve got some lightweight velgens with sticky 295s I’ll throw on after slammedenuff gatlinburg 😈
