When I first got it I was a bit unsure. It defiantly made a noticeable difference to the noise and when in dynamic and S for gearbox it never shuts up. Cold start sounds amazing ( not as good as a v8 )there is a drone in cabin at 3 thousand revs. If you’re out for proper drive u will love it. But if your just going for a drive then stick it in E let of the gas when coming up to 3k revs and it just goes up the gears so doesn’t make much drone. And on motorway at 70 is fine. And if u hate it just take it off again. Doesn’t cost a fortune I’ve my middle box in garage

Do a few launches and let me know how u get on. I’m heading out now for spin round the back roads.

I’m in Northern Ireland so best place to go is torque troniques. Quoted me 480 for map and dsg. I need it done tho as before I fitted the res delete and r600 intake I got a 0-60 in 4.09 secs. Now I’d be lucky to get a 4.6.

I had mine done at the house ecu remap. It’s quicker but I’m regretting that decision now to save a few quid. I’m planning to book it in for a dyno map and dsg soon as after the house map I fitted a res delete and R600 performance air intake.

Standard plug and play. I’ve had no issues since I posted the video. Oil and coolant temps fine and launches on average 4.1-4-4.5 secs. Just got the gearbox and haldex serviced and mechanic had a look over it aswell. Couldn’t find anything wrong. I am thinking of getting it on a dyno to get it mapped properly tho

Hey guys new to this forum. I just bought an s3 2017. Was checking the engine there and noticed some staining at back of it near the inlet of turbo. Attached. Video. Just wondering if this is anything to be concerned about. It does have a stage 1 remap 360bhp without any extra mods. Notice in the video the engine has just been switched of and there’s still some sort of noise coming from it. Maybe I’m just paranoid as new car but it’s has a 12 month warrenty so would like to get it looked at if anything concerning. Thanks. James IMG_8759.mov
