I have never seen a car sat so perfectly before.

If I could have my wheel/suspension setup in any way ... itd be this.
S3Alex,can we change front camber on our S3 cars? I'm talking camber not caster camber!
Now that's a whole different world right there Alex. Nice job!!!
So general feedback on these on a fwd car is?

Used to run one in my rally Golf many moons ago. Fantastic increase in traction, especially slower corners where you would normally spin an inside wheel. Might need a bit of adjustment in suspension set up though, as it will improve the front end grip so much, the rear may not want to go with it! I believe that the 'slippage' can be altered by changing the gear helix angles, but obviously that would mean a total strip down and rebuild (not sure that the gears would be available from Quaife anyway). Torque steer used to be dreadful, but that was before power steering was the norm. Sure you will enjoy the difference.
Wow check this out Alex,Audi S3 Stg4 vs Viper SRT-10! Audi wins all over!!!

ouch, 8.4 litre V10 loses to 2.0l hatchback!
No words can describe your oncoming work
a common misconception with the GTX range, is that they spool quicker than their normal GT counter parts. They don't. it will be nothing like your gt3071AND,thanks to all the other good bits on this turbo,it should spool easily as quick as my current one.

Just goes to show what power/weight and 4WD can do.
There's no replacement for displacement. Apart from forced induction, apparently.
I guess I will only be repeating what everyone has said - but OMGLIEKWTFd000000d is what I can add.
Love this thread. Can't wait to see this go on Alex. Keep us updated!
I wasn't going to do any of this to the car when I bought it but so many people were remapping their cars and getting much more fun out of the car that I did the same.
It turned into a slippery slope....LOL.
So many nice shiny bits of metal just waiting to be slapped into your engine.
It's awful....seeing it makes you want it.
The fun factor when you put you're right foot down must 100% be worth it all though.
Still need a video of it in action as well...
you couldve had the gtx 76mm billet wheel added to your current turbo, do you know that?Finally decided,with help from Jonny over on VAGOC.
It's going to be a GTX3076 with ported shroud,steel bearing cage,and maybe ceramic coated,all of which should add up to a starightforward 550bhp,without either exploring the limits of fuelling,or ragging anything else in the process.
Now I just have to go and buy the thing,and give Steve at AMD the bad news for digging out the current turbo!

just a different comp wheel and slightly more machined cover. Everything else is the same.
Would be cost effective thats all
"Mr Cocker" by any chance, Alex?Finally decided,with help from Jonny over on VAGOC.
"Mr Cocker" by any chance, Alex?
AGREED, Owen developments looks tremendous,and I must say AMD have done a SUPERB job on your car, I also have a great deal of respect for "Mr Cocker", I actually bought some of the std stuff from his white s3 a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago which was also a GREAT Car as is his TTRS (anyone who hasnt read his build thread over on vagoc really should as it is INSANE)but this takes any s3 build thread to another level Alex, seriously m8, fantastic thread, well doneThat's the one!
I hold Mr Cocker and a few others personally responsible for leading me down this path.
Seriously though,the help I've had from people like Jonny and others in encouraging me to do this,plus his experience of the various turbo options available has been very useful.
Owen Developments and Scott Hawkins in particular have been fantastic.
I honestly could not hope to have had more free advice,help and knowledge put into something which for them,cannot be a big project,and for that,I can only recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone else looking for a good big turbo,with some extras.
These guys are superb.
