Hi all,
Bought an Black S3 around 3 months ago and love it,
First thing I bought was a private plate just wanted something that had s3 on it the other three letters didn't really bother me but as I seen one similar to my name I thought £300 bargain.

While I am working away I get bored and just read about s3 mods and end up ordering things,
So I ordered a :-
-Bluefin,
-Revo induction kit,
-Forge Dv kit,
Booked the car into Audi for Friday just gone, for a service which I thought wouldn't take long so I could then go and fit my new toys, took it in at half 9 got away about 3 in the afternoon was driving me crazy, they didn't take it in the workshop until around 11 don't know why they bothered to tell me to come at half 9,
Anyway Bluefin,
Took no time at all sent them my standard map had the new back instantly,
Only noticeable thing is its taken out the big kick of the turbo and smoothed it out across the rev range,
I only drive it a couple of weeks every two months so haven't drove it enough to remember the standard map characteristics,
But any gain is a good gain,
Revo induction kit,
Got dark by the time it came to fitting this but wanted to do so had a head torch on out in the cold, seems a good bit of kit, bit of a b*tch to fit trying to grip the standard clip on the first bend it difficult to get grips in because of the room so ended up using a spare jubilee clip I had,
Sound wise I expected more of a louder noise like a non-turbo car but it seems quite quiet, not that is a bad thing can tell it on there but not loud like a little saxo vtr boy racer with cheap £15 one lol,
Was surprised how much you can hear the turbo diverting the pressure sounds like it echoing down the massive metal intake pipe,
Forge Dv Kit,
Was really easy to fit, only bought one as weren't sure if I had the Rev D or not turns out I do, it's slightly louder than the OEM one so enjoying that too,
Oh also while waiting hours and hours in Audi went to McDonalds had a little look on here and noticed the thread about the tts engine cover and thought while hear price it up off the part number given on here from:-
-Boydie
-poli84
-warren_s3
so big thanks for those lads,
Because as the parts man came back he was going to order the wrong one, the cover and bolts came £95 inc Vat so thought I order them, be there to collet Tuesday morning,
Good job I paid for them before I had the bill for service or I wouldn't of botherd came to £469 bit of a shock but suppose its the maintenance cost of having a decent car but glad it was done before I mapped it.
Next Mod thinking coilovers, and Arb's
