    ...is it true true that 225 S3's have a more 'mappable' ECU?

    ... a bit of both really. The LCR drives really well with 330... as long as you have decent tyres on the front - it's great. it's just the rattles that I'm fed up with. ...But even if I go BT with the S3 - I get the feeling it won't feel as fast as the LCR.... cos of the transmission...

    ...is it true true that 225 S3's have a more 'mappable' ECU?

    Hello mate Yep - I still have the LCR - But it's 330BHP (IHI) now ;) ....but I now fancy an S3. Can't afford the new shape - So it's gonna have to be the 8L.

    ...is it true true that 225 S3's have a more 'mappable' ECU?

    Hi all, Just wanted to know if this is a true fact.... Did the 225 S3's come with a ECU which is more tuner / mapping friendly than the earlier S3's? Thanks

    Coil pack yet AGAIN!

    Check your plugs. a friend of mine had his S3 serviced and 2 days later misfire... Coil Pack had to be replaced. Reason - Spark plugs were lose..!
