Hi Craig, How are things? Have you had any luck selling your car? I've been contacted for a couple of viewings this weekend, but still happy to give you first call! Let me know buddy. Ben

Oh... I was thinking from a Badger5 TIP point of view, as they need an adapter for the APY engine. Apparently one of the holes will need blanking off on the TIP.

Will they require any modification TO fit? (Aside from the TIP, which I assume will need an adapter)

http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/sale-wanted-audi-parts/154887-sale-silicone-tip-boost-hoses-lcr-tt-s3.html Just fancy them for mine, but relatively new to the Audi S3, so don't know whether they'll fit. They've come off of a BAM engine. Cheers in advance! Ben

Well, there's already a forge 007 and a cone filter on it already... So I think I'll do as you suggest - badge5 tip, downpipe/cat and a map. Should be relatively quiet noise-wise and hopefully should take me past 250bhp, which is really a decent sort of improvement from the original 210...

By the way - don't know whether this is something anyone can answer as well... when I go over 80-90mph... I hear a deep rhythmic thrumming noise... doesn't speed up or slow down with speed, just seems to occur beyond 80mph. Is that normal or something I should really have checked out? Ta fellas!

Thanks very much man! Just ordered a small cone filter for it. Cheers!

The infamous and slightly noisy redundant hose....

I shall post a picture in a second...

May have just made a sneaky find on that front... Still £115, but equally they seem to go for a lot more lol... Quick question too - The car has an a/m filter on it - making a vacuum hose redundant, and it's affecting my idle. Any way of dealing with that?

Stacey... You feel my plight. Thank you all, cracking advice. Just a shame it's so expensive - It's not just the noise that's the problem, she's pretty clued up now (the perks/disadvantages of living with someone who works/breathes cars) It's the money-side too... she'll know. Even if I save up...

Hi lads (n possibly ladies, maybe... ) Haven't had the car long, will post up some pickachers if I get time. I know it's probably been asked a million and one times before.. But basically, I want to try and see 270hp out of my pre-facelift S3. I suspect a decent map would nearly see that, but...

Sam Bryant, how much would you I be looking at for the mani?

Hi guys, Couple of quick questions! I bought a APY engined V reg red S3 very recently, had to change the power steering pump cooler two days after I got it, which was a bit ****ty. Otherwise - it's been lurvly! Questions I had: What sort of bits n bobs will I be needing to reach around...
