Hi Mate, Was there any difference when you put the HPF pump on ? Thanks

I'm actually running the 310 pump tune and dont have any other engine upgrades apart from CAI... Didn't bother updating to the 330 Hammer tune just yet as I have the stock exhaust also... I'm not sure which way to go as APR have a Stage 3 400hp+ kit coming out soon - hence thinking of getting...

Hi Guys, Just spoke to Austin at GIAC and there is a new tune available for an uprated pump. All they needed was my ECU No to set it up.... I'm contemplating on marring it up with the APR pump – has anyone here used the APR pump with either GIAC or REVO ?? I was told that as long as the...

Here's mine on 235/35 19" ET42 - Front is lower by 30mm and rear is 15mm

Hi Mate, I'm from Syd Aus and had one of the first S3's flashed with GIAC - I'm running the 310 pump tune. Had it on the Dyno soon after. See below for chart - There is another tune (Hammer 330) which I haven't loaded as yet ... I'm also looking into the fuel pump upgrade as GIAC now...

That would me mine dude :) Its a hybrid of the new Forge intake pipe and BMC cold air intake. I didn't bother with the full Forge system behind the wheel arch. Shorter distance for air flow and the BMC CAI has a better flow rate. I find boost comes on a earlier and low down torque has...

Hey Guys, Loved the idea of this so decided to order one - However decided not to run the pod that low under the bonnet - seeing an R32 with a similar set-up have its rod bent as a result of water getting in made me think twice. I did like the idea of having proper intake plumbing instead...

Guys, The wheels shouldn't be an issue I'm running ET42 19x8 with 235/35 rubber. I'm also an 25 mm lower at the rear and 40 mm in the front. If your not lowering the car the only mod needed is to round head screw holding the rear fender and replace with flat head screw. If you're...

Hi Guys, I’ve had the 310hp for almost 6months now and in much tougher climate. (Sydney 35 – 40 degree temps) Just going through my first summer with this car and cannot fault the GIAC upgrade. Whilst the ECU upgrade adds stress to the components it really comes down to the way you drive...

Some updated pics after the Zaino treatment

well here's his store on Ebay http://stores.ebay.com.au/ABI-Wheels_Audi_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZ1QQfsubZ2QQftidZ2QQtZkm and his email abisydney@bigpond.com You could always ask for a set to be shipped from Italy to the UK ....

Heya, Yep there's a guy in Aus that imports them from Italy - cost around 1500 Aus and 1600 Aus for the CS3 rubber (235/35) Offset is ET 45 Weight - funny enough is around 1lb lighter but with tyres not much difference from the stockers Cheers M

I've had GIAC on mine from 750km and now coming up to 3000 without any issues - have been very pleased with the results. Was also one of the more affordable tunes in Aus. Thanks to CJP80 for answering all my questions – was the first in Aus to try it on the 8P S3 and was very pleased with...

24.5K eur - Thats nuts The Oettinger 400hp kit is around 6K eur and there will be a APR one for much less - only a few things needed slight mods to the K04, down pipe and bigger exhaust with bigger fuel pump Perhaps a new clutch and Haldex to get the power to the ground better

Hey dude, Finally got the BMC CAI on and it does make a nice little difference up in the rev range. More noticeable is the throttle response and the engines eagerness to rev more freely... As for install - the engine cover needs to come off to get at the stock filter which was a little...
