    Modifying a basic A3 8L

    Your right Dane, forgot to mention the improvement you will get off doing the air filter and exhaust won't be anything to get to excited about. But it can make the non turbo sound abit more powerful at least.

    Modifying a basic A3 8L

    You could debadge the boot, just leaving the audi ring's on. And spray the chrome surround on the grill at the front of the car. I did this and imo was a good improvement. Because it's a non turbo you will get quite a few people on here saying to sell up and get a turbo, i did anyway lol. But...

    Anyone got any more information on this?. Can you do it without the full version of vagcom manually for example disconnecting the battery and ecu or is it a myth?.

    How to remove ECU plug?

    There's a locking sliding mechanism on the side of the ecu plug that when you pull to the side it releases the ecu plug so you can pull it from the ecu.

    Did actually start smoothing the bottom as you can see in the top pic and got rid of that adaptor can't see much changing by just smoothing that top part but i could be wrong, i think it would only prob benefit having a panel filter though because how the air prob's circulates round that.
