Does anyone know whats the biggest discs with porsche calipers will fit 17" alloys on an 8L S3 and where i can get 2nd hand calipers from. I'm on a tight budget for this upgrade so new calipers would put it in to 4 figures. Awesome sell the caliper mounts but i need to know the caliper options...

My 210BHP AMK has VVT

As far as i know the only diffeance between the 210bhp and the 225bhp is the standard spec ECU map. When they first bought out the S3 they didnt want it to be as powerfull as the TT so it was restricted. If u get a remap done on either engine it will produce similar figures so theres not much in...

Does it list the engine codes it is suitable for on the forge website or do they think it will fit every 1.8T

Note, i have replaced the cable tie seen in the pic that came on my engine cover when i bought the car with the correct plastic screw from Audi, No **** taking please. .... lol :s3addict:

Sorry i'm a bit late with pics but here it goes... This shows the old hose removed, i moved aside the turbo hose to gain access to remove the crimp clips holding the vacuum hose on. The most difficult part is pushing the new hose on the bottom pipe, its a tight fit and you might need someone...

Yeah its a relocation kit from forge for the DV, dead easy to fit. Not sure of any noticable gains yet from the bits i've put on, maybe it doesnt like the hot weather. Im planning for a FMIC, full milltek system and remap by the end of the year. I've also ordered a blue hose to replace the...

Ok thanks i'll check it out, might be worth doing gasket as its cheap to do and go from there.

I'll get some done at the weekend, keep an eye out.

Does anyone know the VAG part number of the LCR splitter? My local Audi dealer will get anything from the part number, the ones that dont will probs not have the ETKA parts CD rom for anything other than Audi, there is one for each franchise but if your local area has a skoda and seat dealer...

Got some pics done now. first mods done too, got some aero blades and some forge bits. Wheels and suspension next. Feel free to leave feedback. Thanks......

Got pics sorted now.

It is a cone and it comes with a plastic shroud with a ducting take off on it to fit a cool air feed, i covered the shroud with 'adhesive backed heat barrier' to reflect the heat. It sounds good but not noticed any power gain, its never been rolling roaded though. You can hear the forge DV when...

My S3 seems to have developed a slight oil leak, i have noticed oil sat on top of the gearbox bellhousing so it must be from the right hand side of the engine if looking at it from the front. Is there any common problems with cam cover casket etc, its hard to see where its coming from but the...

I have one on my S3 AMK, it goes on the left side of inlet manifold under the other vacuum pipe, dead easy to fit, my old one did look a bit mushy inside so worth changing them.
