Hello all,
I’m looking for some advice/opinions on the best way to extract some more power from my 8l A3 1.8T quattro.
Before people jump in and say “buy an S3 instead” or “fit a K04 conversion” I don’t really want to go down this route as I like having the A3 under dog rather than the S3, My...
Hi All,
Ewan from Dundee,
I used to be on here a bit a few years back when I had my Imola Yellow 8l S3 which I Sold as I needed house funds, I've had a couple of RWD Mazda sports cars, an A4 2.8 V6 Quattro since but always wanted another 8l, I wasn't happy with the examples of S3s within...

Just found this Induction kit, anyone have experience or thoughts on it? looks pretty good to me, with the whacking big velocity stack on the MAF combined with the Badger 5 TIP & a nice cold feed I think that would be about as good K04 induction gets. Although there won't be...
Hi all, I'm usually over in the 8L section but have been looking @ a mates B5 S4 for him today & done a couple of logs with another mate whos a member here (Cheers Ross).
The car is having intermitant overboost problems so me & Ross did a couple of logs today, the car intermitantly overboosts...
Just fitted one of these to my S3 ---- VW Teesside - Online Shop - Audi Phatnoise
Now I'm aware there not the latest in ICE tech but I had one lying around that I picked up really cheap a few years ago, I never used it because I initally intended to fit an Ipod interface for my Ipod touch but...
Ok I mentioned in a previous post I'd got a set of £15 8000k xenon bulbs off ebay to replace the old factory 4300K ones in my facelift 8L S3, With the old ones the n/s had went orange & I didn't fancy the £100(ish) they cost each from Audi so thats why I've ended up with the cheap ones. I did a...
I have this copy of EVO magazine from sept 1999 & the cover story is The greatest 4x4 of all time, this consists of Lap times on the MIRA wet handling circuit & roadtests in the dry with a little write up on each of the 14 cars, 11 current models (of the time) & 3 past masters, the contenders...
My 8L S3 is only running standard power & while the brakes do fade after good work out a good set of pads up front would probably be enough to sort this, things is I have been given a set of Brembo 6 pots off an Audi Q7 for free, there Brembo 18ZR/ZL calipers, the same as Porsche Cayenne, VW...
Just serviced my S3 today & when getting the oil filter there was a choice of two, the other one being larger & taking an extra 0.4 ltr of oil putting the usual 4.6ltr fill up to 5ltr. Gave it a good long drain & whacked on the new filter with 5ltr of 5w 40 quantum platinum (fixed interval oil)...
I'm looking @ getting my 2001 AMK S3 remapped @ some point & when I spoke to Jim @ Star a while back he said its his own custom softwear he uses and not the Giac stuff I thought he would use.
Has anyone had one of his "own" maps or know anything about them??
Ewan.

Well finally got the S3 up the drag strip @ Crail today, best time was 14.511 @ 93.8mph which I'm pretty happy with as its a stock 210hp. Not one car beat me off the line as i've got a good bit of 1/4 experience in other cars & was launching her @ 5k rpm. I even tried it in fwd a few times by...
I'm getting a set of the above wheels that are in need of a refurb with the usual knackered polished lips, there genuine wheels from an 8P A3, think there BBS?
There 18"x7.5" 5x112 pcd ET54 so i think a set of FK 30mm 100-112 PCD adapters should have them sitting about the same as the...
I've had my 2001 8L S3 210 with 76k for about 4/5 months now & bought it with full intent on tuning. I intended on a stage 1 generic remap as soon as I got it as it was tailored for stock engines. I then decided on a few things first as precautionary measures, this should make a reasonable...
