    Bilstein suspension upgrade

    Horses for courses. Funny as I would say chassis, remap, brakes :whistle2:. The chassis makes it just enjoyable to drive, then your extra power comes as a great bonus. Depends how you look at it i guess

    Bilstein suspension upgrade

    I would even say it was the best mod you can make to the car. It makes the car so much fun and engaging to drive and it becomes a really chuckable toy. It also means you can get the most out of your power and any extra comes as a real bonus.

    Head unit Recommendation

    you can play your iPod with a cassette (i do). the best OEM headunit that should fit would be the Symphany II. Dont think they've upgraded these with iPod connection, but they do also sell a separate iPod conversion, where, i think, it connects through the glove box. Have a look at...

    Wheel Spacers, Yes or No?

    Mines got 20mm all round. These were put on by a previous owner. They're a little over the max recommended (ie 10mmF/15mmR) so I was going to reduce them. However, the previous owner had put them for a reason, as they're needed (fronts at least) to go over the calipers. I would say the...

    300 bhp from a standard engine??

    Ive spent some time and money on getting the car setup correctly and I now want to start tinkering with power. what are the best/cheapest ways to get noticeable gains without going to stage 2 (money is now low so getting expensive things done will have to wait)

    300 bhp from a standard engine??

    I had read about airflow modifications to the turbo but hadn't made the connection with the terminology. I'm not really up on remaps (mine was done before I got it) and dont really understand why you would need to re-remap an engine for adding hard wear. why wouldn't one remap do for most...

    300 bhp from a standard engine??

    I hear mixed reports about the benefits of exhausts, downpipes and such (ie, losing boost pressure or something) could you also explain a 'hybrid turbo', how does it differ from a normal turbo? are they much cheaper to get than a BT upgrade?

    300 bhp from a standard engine??

    After reading Evo mag on their project to turn a 225 TT into a mini Veyron they reckon they can get 300bhp out of it 'without opening the engine'. Is this really feasible from a 210 or 225 engine without a BT upgrade and strengthen parts??

    Bose front door speaker Audi code number...

    Not sure mate, I have a little buzzy rattle coming from one of my door speakers. If you contact Stoke-Audi, on this site, they may be able to give you a part number. I'm not brave enough to remove the door panels, I'd be scared they wouldn't go back properly

    S3 money pit?

    great agruments, really enjoying this thread. for what its worth, I agree with the Doc and of the opinion that it can make a great used buy when you consider the whole package and their used price now. However, I felt no more than superficial love for my first one that had standard...

    S3 money pit?

    Hmmmm, I'm on my second S3 now. The first I got about 3 and half years back with 40K on the clock. I payed a fortune to get it but didn't have to spend much on it. I got rid because the repayments were to high, it was standard apart from a remap - it was nice but boring and uninvolving...
