Hey guys, I have a 290hp S3. Im wanting to up the performance to the 310-330bhp mark. What would you sugguest I do to get there. I have thought about a larger turbo - maybe a front mount intercooler? Any sugguestions will be greatly appreciated. Oh and i dont wish to start declaring...

PS2s are good so are S03 bridgestone F1 Pole Positions. I use GSD3s on my car and use them on the track. The tyres themselves are good under general road condtions but they do have soft tyre walls if pushed hard. However value for money you cant really go wrong with them for everyday spirited...

Skanky - Magnet - I would either use MOTUL or Castrol Formula R

I did a 13.714 standing 1/4 mile @ 174 km/h dated: 22/8/2006 at 14:27 Reaction time: 0.008 So its deffinately do-able. Comes down to: Heat; Fuel; Launch; Gear changes which are matched up with driver. However Ive had a go against a work mates 2003 RS6 and with the launch he couldnt touch me...

That is weird. As i have a dyno plot form a month ago ..and the only change i made was the exhaust (includign cats etc) and air filter and fuel, a slightly improved map (to fix air/fuel ratio) and i got 25kw @ the wheels difference from my last dyno plot 6 months ago.

260hp remap... hmm thats what you get for being in the UK... colder air temps.. better fuel.. I like mintex racing - however they produce alot of brake dust and your foreever cleanin your wheels. EBC Redstuff is also very good, but wont last long. I personally user Quinten Hazel pads -...

You can achieve 280/290 hp off the standard turbo without putting too much stress. Im boosting 20.4psi and back 3 months ago I was boosting 25.1psi .. The K04 whilst in world standards is still a small turbo - it can produce quite alot of HP if done properly, and unless you are doing alot of...

Interesting I can only manage 98km/h out of 2nd gear and 130 out of 3rd and 150 out of 4th and 215 out of 5th and 240 out of 6th. Have you had your car dynod?

The ECU will accomodate various fuel octane grades. The car takes approx 200kms to adjust to the different octane ratings. (source - Audi Mechanic @ Audi dealership)

Go for DBA slotted Rotors front and rear. This is what I have and i swear by them. I also do quite a bit of track racing and they dont warp like other performance slotted rotors and they have a kangaroo paw system which cools the rotor down faster. I paid: Rear: NZ$450 Front: NZ$600 check...

In New Zealand you would be looking at $28,000 - 31,000 So about 9,000-11,000 pounds?

I do 0-100km/h in around 5.5seconds and a 1/4 mile in 13.7 and my S3 is worked. RS6 should do 0-100km/h in approx 4.8 (stock) and a 1/4 mile in 13.6 approx (stock) i beleive? RS6 has more than enough torque to keep pulling whereas the S3 lacks the same torque. The only thing that is to your...

I use Castrol Formula R 10W-40 and find it ALOT better than the previous oil i used (Mobile 1 full synthetic).

Interesting how different markets dictate as to what changes and when changes are implemented :biggrin: So if your buying in New Zealand (and possibly Australia) this information will ring true. How much are they brand new over there, here they are $85,000, and typically depreciate 7% per...

I am very much a SuperChips patriot

Goto superchips.co.uk and get a superchips ecu..that will give you about 35hp and 70nm torque. Panel filter will give you 3-5hp (i recommend BMC) Remus exhaust will give you upto 15hp High flow cat / Removing cats will give you upto 8hp. Larger turbo down pipe will give upto 2hp but will give...

In New Zealand you have the following high octane fuel: Shell Optimax (95 octane) Mobil Synergy 6000 (now 95 octane) Mobil Synergy 8000 (98 octane) GULL Premium (95 octane) BP Ultimate (98 octane) Caltex Techron Premium (95 octane) I find BP ultimate gives the best results...

The standard clutch in the S3 is capeable of upto 300hp without trouble. However this is for everyday driving, cause keep in mind the setup with the clutch with regards to the Haldex "quattro" system. I launch on average once a day... and doesnt seem to hurt the car much... as well as that i...

Admitably i dotn have porsche calipers - however Quinten Hazel i swear by.. they do take A LONG time to bed in.. around 1000kms .... but once they have.... they are brilliant...and they last a while as well!
