I looked into extending mine last week. Girl at Lomond Audi said that the warranty was £525 inc VAT, BUT the car would have to go in for a 71point check at a cost of £84.00+VAT and anything found faulty would have to be replaced / repaired before they would grant the warranty.
Asked girl to...
I have read on here a few times about the AGU head off the 150 1.8T having a much better flowing head due to the larger ports. Would this not be an excellent mod for S3 owners??
Question is, why didn't they put this on in the first place?? I'm confused!

I know this. But my original statement, in response to a fwd being destroyed by 4x4, was

But I still disagree with the...
With regards to the open road allowing for much better performance, would it not be MUCH better to have your car custom mapped whilest driving it out on, say a motorway rather than on a rr??
Surely the conditions would allow for a much more accurate map?

Yes have to say quite like that too! More 'super sporty' than 'classy' I would say, but nice none the less.
Pitty all you can here is the fans. The ol turbine's lovely noise chirps through though!
Cars looking great Rich. Love the bumper with the visible hard pipes!
Dunno? The colour was I know that but not sure about the interior. As you just said, they all seem to be black so be different!
No offence to folks with black seats btw! Just prefere silver!

Thats because your turbo is only running just over 1 bar at max power rpm ie 5800rpm.You will have a shed more torque than me because you are running 1.4bar lower in the range ,boost is proportional to torque so thats why you have 300+lb/t and i only have 263lb/t.

My mate has a Fiat 20V Turbo and gee's its quick. Beats my S3 but the feeling of the boost coming in, half way round a corner is not pleasant, especially in the wet (like all the time ). Oh, is that the trees my cars understeering me into???
FWD cars handle nothing like a good 4WD set up. Yes...

stage 2 chip aint the one supplied to normal customers, its developed for race use, info was on the mongoose website and was supplied only as special order before the website changed
[/ QUOTE ]
Did you have it done or was it something the previous owner had done?
My guess would be the bleed valve you are running. I take it you have a boost gauge? If not, running a bleed valve with out a gauge is disaster waiting to happen as you could be running crazy boost and not know anything about it.
To me, sounds like the car is running to much boost and is...
