    Haldex Gen 2 upgrade on (8P) S3???

    I confirm. The gen IV HPP is available both as a standalone and with the cabled switch. Haldex is also working on a remote control to switch between the three modes.

    Haldex Gen 2 upgrade on (8P) S3???

    If you look at the system in a STATIC way, what you say is somewhat true (speaking of motion and not torque). But DYNAMICALLY, when wheight transfers are involved, you CAN have 100% torque applied to the rear wheels. Remember that torque is not "seeing the wheel spinning"... You can see...

    Not much, in that particular point you brake from 122 km/h to around 72 km/h. What makes them glow is the fact that prior to that turn you make 3 similar turns with similar decelerations without having long straights in the middle to cool down.

    How can ESP and Oil temp be related??

    This happens every single morning? If so, you just have to convince the people of the garage to come to your place BEFORE you start the car. Then he sits in the passenger seat with the laptop connected to the OBD while you drive until al the facts happen so he can see immediately what the OBD...

    Yep, Milltek non resonated... Love that music... That's what I like of trackdays. You miss a bend and just go on the grass or dirt or sand... Almost zero risks... Then, on your way back home, you realize that all that obstacles on the roadside are so close to you that also the smallest...

    FORGE Intake (CAI) - Full Write Up: Buying/Fitting/Results

    The only difference between EVOMS and Forge intakes is the length of the pipe. There is little to no difference in the temperature of the air they provide to the turbo. We have measured the temperatures under the bonnet in several places and, when the car is moving, there is almost no...

    Orange S3 at The 'Ring

    I did 8.46 BTG on the 20th october. My S3 is standard except for Milltek TBE, HPP gen2, H&R springs, H&R anti-roll bars, EBC redstuff and dieselgeek short shifter. Probably no more that 270-280 BHPs I have a total experience of 14 laps at the ring. I reckon that someone who really knows...

    Twin twin exhaust

    Bastuck makes a twin twin for the S3, but they do not provide the valance. I remember posting a picture of a friend's S3 with this mod (that I do not like) some time ago...

    S3 - Nurburgring Lap Time / Upcoming Trip

    BTG stands for "bridge to gantry" where the bridge is the first one you see (with the Bilstein sign on it) and the gantry is the one with the RS4 logo on it. My car is not chipped, the mods are: HPP Gen II, Milltek TBE, dieselgeek short shifter, H&R front and rear sway bars, H&R springs, EBC...
