    My build thread....

    :applaus: I'd like to thank Andy for sharing with us everything he's done to the car, how it has performed as a result and now, most especially, when something goes wrong. That's true knowledge sharing. Too often in forums, people are prepared to talk about the ego building stuff, but go all...

    It was $AUD106, so I'd reckon less than £50 in UK

    Forge DV - Tips On How To Fit One Please

    warrencox wrote up an excellent tutorial. First thing I would say is why not try the new revision H OEM DV (part # 06H 145 710 D)? It's much simpler and the car stays "stock". Secondly, and they don't tell you with the Forge instructions, if the car has been chipped, you need an...

    EBC Red brake pads for 8P S3

    I'm hoping someone can help with the part numbers for EBC Red brake pads suitable for the 8P S3. I can't seem to get any sense from the Australian distributors, and the EBC web site doesn't seem to work very well. Thanks for your help

    Bluefin chip on 2007 Audi S3

    Was the car smoking at all before the flash? I would suggest reverting to the stock tune and seeing if that has any effect.

    OEM offset on 18" S3 rims

    There might be some variations. I had a set of original 8P S3 wheels, which were 18x7.5, ET 56. These were off a 2007 build. I currently have a set of RS4 reps, 18x8, ET 42. These rub -- very slightly -- at the rear on the screw holding on the inner guard, at about 11 o'clock. Not big...

    Another ETKA request: part # for Revision H of VAG DV/bypass valve

    I think I have found it, based on a MkV forum thread. The part number referenced there is 06H 145 710 D. I know nothing about ETKA -- do VW/Audi share the same numbers? :uhm:

    Another ETKA request: part # for Revision H of VAG DV/bypass valve

    I'd be most grateful for assistance on this query, which should be of interest to all 8P S3 owners. I'm guessing this will be the DV listed for the TTS, and possibly the 09 facelift S3 (probably also Golf Ed 30??). It is the remote DV now located at the front of the engine, RHS facing the...

    S3 tuning: what's the difference between the diverter valves and the by-pass valve?

    Crikey, I am learning more and more! Wasn't aware of either the different springs or the service kit, so I guess I'll get onto Forge to obtain same. Sounds like the new plunger might resolve the reported issues about sticking. Thanks mate!:salute:

    S3 tuning: what's the difference between the diverter valves and the by-pass valve?

    Thanks Warren...that's absolutely brilliant -- much clearer than the Forge instructions...:applaus: Have you experienced any problems with the Forge? Iggu...I get the sense reading Rabbit's thread that he also installed a BOV. Is that right? I wonder if that might have been a factor in...

    S3 tuning: what's the difference between the diverter valves and the by-pass valve?

    OK, I've clarified my confusion. Thanks everyone for the help. The situation is as warrencox and VRStu say: the 8P S3 controls boost pressure via a solenoid controlled valve at the front of the engine, RHS (slightly under the engine cover). The only current after-market replacement for this is...

    Struth, Liam...here I am trying to understand 2 valves, and you throw a third one in!! :haha:

    S3 tuning: what's the difference between the diverter valves and the by-pass valve?

    Thanks warren, I really appreciate your contribution...now we're getting somewhere, and I hope others chip in....because I'm still confused! :redface: So you have the same Forge one as me. My understanding is that is this by-pass valve that replaces the OEM one mounted on the valve flange on...

    S3 tuning: what's the difference between the diverter valves and the by-pass valve?

    That's the question(s): Are they different? Which should you change? Should you change both? Are Forge/APR the only choices? All the discussions I've found hitherto just talk about "replacing the DV/diverter valve" and it wasn't until I received my replacement Forge bypass valve that I notice...
