I can't bear to "chop" the top struts and heard some guys experienced knocking from the top mounts so I ditched plans of getting KW Clubsport. Went for PSS10 and now looking at the TTS wishbone for camber adjustment.

What is the max camber on the tts wishbone? N8, are they new or used?

Hello guys, I would like to run some negative camber on my S3 Sportsback and I was told to install the TTRS control arm which allows camber adjustment. I had a look at the TTRS control arm and it looks similar to the S3, except the ball joint where you adjust camber. Is it possible to just...

I just bought the Bilstein PSS10 and would like to set it up properly. Does anyone know the S3 OEM spring rates and arb size? I did a google and only managed to find the Golf R OEM arb size which is 21.7mm at the front and 21mm rear, is this the same for the S3 OEM arb? Anyone knows the...

I had erratic idle during cold starts at 1k rpm as revs drop to 800 rpm, no idle issue on warm starts. My 2009 S3 Sportsback was running the older version breather control valve, changed it to the newer version and resolved the idling issue. Best of all, the car felt much stronger like it...

Can these caps deal with the high oil and coolant pressure when car is out on track? They look fancy and I would like to pimp the engine bay a little but I also do not wish to have issues during tracking.

Results are out.... Engine power: 355.6Cv 485Nm @ 1.65bar, relative humidity 80%, ambient temp 27.5deg. Hardware: Owen Developments K04, THS i/c, Forge Twintake, Forge DV (yellow spring), Milltek downpipe, Bastuck catback, oem fuel pump. I wonder how much more power would the car gain in a...

Do you reckon the RS3 wheel housing will be a direct fit on the S3, are they of the same size/width?

Any suggestions for a splitter on the S3?

Did you fit just the air guide or the wheel housing inner too?

Oh I was actually referring to Owen Developments, their K04 turbo kit are popular amongst the local VAG owners esp those running GTI. I understand their K04 kit could do 380bhp easily on GTI, so on a S3 maybe it could touch 400bhp with necessary hardware? I suppose the Owen Developments K04...

^^ at 1.6bar, are you using the Blue or Red uprated spring on the Forge DV? My ride is a 2009 S3 Sportsback, I should be running on the Rev D DV? I understand the Owen K04 are good for about 380bhp; I am surprised that not many in UK (least in this forum) run their turbo as they are very...

^^ Some guys fr a popular workshop in Singapore that I met who were running Owen hybrid K04 on their S3 and GTI and goes to this local tuner who is also very experienced with Jap makes. I know boost controllers are common in Evo/Rex but have not heard many lads installing them in VAG cars. So...

I was advised to get the boost controller and a Forge DV before my stage 2+ custom tune. Reason being the boost controller will hold boost much better and also prevent boost from spiking to dangerous level. As for the Forge DV, it is also to hold boost better compared to the oem DV. My ride...

^^ are these RS3 parts too?

Anyone fitted the RS3 air guide on the S3 Sportsback? Are the RS3 parts for the wheel housing inner and air guide a direct fit on the S3? I would like to have some cold air directed to the brakes and the RS3 parts do look interesting. Wheel housing inner: 8P0 821191E (left) and 8P0 821192E...

Why just the rear ARB? Is it not recommended to do both Front and Rear ARB for more balance?

I bought a used set and wanted to fix it up but the VAG mechanic I go to advised me against doing so. He opined this would be a very good mod on the GTI but not much for the S3, sell it off and save some money for tea/biscuits. lol He also mentioned that the WALK needs to be greased from time...

Hi, anyone running the aforementioned combination on their S3 Sportsback?? I just had mine fitted and the tailpipe of the Bastuck sits relatively short under the diffuser... I was wondering if the tip of the tailpipe should at least flush with the diffuser?

^ Thanks m8. Would a DSG stage 1 tune prolong the lifespan of the oem clutches? Or should I wait till its shot and do the DSG tune after sorting out the uprated performance clutch?
