    Modifying a basic A3 8L

    Your right Dane, forgot to mention the improvement you will get off doing the air filter and exhaust won't be anything to get to excited about. But it can make the non turbo sound abit more powerful at least.

    Modifying a basic A3 8L

    You could debadge the boot, just leaving the audi ring's on. And spray the chrome surround on the grill at the front of the car. I did this and imo was a good improvement. Because it's a non turbo you will get quite a few people on here saying to sell up and get a turbo, i did anyway lol. But...

    How to remove ECU plug?

    There's a locking sliding mechanism on the side of the ecu plug that when you pull to the side it releases the ecu plug so you can pull it from the ecu.

    superkarl, i'm not sure about that cause alot of people change from panel filters to cone filters. That aren't as big as there standard panelfilter's. Alot of peep's on this thread must be assuming the filter i have on is small, but when the box wern't covering it, it looked quite large in the...

    Did actually start smoothing the bottom as you can see in the top pic and got rid of that adaptor can't see much changing by just smoothing that top part but i could be wrong, i think it would only prob benefit having a panel filter though because how the air prob's circulates round that.

    Had to push on at a slight angle for it to fit, and the filter was now at the top of the air filter box, so i ran my cold feed from the wing of the car through the standard box put a slight curve in it to sit nicely under the filter. I know people might suggest just installing a panel...

    Quite Happy With My Own Induction Kit Mod.(pics)

    I started off with the standard air filter box and took both the plastic attachments, adaptor's off the top and bottom of the box that just clip and slide out, the circular adaptor at the top of the airbox i removed and cut the end off so i could slip my ram-air filter over it. For the bottom of...

    Have had my Ram-Air Induction kit on the car for a few months, without the standard air box on and i think there might be a slight power loss prob's down to engine heat. And i know people do diy heatshield's and some people on here have mentioned you can't get a cone filter in the standard box...
