    Knowing when to quit...

    So recently I bought an Audi A3 2.0TFSI Sport Quattro with the intentions of shipping it out to the Caribbean when I move there in a couple of months. After further quotes and consideration I have decided that the negatives outweigh the positives (freight + import tax works out close to the...

    2.0 TFSI + mods = to standard S3?

    Yeah mine is an 05 as well, seems that JJs think alike haha! I think because of the mileage you might have to check out a few other things like pcv, cam follower and other weaknesses in the TFSI. Seen a few threads on here about them which might be of some use. In response to your original...

    2.0 TFSI + mods = to standard S3?

    Yeah for the sake of £50 it's best to play it safe. What year is the one you are buying?

    2.0 TFSI + mods = to standard S3?

    Hi mate, I am in exactly the same boat. I just bought a standard 2.0T FSI Quattro as well. So far I have ordered Carbonio CAI, Neuspeed charge/intercooler piping, Forge Twintercooler, Milltek TBE, rev D diverter valve and a Shark STS to remap to Stage 2. Will let you know how I get on!

    The "Rimz" Thread ** Look here before requesting pics of specific wheels**

    I would also be interested in this as I have my eye on these: Audi A3 Quattro 2.0T > Wheels > OEM Alloys > ES#2185248 18" Euro A8 Wheel - Set Of Four - 4E0698025M1H7 I assume fitment would be fine but I would need to check the bore?

    rear arch gap help?

    Beat me to it! I was going to post a thread about this as my sport sits exactly the same, I was getting worried mine was the only one. Was hoping that it was just something to do with the springs etc and not that the car had been rear ended or something like that in a previous life without being...

    Remap options/question

    Sounds like a very decent deal! I wish I could do the same, unfortunately there isn't even a rolling road over here. It's like living in the stone age when it comes to tuning. My options are either to fork out on a ferry ticket then drive up to the nearest 4wd RR and remap dealership or get my...

    Thanks for letting me know, there are no dealers on Guernsey so will have to contact them directly.

    Remap options/question

    Might have been better to ask that question before ordering the Carbonio haha, oh well I will give it a try. The car is being taken to a hotter climate where it's hot hot hot all year round so was worried about heat soak and wanted something that would draw cooler air from outside the engine...

    Remap options/question

    Thanks for the responses guys. I had a Revo on my MK4 Golf and loved it! I have done a little more research and have decided to go for the Shark with the STS unit. Mainly due to the excellent reviews but also due to the fact I live in Guernsey at the moment and don't have time to come over to...

    Remap options/question

    I know this has been covered numerous times but could really do with some advice. I have an A3 2.0TFSI which will shortly have all the hardware requirements for a stage 2 remap. My issue is that I will be leaving the UK soon and heading somewhere that if I wanted any remapping done it would...

    Low Profile / Stretched Tyres wear out quicker?

    I was running Falkens and moved to 225/40/18 from 215/40/18 due to a number of reasons, even on the 225/40/18 tyre it said "not for use on 18.5j" or something along those lines on the side of the tyre so it may vary between manufacturers.

    Low Profile / Stretched Tyres wear out quicker?

    I had stretched tyres on my MK4 Golf, went through front tyres far too quickly! It was the outside of the tread wearing down due to cornering I assume...but then again my alignment may have been out. Had issues with grip as well, for looks and clearance they are fine but practicality not so...

    Front Bumper/Bodywork Question

    Wrong both times, I'm moving out to the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean. Not much of a euro scene out there as expected, mainly Honda and anything Jap. Couldn't see me driving anything else other than VAG so taking the car with me. Get everything I need to get done to it over here then hope for...

    Front Bumper/Bodywork Question

    Thanks! Does sound like the best solution both short and long term. How have you got your number plate fitted? I guess strong number plate sticker fixtures would be best as opposed to drilling, won't be doing any shows etc so doubt I will need to take it off once it's on.

    Front Bumper/Bodywork Question

    Hi all, I am new to the forum after recently breaking my own tradition of having VW Golf GTI's (MK2 then MK4). Last month I picked up an '05 A3 TFSI Sport Quattro in Akoya Silver completely standard...for now. I went a bit mad on the Forge and Awesome websites so modifications are in the...
