Yeh the S3 is a great platform for big horse power.
All that on front wheel drive...Craaaaazy!
Yep that was exactly my thoughts so hopefully hes gonna upgrade the diff aswell.
Quaife would be my only choice. How does it fair on your monster Alex...?????
How come i've seen guys quoting figures of 389hp with APR, where as its generally 350-360hp elsewhere... Will a bigger cooler not be able to add the horses..
Partly rolling road lottery and that may be with WMI, high octane fuel and a seriously wrung out k04.
When you say the diff is snappy Alex do you mean it understeers then catches and can encourage the back to step out?
Yeah man... I was just wondering what the difference was with APR compared to the rest... APR seem to come with the pricetag too
What's the crack with these hybrid turbos? Do you just send off your turbo and a company modifies it or do you just buy the turbo already done?
Also what's the approx cost?

What at is a hybrid turbo?
Depending on the company,either option may be possible.
Loba for instance only offer a complete new turbo,whereas other companies may take yours in exchange.
You would be looking at around £2k for most of the hybrids available,plus fitting.
Alex, Loba do offer an exchange price ... LOBA LO400 2.0 TFSI Upgrade Sport turbocharger | 8J 2.0T-FSI 200 kW (272 PS) quattro | TT S | Audi | LOBA Motorsport GmbH

I'm not really too up on the process of the actual making of a hybrid turbo but over 1k including the old unit seems a bit steep does it not?
I'm sure a friend of mine had a vxr turbo done for under 400 quid?
Even better!
I think that's one of the best hybrid options available,and if they're offering an exchange rate thats another plus.
So if you have a stage 2+ car can this be bolted on a give 400+ Bhp when mapped to suit the supporting stage 2+ mods ?

That sounds VERY interesting
Realistically your not gonna need more then 400bhp on the road though. I would imagine a 400bhp s3 would be very impressive.
I've seen your build thread, as much as it would be epic not sure my pockets are as deep as yours
You may not believe this,but it just sort of happened over a few yrs.
If I added it all up I'd probably have thought twice about it,but the voices made me do it.....
Hi Guys
Ive currently got a Audi S3, with the following;
Revo Stage 2+ Map
Full power valve 3 inch stainless steel exhaust
loba and sach single mass flywheel and clutch
auto tech fuel pump and cam follower
weitech lower springs front and back
HandR wheel spacers front and back
AMD induction kit with heat shield
It hassnt been on a rolling road yet can anyone have a rough estimate on what they think it would be running, I'm told around 360bhp?
Is there anything i can do to squeeze out more BHP?
Thanks Guys
