Could you please provide URL to the configurator where you can add DSG to the S3 Sportback? I´d say "your full of it" as there is no DSG for the S3 yet.

Company car man.. I couldn´t pick an Evo 5.. or even a new Subaru. It has to look clean and representative.

EDS is what prevents you from drifting or doing doughnuts with your S3. EDS - Elektronische Differenzialsperre should be EDL in english. Electronic Differential Lock. I´d say that most the complaints about the S3 not behaving as a "real 4WD" is due to the fact that you´re unable to deactivate...

Most Audis have this feature. Especially the S/RS- ones. Press ESP = ESP off | Hold it for 4 secs = ESP/ASR off But also all other S/RS have torsen and not haldex. At first I couldn´t believe that I was unable to deactivate ASR/EDS on my new S3. I never bothered to try this during test drives...

I´ve tried to sort out the real issue, default disabling the EDS, which you´re unable to disable even manually. The dealers and workshops don´t even have the technical specs for these security systems. Cheif mechanic told me "-Audi in Germany don´t provide us with information about how to...

There´s a total of three programs available from GIAC for the S3 TFSI. I´m only aware of functions in two of them. Contact your dealer and see if you can get a custom quote. If you want your car to be more aggressive you should definately go for Stage 3 and at the same time upgrade your...

You don´t have to take your car to the dealer to get GIAC - if you also buy the Flashloader, which you really should. GIAC program should be around 700 Euros, independent of if you buy Stage 1 or 3. Stage 1 is for cars with original exhaust systems - 305-310hp. Stage 3 is adapted for upgraded...

The list could be made longer but i think this is enough. MTM still solder a new chip in the box - stone age. APR updates the flashcounter - stone age. Revo updates the flashcounter - stone age. These three tuners will for sure invalidate your warranty if you crasch the car or break the...

Just want to know if anyone have retrofitted the USB adapter? I´ve spoken to my dealer which doens´t know if this is possible. Ipod adapter comes with both factory and retro fit but is it the same with USB?

If you have money and don´t wanna have problems - go for GIAC. Both APR, Revo and MTM use stone age technology compared to GIAC. And stage 3 won´t be a issue. You can first purchase the stage 1 program for the original system 310hp and the dealer will show you how to load the code with the...

Cool! If that´s true - it will be the first Audi with 2.0T transverse engine, DSG _AND_ Quattro in combination.

I would say that the salesman told you the biggest lie of 2007. I myself bought a S3 demo 2 months old with 450 miles on the clock. My car was driven like HELL since mile 1 and it outperforms every stock S3 I´ve raced and even a few chipped ones. I spoke to a GIAC reseller recently who told me...

You car have a different factory setup than the S3. You can fully disable EDS by holding the ESP button for 5 secs, which we can´t Have fun during the winter!.. I won´t.

Welcome to the club Wolfevo! You´ve just come in contact with the EDS. On ALL other Audis you can deactivate EDS, but not on the S3 8P. I test drove the TT 2.0T and by keeping the ESP button held down for more than 5 secs you disable both ESP/ASR and EDS. I actually think that this so called...

I think that this is the link http://en.bsrab.se/products/t1076/ BSR have a very good reputation here in Sweden. They modded my 1999 Volvo V70 2.5T with Stage 3 which with a new CAI gave it 272hp and 445Nm. Awsome acceleration from 40mph and upwards with automatic gearbox. You shouldn´t...

Wouldn´t it become a problem that the S3 8P´s electronic diff lock is unremovable. a.k.a you cannot turn it off by keeping the ESP button held down for 5 secs or more?

I haven´t modded my S3 yet but will definately go for GIAC. Their technique seems to be light years ahead of every other VAG tuner. And a friend of mine who works at the MTM dealer (and could give me a 40% discount on MTM) told me to go for GIAC even though it´s far more expensive. As far as he...

But of course the S3 is faster. It has 28hp more than the R32. 250 vs 278, stock. The R32 still handles better.

And don´t miss the flat bottom S/W!

I´ve had my S3 for 8 months and 10k miles. Really miss the DSG and the ability to turn off the engine without waiting for the turbo to cool down after driving hard, which you always should do with a car like this. The R32 also handles better than the stock S3. I´d say - go for the R32! (if you...
