Great car and build thread. I'm close to buying a set of the ST X coilovers. Just wanted to know your opinion, obviously you've said they're to soft for track driving. I will be using mine as a daily driver and the odd fast road use do you reccomend them for this or do you think there are better...

A few things for sale as I've now sold the S3 :-( Full turbo back standard exhaust system from 2010 S3 Sportback - £150 Engine cover/intake from the same car - £100 Front grill, standard chrome S3 grill with parking sensor holes (has been plasti dipped but will need re doing or peeling off) -...

I gave mine loads of coats of plastidip. I don't think it needs to look amazing, just needs to be dark so it doesn;t stand out.

You did put a link in a previous comment, is that the one to buy for the S3 8p? Is it a direct fit or does it attach to part of the original dv?

I've never had it before though. Only started the other day and the car doesn't seem to hold boost and seems under powered.

I'm getting the same as this. This guy has changed to the rev D DV but still seems to be getting compressor surge. If you watch the video it's at 16secs and 44secs. He has a mk 5 golf gti APR KO4 setup.

Does this fix compressor surge? I have no other problems. The sound I can hear isn't very loud at all but like the boost is fluttering/hissing.

Am I right in thinking rev G has a diaphragm and rev D has the piston?

Which is the best rev D or G? And where's best to get it from, the stealers?

My car is stage 2 APR. Over the last few weeks I've noticed I have turbo flutter when lifting off the throttle but very intermittently. Today at I'd say peak boost although I have no boost gauge there is a very fast flutter/hissing noise which sounds boost related and a slight drop in power...

200 cell passes fine mate

It would run fine I had my powervalve on for about a month before getting it mapped and never had a light come up. Ran as normal too. You may find certain exhausts throw up lights more than others though.

I have the full turbo back with sports cat powervalve and it is worth saving for. They do a full time sports system without the powervalve too. Maybe ring up and see if they will do a cat back if theres a few people after one.

As promised a graph of my dyno results.

When I get chance I'll probably send them an email. I have the original coilpack as I asked for all standard parts back. But they had binned the plugs, cost me and extra £115 but they didn't charge me for labour.

Yeh there's a couple of things that I still wasn't impressed with. Like the fact they threw my old spark plugs out that were 2 months old so I had to buy new ones and they pressured me into buying red R8 coil packs. They probably are better but I don't know if they are or not. At least it's all...

It'll have to wait a few days as I've left it in the car and gone away for a few days. Got to drive a 1.4 meriva.

Yup all sorted now. I've not had chance to update this as it was my birthda, been busy etc. Picked the car up on Friday and was allowed to test drive my car for as long as I wanted. Drove it round for about 40mins so it was fully warm and it drives great. No misfires and much smoother. The...

Maybe someone spotted my thread I've only ever been honest in this thread. Some threads I've read in the past and not necessarily on this forum are just made to slag certain tuners off. I've just passed on my honest impression of what's happened and given credits where it's due. I hope the...
