stage 1

Looking for some advice , Been told my auxiliary fan belt tensioners went but another mechanic has told me my alternators went aswell , horrendous whirring noise coming from the fan belt, 2019 S3 8v FL , tuned at stage 1 don’t know if this has an impact on this happening or it’s just wear and...

Morning all, I’ve been looking at the forum for a little while but have joined now I’ve found an Audi we’re looking to buy. It’s a 2017 S1 Comp in Sepang blue. It’s on 96k miles with a stage 1 at around 44k and then a Sachs organic clutch installed at around 74k. I’m told it’s got a FSH and...

Hi, I’m new to the group and have a plaguing problem with my 2017 TTS (I’ve posted here aswell as the TT forum being the same engine as S3, sorry if I shouldn’t have). It has a stage 1 ECU/TCU from Unicorn Motor Developments producing 376bhp. I purchased the car with maps already installed in...

Hi, I’m new to the group and have a plaguing traction problem with my 2017 TTS. It has a stage 1 ECU/TCU from Unicorn Motor Developments producing 376bhp. I purchased the car with maps already installed in 2021 and the car was rapid quick , the TC light barely ever flashed in the dry under...

Hi chaps. Just had my S3 tuned on the dyno by Mallory Performance and I have to say if the car put a smile on my face before now it’s even bigger. On thing that caught my eye was on the base run to see what the car was running stock it came up as 322BHP! I was expecting this to be around 306-310...

Hi All, I recently got an ECU stage 1 remap for my Audi A3 saloon. 2013 plate and it has done 53,000 miles. BHP went from 138 to 170, and torque from 250 to 300 - so about 20% increase. I won't name the company yet but they seem to be a big company, and part of what they call the 'Quantum...

Hello. My car was re-mapped (ECU and TCU) last summer. There was no dyno at the dealers who flashed a new map from a reputable local (DK) supplier. The car felt more alive, but I expected more torque in low-mid range of revs. Also I liked numbers so I ran a dyno test later and was disappointed...

I have a 2012 audi a6 3.0 tfsi apr stage 1 and i was wondering if anyone has done a lpg conversion and if it has any problems. Thank you.

I've not been on the forum for a while but just happened to read through yesterday and felt I needed to post this really. I've had my car tweaked at Infinit, facelift RS3 (18) and the service has been absolutely second to none. I actually went to see him after the original Boycott page was...

Hello guys Yesterday i put a stage 1 motor and transmission tune on my audi s3 8v mk1 2014 they managed to get 365hp and a whopping 544 nm!? Out of my engine? My question is can this 6 SPD stronic dct handle that much torque? Also what is the max torque the 6SPD can handle? On normal...

Hey guys so I'm stumped I have a couple of problems the other day I went to start the car and it started ran for 3 secs and then died on me and will not start at all now just turns over so I've had it put on a flat bed all the way back to my house. Up on closer inspection when I turn the key the...

Hi Guys! Owned her for 2yrs+.. now its time to mod her and get her legs stretched! Car is booked in for some major work over the next few months - I will be filming it all! Check out my channel and follow if it tickles your fancy?

Just thought I would share my experience at R -Tech today with you all. Got there for 8 in the morning after a 5 o clock start, finally got my car inside at 8:50, didn't mind waiting spent most of the day playing pacman anyway, had the inlet manifold walnut blasted and the injectors refurbed, I...

Hi, I have a Audi A4 B8 1.8T with 120k on the clock. i currently have 160bhp and want that extra bit of power through the rev range. I want to know if anyone has experienced any issues after stage 1 remap, because of the miles on the car i dont want to put extra strain on the engine and turbo...

I recently got a new custom catback exhaust which sounds amazing, but I want even more noise now, Im addicted! I am already stage 1 with pops and bangs from unicorn and am more than happy with the power output, but to get more noise my thoughts are turning to a decat downpipe. My question is can...

Hi all, Thinking of getting Stage1.. Only concern, if I want to put it back to standard & sell the car. Can Audi pick up that it’s had stage1 on it? Many thanks.

Hi guys, Just stumbled across a CarThrottle video uploaded a couple days ago on a "piggy back" ECU called RaceChip I've never heard of a piggy back ECU before and it doesn't sound right ? I've always been under the influence that a remap is safer for the engine ? If you guys could shed some...

Hi guys, i am due a clutch and flywheel replacement and am looking at for a clutch capable of at least 450-500 nm of torque with ease. if you guys could recommend any kits, currently looking at the Sachs kits, unsure if their " Xtrend" kit will cope cant find any torque ratings on it, all...

Curious to see who has went down the Integrated Engineering route in the UK with their B8/B8.5 S4 and maybe hear some feedback. I know lots of people are "MRC or bust" but I'm interested to see what the results are of other options. I've come from MPS's where road tuning, datalogging and...

Hi all, i imagine this has been covered plenty of times just wanted to get a couple of suggestions, i have a 2011 Ibis White S3 with a CAI and a res delete, looking for more modifications, have stage 1 planned next year along with a sachs clutch kit and need suggestions on a good flywheel...
