Power upgrades and Bigger brakes

[dennis_S3]

Hi all. I have a 2003 S3 that I put a K&N induction kit on, AMD stage 1 remap and custom made exhaust. It currently running 254BHP. Can anyone help with some further power upgrades without going internal on the engine? I am going to get it a de cat on it but not sure what else?

Also are the any better/bigger brake callipers that will bolt straight on? RS4? SEAT Cupra etc??

thanks
matt

Bin the K&N, and get yourself a Badger5 3" TIP with a cone filter, decat it, stick a FMIC then get a custom remap, 275-280bhp which is rod safe power. LCR brakes are a nice upgrade for the power level.

Hi Jojo, thank you for your post. I am new to all this so want is a FMIC? Plus I am guessing LCR is Leon Cupra R? Do them brakes bolt straight on or do I need to get new carriers? If so where do you get them from? Will the work with the standard size disc?
Thanks
Matt

FMIC = Front Mount InterCooler

LCR(yes, Leon Cupra R) brakes is a full bolt on kit, discs, pads, calipers, carriers and brake lines.

Do you need the 323 LCR discs? Or will the 312 S3 disc work?

323s, 312s won't work.
