So had my S3 for just over a year now and thought I'd post a build thread, I never really thought I'd do one of these so the pictures etc may be a little out but anyway here goes
This is the car just after I got the wheels powdercoated black just a few days after I picked her up;
So my first thing to do was to go APR Stage 2+.. At the time there weren't many people that had gone this route especially with the DSG S3.. But I thought the car could be a bit of a weapon with the Stage 2+ and DSG Combo
I went and got the ITG Maxogen Intake, Autotech High Pressure Fuel Pump and Milltek Turboback Exhaust
After the parts were installed I then got the APR Stage 2+ Remap on the ECU and the car became a little monster! Below is the power it made;
I then went and got the Airtec Stage 2 FMIC to help hold the power a little more when the car was under stress at Dragstrip Days or Track Days;
So that was my Stage 2+ Package complete so I then added some H&R Springs just to help the car sit better and also got the wheels a different colour again just to stand out a little from the average white Audi!
So after a little while the time came where I wanted even more power from my little S3 and thought the TTE Route would be the way to go and boy, I wasn't wrong The Autotech HPFP couldn't cope with what was being asked of it so it was time to sell it on and purchase the APR HPFP to replace it!
The Milltek Turboback also became a restriction due to the backbox and how it was shaped, I had to go custom for that area so it has now became a Hybrid Milltek lol.
After that I got the APR Runner Flap Delete, APR Low Pressure Fuel Pump, Neuspeed Charge Pipe, Neuspeed Discharge Pipe and Bespoke 165bar FPV
Neuspeed Charge Pipe;
Neuspeed Discharge Pipe;
APR HPFP;
APR LPFP System;
Runner Flap Delete;
And of course the Hybrid Turbo itself from TheTurboEngineers;
The APR Stage 2+ Map took well to the TTE Hybrid but I wanted a bit more power and torque from it as I knew the TTE was capable of more and it proved me right! With a Custom Map from Stan @ Ecotune and also a Custom DSG Map it made 426bhp and 454ftlbs! The car was a little supercar killer and gets you a lot of surprised faces

You can see many, many videos of the car on my YouTube Channel -

Just a few pics of the car as of now with the new lighter TD's fitted;
This is my first ever build thread and you have probably noticed haha, I'm not very good at these type of things but anyway thought I'd post up and give you all something to read any questions then just ask! I've missed out lots probably and I bet you I notice later lol...
I think this video shows just how the car is running now;
Thanks a lot for reading and sorry if it's a bit amateur'ish!
