:hubbahubba: HEY GUYS JUST GOT MY S3 ITS IMOLA YELLOW DROVE NY BABY BACK FROM NEWCASTLE TO LONDON N WAS A BEUTIFUL DRIVE BACK LEFT A 3.2 QUATTRO, VXR T, N A 350Z ON THE WAY BAK:rockwoot: WAT U GUYS THINK!
 
the car was in the classified section advertised by nervous. i was in two minds either this or the bm 325ci m sport but was hard finding one with smg gearbox but when i drove the s3:wub: i fell in love with it and the colours amazing. i was planning to get a dump valve on the car by next week. do you know whos the best?
 
Get either the hyperboost or the forge 007 diverter valves
 
here we go again :D

hi buddy, great buy :icon_thumright:

do a search on the forum regarding dump valves, they're not recomended on the 1.8Ts...
 
ok thanks i want just one thats safe to use and makes a big wwwwoooosssshhh! :yellowrs4:
 
Dont do it. You would be guilty of turning a refined car with class into a chav mobile only fit for cruising high streets and mc Donalds car parks.

nice welcome

Yes, fair enough, just re-read my post and it's a bit harsh. All A3/S3 newbies welcome of course, had a bad day and just saw the caps lock and txt speak. Nothing personal and no hard feelings.

Enjoy the new S3 - fantastic choice of motor! Great colour too, second only to black.
 
**** im gona have to sell the s3 and pick up an fr#kin escort!:scared2:
 
hahahaha

Seriously though, you can get some valves that part recirculate and part vent to atmosphere. Might be one route to take.

But the reason for the recirc valve is to recirc the compressed air back round to the turbo inlet, to keep the turbo spooling during gear changes, throttle lift off. (Just in case ya didn't know, sorry if you did)

:)

cool mate im probably gona go for a forge 007 and a ramair filter that should do the job.
 
i think that was the s3 i was gonna buy but was too late, the guy had already said he'd keep it for someone who had booked their flight up from London. :( well done if it is that one. nice car!

yeh cheers mate im am gona get some pics soon!
 
ive got a cold air induction kit and a forge 007P diverter on my remapped 1.8T A3, and i can certainly say the sound from the forge is LOUD.

not as loud as your typical scoob, but my mates can all hear it from a good few hundred yards away apparently. its just a FAR nicer sound than a recirc, its still a woosh, but somehow more refined, and obviously not atmospheric.

go with the forge, you wont be disappointed!
 
Hi Saf,

I'm glad your happy with the car! Don't bother with an airfilter mate, the factory one is very good as it is power wise. Just make sure you change it regularly i.e. every 10k or so. I've PM'd you also!

Go easy on him guys, he's a top fella.

@ Wawab, yes its the same car I think - Andrew right? I promised Saf first refusal as he went to a lot of trouble to come up and view it.

Ah Yes, thats right, there was another guy interested from borough, he must have been Andrew. There are lots around for sale but not many with low miles and in excellent condition

It looks like you found a mint Silver one thought!

TBH, The S3 looks fab in most colours except black IMO. Well not that it doesn't suit it but they just look like A3 T's at first glance but I guess that appeals to alot of people!
 
hey how you doin mate loving the car!:hubbahubba: hey guys how do you post pics on her? :think:
