In Romania are two (one is mine) and i'm sure Andy's 360 Bhp Stage2+ S3 would have done the same. Now it is to late and it will do 12 sec only if he messes up the start :-) By the way, here is an old movie when my S3 did 13.0 on a 1/4 mile and back than it had only an exhaust and software...

Andy, passenger seat and back seats are optional at Santa Pod, so low 11s / high 10s are plausible if you get a good launch :-) And at +500 Bhp and God knows how many NM's, i think he shouldn't have any problems with the launch. ;)

12 seconds for the quarter mile is a time for modded K04 S3's. You should achieve 11 seconds quite easily or maybe some high 10 ;)

Just do it and let us know how it goes :-)

~ 5000 miles.

First i had a KMD Pump which failed after 2.000 miles (found some petrol in the engine oil, not very good :-) Now i'm running with an APR pump which works great so far. I've changed the cam follower at 30.000 km and it looked like new. The same applies for the cam lobe. I think the Motul 300v...

That's what i thought too so i took it easy for around 150 miles. Oh, and i think twice before launching the car aggressively :-)

Jonny, did you run in your clutch ? If yes for how many miles ? Also someone i know with an EVO IX (changed 4 clutches in 10.000 miles for obvious reasons :-) ) but after the OEM clutch failed, he only changed the clutch plate without the flywheel. The new clutch failed in less than 500...

Like Jonny, i have a Sachs (SRE) organic clutch which runs with the OEM dual mass flywheel (also changed) and it works perfectly. What i don't like is that now the clutch pedal is much harder (at least 3 times compared to stock).

Jonny, I've told you already that you have a great S3, probably the fastest 8P on this forum. But more important is that you are also a great guy and you share with us everything you do on your S3 ! Also you helped me with your excellent feedback a couple of times ( EVO MS, Sachs SRE, etc. ) !!!

I have just looked over Superchips website and they have a Stage 2 , 3 and 4 for the 2.0 TFSI engine .

Actually i know this guy, he is from Romania :)

As far as i know the Haldex Gen2 unit is the same for 8P A3/S3, but the S3 has different settings (software). This is the reason why i didn't buy one yet. I'll wait for someone with an 8P S3 to give a proper review so that i won't be a guinea pig, again :)

As far as i know the pre face lift 8P S3 uses the same Haldex unit and settings as the face lift 8P S3. Phantom, can you post some info about what you just said ?

The TT-S uses the same Haldex 4x4 as the S3, so the transmission losses would be the same. Anyway, i wouldn't change a 4wd car for a 2wd car beacause traction is a big issue especially over 300 bhp. Also i want to drive my car quickly not only in a straight line form 30 mph ... (make it 50 if...
