    R-Tech Here I Come

    That's what I love about R-Tech... A lot of tuners would just bang a map on, charge you £300/£400 and shove you out the door... Not Niki though, he's just a VAG legend lol

    gloss black or matt black roof?

    Gloss all day long. As above, what colour is the car? If it's blue, green or black I wouldn't bother, it'll look pants... Silver and Red I'd probably do and Yellow could look kinda funky... It's down to your taste though ;) FYI - my mate wrapped his BMW in this weird matt gun-metal stuff and...

    Are you kidding? They're the more likely to crack than the windscreen man especially after a map lol

    Turbo sound

    The sound you could be hearing could be the turbo blades catching on the inner housing due to knackered bearings... The only explanation I have for the sound being on both wot and over-run... If it was a boost leak it would only be on wot and if the DV is dumping as it should, there will be no...

    whats the best stage 1 map to get for a standard S3

    True, but a custom map from R-Tech is cheaper than a generic REVO map anyway... and it's tailored to the engine and the place that does it is more likely to highlight any underlying issues ;)

    whats the best stage 1 map to get for a standard S3

    R-Tech or Badger5 My map was done recently by R-Tech, but I've also heard many good things about Badger5. I wouldn't personally go for a revo map... Because they're generic, you'll never get the most out of YOUR car. Every car is different and what works on one car and makes 270bhp could make...

    Anyone bought a turbo from this guy on ebay?

    Remember feedback doesn't really count for the quality of their items in that particular item... How many people would wait until it's fitted, never mind let it run for a few weeks before leaving feedback?... Always be cautious when buying stuff on ebay.
