Hey guys Has anyone tried different cam timing like ****** or advance independent cams or both? What is best cam timing with going NA cams either exhaust only or intake only? I'm thinking of trying 1 cam tooth ****** of both cams to move the power band higher. Any idea or suggestion is...

Hello Guys, As the title states my S3 8L has developed vibration between 2000 and 3000 when I let off the gas. I've visually check all suspension, driveshafts, CV joints looke fine, allignment is perfect wheels are balanced. The car pulls and drives perfectly. exhaust doesn't hit the body...

Hey guys, I've been digging through the threads and I haven't found a definitive answer. My suspension is creaking when going slowly over uneven road allowing the body to move more than going faster and allowing the suspension to work more (if it makes sense). The other is knocking from the...

Hello there, As the title states my S3 8L bent 1 exhaust valve . I cannot specify the exact moment that happened. I did a random pull joining the highway 2-3-4th to around 6300rpm and then backed of the gas and changed to 5>6th on the overrun waiting for my speed to lower enough so I can join...

Hey hey guys, As the title states I have a few questions/concerns regarding the cam setup on my APY.. I've seen a few flowbench results on the 1.8t engine which showed the intake and exhaust flowing quite similar. EX cams on 1.8t are more "aggressive" than the intake cam so as not to choke the...

Hey guys, As the title states I'm getting boost cut after 5700-800rpm past 2nd gear. I know the turbo doesn't have enough air but it doesn't even try to boost it releases all pressure as per VCDS. I have around 155g/s mag flow and a slightly torn crankcase breather pipe. What I want to know is...

Hello there, I removed my SAI couple days ago with a 470om (couldn't find a 330 locally) resistor and now on cold start there's quite a heavy,raw smell of fuel. My question is does it require any fuel adjustment for cold start and will this affect engine longevity in terms of unburnt petrol...

Has anyone ever tried a pierburg MAF on a s3 8l or any 1.8t? Can you compare with a Bosch one. on TDI's they use it as a more reliable part, but nothing on 1.8t? Cheers

Hey guys, I uploaded some logs yesterday and a few strange things are happening which I cannot figure out for myself.. If anybody can check them and shed some light on what needs to be changed/upgraded. Main areas of concern are low MAF reading, lower boost than requested and right after the...

Hey guys I just did the n249 bypass and with a tripod connected the hose for the evap valve to the hose for the DV. Was the the right way to do it? If not what do I do? Thanks in advance! PS Its an APY engine s3 8l.

Hey guys, I've been thinking of replacing my oil pump as preventive maintenance but all I've found decent is a Febi "reinforced" onе and everything else looks c**p meaning cheaply made and low quality. Can anyone recommend a particular pump they've recently used or have been I'm looking for a...

Hey guys, Whenever you go look for a car do you prefer to buy a good car with lost of history at a premium or do you prefer a "okay" looking car with questionable history but say 1/2 the price and rebuild the bigger bits and maybe do a paint job and make it top notch?

Hey guys, Ross here newbie in the s3/turbo/4x4 world and after much reading and mostly friends who love these cars have given me guidelines on what and where but they mostly put together very fast/complicated projects together and drive them to the car meet and so on. I'm looking into building...
