A resonator delete will almost certainly introduce drone, it's what it's primarily there to prevent. Whether or not you find that irritating or not is down to preference and how you drive it. It'll only drone at a specific speed usually which is often around motorway cruising speed, in my Leon...

Interested in this also, need a major upgrade to my S3 brakes after going Stage2+. I was thinking vagbremtechnic grooved (not j hooks) all round, with new braided lines, Ferodo DS2500 pads and performance/race grade brake fluid. I don't think I need to go as far as bigger calipers and more...

Any half decent exhaust place who make their own systems should be able to cut a resonantor out and replace with a piece of stainless. Try a longlife dealer, my local one is Topgear Stockport who did this for me on my old Leon FR for around £90: https://www.longlife.co.uk/dealer I would say...

Maybe someone should ban him off this forum then, he's clearly not happy here [emoji23]

I know right. Just some bellend keyboard warrior. Nothing to see here folks.. move along

No mate, I'm active on this forum and help where I can. The preventative maintenance thread is a sticky for a reason pal, it has all the common failures and items listed in full that you need to make sure is kept on top of and contains far more accurate info than I can recite from memory, so...

Check the preventative maintenance thread that's a sticky on this forum that covers all the main stuff.

Make sure to tell Nigel at BCS you've come from the Audi Sport forums, he does a bit of a discount for forum members.

Right I get what you mean now about the Lambda extension, thanks for the explanation @prt57 So in my experience I didn't get any EMLs or warnings for ages while stock after getting the BCS TBE with downpipe and race cat fitted, for at least 12 months and around 5-6k miles. It then came on once...

Nope, don't know anything about a Lambda extension. Never technically went to Stage1 went straight to Stage2+ was tuned by R-Tech once I'd met all the hardware requirements so unless they did it as part of that but I'm none the wiser..

The best exhausts for these hands down are the BCS systems. They do catback and turboback systems either valved or non-valved. They're hand built stainless steel and have had many years of research and development on them, you won't get a better system for any amount of money from anyone...

Don't do it. Did it on my Leon Fr 2.0 TFSI and while it made the farts a little louder the drone was terrible on the motorway around 60-80mph and ruined it really. If you want a better exhaust note, buy a better exhaust. Wouldn't waste my time with half measures personally pal.

Ah nice one Samuel, I wasn't sure [emoji23]

Yeah that's the one I've got, minus the red writing. I wouldn't know about fiting tbh, I got my local German specialist to fit it alongside a bunch of other stuff, turbo inlet pipe and some other bits including a major service, as I wanted them to pressure test the entire system with the...

This is the one you want https://www.akstuning.co.uk/shop/home/186-genuine-rs4-fuel-pressure-return-valve-fprv-fits-tfsi-079130757.html You can get it from other places like AwesomeGTI but just make sure it's a legit one, not some **** off ebay

Yeah that's a good HPFP. More than sufficient for Stage2+ and would be good for Stage3 (big turbo) with supporting mods i.e. LPFP and 155/165bar FPRV over the 136bar RS4 one used for Stage2+, plus injectors, if you ever wanted to go that far [emoji857]

Ah yeah good shout Samuel, I forgot Stage2 is often doesn't require the HPFP and FPRV. But yeah as said above, you definitely want to get the intercooler alongside all this if going to this level as it's a huge increase in torque over Stage2 alone.

I guess you'll just have to take the 8V S3 to Stage2 and beyond Alex, don't see any other option [emoji6]

Haha yeah, I think it can be done all in for around £4k but I've thrown about £9k at my S3 in coming upto 3 years and still need a massive upgrade to the brakes and suspension. Brakes are totally stock and now struggling like hell with the power and the discs which are the originals are about...

Hey mate. So Stage2 and Stage2+ are essentially the same except the + usually means intercooler on top which given the amount of cash required to get to Stage2 alone, the few hundred quid extra to get the intercooler on for all the extra power and torque is worth it. Most people recommend going...
