    Large Port A3T Head on an S3

    I have read on here a few times about the AGU head off the 150 1.8T having a much better flowing head due to the larger ports. Would this not be an excellent mod for S3 owners?? Question is, why didn't they put this on in the first place?? I'm confused! Stevie

    300BHP (or as near as dam) WITHOUT a Turbo U-grade

    As ever, the requirement for extra power goes on. Having a hard time talking myself into the £4K for the whole turbo thing, I have been trawling the internet for other options. (which will probably get shot down in flames.. Enter Glen stage left) Firstly, having been on the Cupranet forum and...

    Custom Paint (Bumpers)

    After looking into the RS4 bumper, which I think is the berries (respect Rich ) I couldn't convince my self into spending all that cash on the bumper, the mesh, the P&P and then fitting and painting! So I went for the much cheaper option (and no its not because I'm Scottish). Painting the...

    Engine Management Light

    A little help please folks; My Engine Management light came on this morning but recently my temp gauge has also been playing up, could the problem be connected? I hope it is! Oh, the car is driving fine, incase anyone thought it was the coil pack problem. Cheers,

    S3 Driving Position - Too High?

    I've had my car for a year and a half and still find myself constantly fidling with the seat controls to put the seat down to give a more 'in the car' feel. I had a A3T a few cars back that had an ideal driving position where I could drop the seat right down and it felt real good. Question is...

    Evo or not to Evo that is the question

    I took a test drive in an Evo6 Rallyart yesterday. Oh dear, shouldn't have done that. I now have the bug for a new car. Having a 6 week old baby and 3 doors is becoming more of a pain every time we go out where the 'practicality' of a 4dr Evo would be very handy, not to mension the thing when...

    S3 3" Down Pipe

    I have heard recently about a 3" down pipe, replacing the crap standard down pipes. Starperformace are doing test in a little while but I was just wondering if anyone else had heard anything?? I spoke to a guy who was selling a 04 04 S3, (yes an 04, is on the Autotrader website - £23995) who...

    Cleaning Frenzie!

    Well after picking up a burd on Sunday (of the fethered variety) all over the wing I decided to give my brief a good cleaning but got slightly carried away! Not bits that are usually seen, but what the heck!

    Strange Characteristic?

    I have noticed that when accelerating hard, specaily on the motorway, if I come of the throttle ever so slightly the car seems to pull much harder?? When doing this I've been keeping an eye on what boost the car is running and it abviosly drops but at the same time seems to be producing more...

    Adjustable Boost - How too??

    Does anyone no if you can adjust the boost by adjusting the actuator? Done this on several of my older turbo'd cars. Just wondering if it is as straight forward on an S3? If so what kinda boosts everyone running? I'm currently running 1.4Bar, I've seen Glen posting figures of upto 1.85bar so...

    New Shiney Rims

    Thought I'd post a pic of me new rims to see what you all think? Had 19" RS4's liked them but fancied a change. Take a bit of getting used to all the same, there looks as though there is hardly any wheel there compaired to the old RS4's. Honest opinions! I've got the flack jacket on and ready!

Also, prices and where to get them on a supply only basis. My car...
