    after remap TURBO SQUEAL, anyone any idea?

    there are plenty of posts on this screeching noise on audiworld.com - seems to be a bit of a mystery... just search on screech through the TT forum. apparently mainly confined to revo remaps.... getting rid of screens or something in MAF reduced the noise. but i notice u have a big maf housing...

    Euro / Dished rims

    they are avalanche rims by breyton. the yellow s3 with the porsche stoppers and breyton avalanche wheels used to be milan's (owner of www.tccamotorsport.com.au) atp are slightly different.

    S3 revs not dropping!!!!

    it sounds like the clutch switch not working again. does this happen while idling in neutral... you raise the revs and they take forever to fall? if it does try pulling the accelerator pedal up with your hand and seeing if the revs drop. that was the problem i had and needed a new throttle...

    POLISHING

    if its a random orbital you will be fine esp. since i'm guessing that autoglym stuff is more of a scratch filling rather than cutting polish. let the weight of the buffer and the product do its work - don't apply pressure. buff off by hand and note you should never use a circular motion as...

    Need advice TT '04 with RSTT 18"

    get lighter wheels. you are likely suffering performance issues because of two reasons: * new rolling diameter has increased over your 16" wheel and tyre combination * new wheels are heavier a friend with an a3 went through this recently (in fact with 18" RSTT wheels also)... felt boggy...

    Audi S3 FMIC experience + pics

    i have the same intercooler in my TT. if there is any pressure drop the drop in intake temps more than make up for it as there is no apparent additional lag and more go at the top end and consistent performance irrespective of temps. ps. my crash bar fitted back on over the FMIC

    Another boost gauge question (again)

    Looking at the headlight switch assembly, use the light blue wire on the headlight switch - will permit dimming control on the gauge too (assume the S3 is the same as the TT) Pic (thanks to blue ttp from audiworld):

    Clarkson on S3's

    [ QUOTE ] scoTTy said: It just shows that his review is written with preconceived ideas. Just because of the styling of the TT led him to expect so much he slates the car. Because the styling of the S3 is just a "1.8 litre, three-door hatchback" he was pleasantly surprised. The fact that they...

    my S3

    [ QUOTE ] cyuen said: R32 rear anti roll 19mm [/ QUOTE ] Interesting, the TT guys in the US have been putting 19mm Neuspeed Rear ARB's on for years in combination with the stock bar up front. They swear by it, love the results and have not had any snap oversteer probs. Neuspeed is too...

    [ QUOTE ] scoTTy said: It's not really surprising since I know of no public dyno that can create anywhere near normal airflow and pressure. I'm not saying you're wrong (or right) but a dyno won't show it. [/ QUOTE ] Good point however i've only ever seen one real ram-air type setup where...

    Next Step

    Engine-wise from there I went: * exhaust (take a look under the rear at the stock squashed pipe section). I went custom 2.5" without resonator. I've heard a couple of different resonated exhausts and they are extremely subtle and quite. Mine is much the same until WOT. * FMIC Air intakes don't...

    Newbie here and i need help!!

    forget the BOV - the standard revised replacement 710N Bosch bypass (recirculating) valve is the way to go. As for bang for the buck... chip, exhaust and fmic in that order. ...though thats not going to get u 300whp ...will need a big turbo upgrade for that.
