Yes, it depends personally that much risk can take. I have had tuned cars 11 years and no problem so far. Maybe good luck ends some day but not so concerned about that. If something happens then have to pay. Motorsport is not cheap hobby:redrs4:
I'm thinking to get Full Revo Carbon Series Air Intake. You said that there is only slightly more intake noise and turbo spool. I suppose that it doesn't disturb in any way? I don't like noisy intake. Few years ago i had VWR600 intake and it had too much woooosh.
What is your opinion about APR TCU- tune? Some have criticized it to be jerky in some situations. Especially in coming to stop 2. to 1 gears. For example Revo says in their TCU- tune: 2nd gear is held unless you come to a stop.
Have you 6-speed DSG? I'm thinking which one (APR or Revo) to...
I have had my S3 now 9 months and agree your opinions. I made following mods because i was also little tired the lack of character:
APR Stage 1
VW R600 Intake
PedalBox
I have to say that now i'm happy. Car is more responsive at low RPM and make's nice boost after 2500 RPM. Also sound is better...
Is this based for which facts that R600 can't stop dirt as well as woven cotton?
This is from VWR website. Are they lying?:
The R600 domed intake filter unit itself is constructed from a TriFoam™ triple-layer laminate of open-cell polyurethane foam, which gives an exceptionally high level of...
Sounds great. I'm planning to get APR Stage 1 and after that Bull-X downpipe+sports cat. How about sound after installing DP? Is it nice and deeper on drone in high way cruising?
Oettinger has restricted torque for DSG in their tuning kit. This is from their's website: Audi S3 8V-->max. torque:
346 lb ft (470 (DSG 420) Nm).
I wonder why. Other tuners have basically 450-460Nm. Are they too conservative or is that really safe limit?
Are you happy with MTM? Is the character and 80-120 km/h times how much better.ABT seems to offer warranty solutions. Maybe also MTM for extra money.
I've never heard about MTB- tuning:confused:
Is there any differencies between ABT and MTM tuning boxes. ABT says that: All performance-relevant measurements and parameters are analysed, fine-tuned and translated into ABT POWER commands in an extra control unit. And for you, this means maximum fun and even more safety. Even if there is a...
Difficult to say because i'm just planning to buy S3 :blush: So i'm here forum. Now i have Volvo V60 D5 man. I'm just collecting information for my decision. Let see what happens under this year. There is some things to decide with car (man/s-tronic, magnetic ride or not, tuning possibilities)...
I have understood that ABT offeres warranty in Germany if you tune new car. And you can buy ABT tuned car from Audi shop. Is that right, have you experience about that? I'm in Finland and don't know how warranty works here. Have to check.
If ABT is so near Audi i wonder why they have not...
Have you experience about magnetic ride system and how reliable it is? I've read that it has two modes:normal and sport. I test drove S3 which has sport suspension and it was very good. Is magnetic ride worth to pay?
