    Turbo Problem HELP Required asap

    I've got RS7 plugs on mine (they are one stop colder which you need at Stage 2)....had zero issues with those for almost 2 years.

    S3 tuning - beyond "stage 1"

    Tuning companies offer a Stage 1 remap (ECU) which usually only needs improving/changing your air intake/restrictions into the turbo...but its not necessary. If you have a DSG then its recommended to remap the TCU also (to improve clamping pressure) and best done by the same tuning company as...

    8V S3 Tuning Thread

    @Martinbanshee absolutely! Do not hesitate to get the TCU map....and if you drive the car with care (ie. know how to play with the boost) then go high torque map. But I can tell you now.....I was mightily impressed with Stage 1.....but after a while I felt the lack of top end torque was what I...
