I spoke with Rick today after he mapped this beast, booked in for poverty stg1 only for me though!
I cannot believe that the stock engine can handle that much power for a longer time. This is incredible.More clear dyno of Ryans s3
spool is awesome on this car near 650nm at 3500 approx
the problem is, the only way to find out is to do this...so big respect to the people pushing the boundaries
I have done 40.000 km already on 522 pk and 590 nm stock engine.the problem is, the only way to find out is to do this...so big respect to the people pushing the boundaries
Mileage on modified cars doesn't really tell you anything to be fair. You may potentially have that power under the throttle pedal and never utilise it so claims of 10/20/30k miles can be misleading.
The cars really need to be abused at those levels to verify longevity. Numerous track days, Autobahn/Runway/Vmax testing at high speed, regular 1/4m drag racing racking up hundreds of launches etc.
You could run 650hp through the engine once, claim the engine is good for 650 and then never spool up the turbo again.
You need a higher sample rate at these power levels and logged track event/high load activities on the engines to verify where the engine sits safely.
300ps designed engine, 100% tolerance would take you up to 600ps, 550ps gets you up at around 85% . Some cars have these kinds of tolerances but the majority do not. Of course, it's torque that kills rods, keep the torque capped at low rpm to avoid high peak torque values and you naturally protect the engine a little more but tuners soon find the weak spots.
I'm sure there have been a series of failures of the 2.0T EA888 engine below 550ps, perhaps their owners drove them hard and the owners that are at 550hp 'safely' just now with no issues are not driving them hard.
Rogier/RedS3 Reilly.... Would you be confident taking your car to the Nurburgring and doing a few laps flat out followed by a top speed run on the Autobahns 180+mph on the way home? Followed by a drag strip event a week later? If the answer is 100% yes, then fair enough, you have full confidence, if the answer is, well 80% yes, 20% niggle in the back of my mind that something would let go, then that niggle is always going to be there when pushing the car on.
The post isn't a dig, just putting some perspective on mileage claims regarding ''safety margins''. You may both be fine at 550 tootling back and forward to work on your daily commute, but another owner at 475 may blow theirs at the Nurburgring driving it hard.
Good to see the engines being pushed though and owners taking those leaps
Not sure that any driver of higher powered vehicles redline it everywhere they go, I don't floor it every single time I drive it as that's not practical or legal, I do when the opportunity arrises open it right up and have a lot of fun with it and yes I do take it to drag strips and have v maxed it several times, I would expect by doing the ring/autobahn & drag back to back, the temperatures involved would be huge and there would be a component that would fail somewhere or other.Mileage on modified cars doesn't really tell you anything to be fair.

Ha seen this guy about Edinburgh and he hooned it off the lights. Did sounds very good!Congratulations to Berat Aliu in his S3 8V using the TTE525R hybrid Turbocharger Installed by Ecotune and utilising there custom Software.
Managing a best 1/4 mile time of 10.859 sec @128.2 MPH at Crail Raceway in Scotland today.
Maybe the fastest S3 8V 1/4 mile time posted in GBto date and the first 10 sec run from a S3 8V MQB. Could even be fastest S3 8V 1/4 in Europe?
