The pre-ethanol runs were done with hood closed.

I’ll never understand why you made this video with zero flash lights showing what you’re actually doing . This is the most useless video I’ve seen

I am looking into brakepads replacement for the 8Y. Do you know if there is a place where I could find compatible brake pads for the car from different brands easily? It is very confusing right now, thank you.

How did you take off the intake manifold? Stuck on this part!

Love these videos so much. Thank you Brian!

Can you send link of when you removed the intake manifold?

For anyone looking for the 8Y harness you can get in touch with Unitronic directly and they will help, have just ordered mine from them, around $40 for the harness alone excluding shipping

Only thing I’m not doing is my down pipe install apparently it’s very easy to break and I do not want to spend 2k on a new one haha what’s your take?

Please advise where you bought the kit from as I’ve ordered 2 sets already and they keep sending the 8V harness. Appreciate your link

I had this done by the company in the link and I'm amazed how awesome this feature is! My wife is jealous. Highly recommend doing this.

Do you have a website link for these

I have about 11k miles now, the squeal is unreal like a freight train stopping. The dust accumulates almost the same day I wash the car.

I got my car dyno'd today on a Mustang dyno corrected for DynoJet numbers (I think they add 12-13%) since Mustang dyno's read low (known as the "heart breakers" lol). I am running a JB4. I was not able to dyno with plain old 93 octane. I had an E30 mix in it. On map 0 (stock), I ran 378 whp / 376 ft-lbs torque. Ended up with 446 / 434 on map 6 with a K&N drop-in and a Forge hardpipe, but I think I was having some heat soak issues because I think I should have been up around 475whp. The place I had the car dyno'd at didn't dyno with the hood open. I ran an 11.3s @ 125 on the dragy last month on the same map with a 1.9s 60' time, which is a crappy 60' time. If I were down in the 1.7's, I think this would be a <11s car. I don't think a 3,600+ lb car could trap 125mph with only 446whp.

I’ve got a TTRS 8s with only downpipe, midpipe and no tune yet. Do you think the car would be okay if I added 1-2 gal of e85? Do you think it would do anything?

Great review on a low dust brake pad option! What thickness of spacers are you’re running? Reason for asking is because my rears are 15mm thick and it rubs the rear fender plastic piece. Is that the reason you removed yours? Thanks

What do you use for data logging Brian? I need a software for logging as Im currently trialing a tunning box and need to make sure AFR and Timing is all in order. Thanks

Question here about the all season tires you had installed. I feel the car has a lot of road noise on the interior on rougher roads. I was wondering if the road noise level has diminished a little bit afterwards? Please let me know, Thanks!

Is that a filter on the Diverter Valve If so what’s the difference with the filter and without ? Also what size is it?

dont say mexico, its a red flag for the police AI that patrols the internet... just dont say anything about your whereabouts, or your speed. loved the road driving at the end, THAT is what this car is about, CURVES. it is not a straightline speed machine, get an m3 or m4 for that... but for having fun on the road, SAFELY, you can not beat the RS3... except for the GT3RS and the C8 z06

dump that spoiler, it is pure drag with no appreciable downforce... and it looks like something a teenager would think is lit :)

hows that UNI beta?

Didn’t know Audi switched to 6 piston calipers, are the they any smaller?

Great informational video sir!

How do you prevent the intake tube from tapping the brake master cylinder? Seems there is so much play in the filter box on its grommets that leads to this. I used a piece of foam under the box to prop it up slightly.

Have you measured 100-200kph with stock and unitronic intercoolers?

Is improved intercooler improves fuel economy?)

Fbo usuallyeans all available bolt ons for the car. So includes downpipe, and for the 8y charge piping, etc... would be curious how those turn out as well.

super video Brian, I'm planning to upgrade my 8Y RS3 intercooler with the one from forgemotorsport one as I don't think the Unitronic one is available in the uk, keep up the excellent content

Hang on Brian, when did you go stage 1? Last time you had it on a dyno with some e85 to bump things up you were on stock software. Have I missed something here….

Keep grinding brotha!

Those paddles man 👀🙈😅

Something is very wrong with your quickjack, it definitely shouldn't be giving that much trouble. I've had a set for years and they always lift right away without any issues.

Do you save much weight removing the rear seats?

How do you have this ? Are you a lucky ass beta tester?

What exhaust are you running man?

I like using the fuel lines from the Fuel-it kit, instead of cutting the stock line. I cut mine, and it lasted about a year before the inner layers of rubber started to delaminate and leaked fuel. You can buy just the fuel lines from Fuel it for cheap

Bro, thank you for uploading this video. It helped us alot

I am coming back to Audi after having many Subarus. This is my first RS3 so a few questions please. Are those 21mm bolts one time use for the front caliper and any torque specs? Lastly, does each side have a wear sensor? Just prepping myself for how many deletes will be needed. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. However, I’m a bit confused here. What’s the point of the calculator tool at the end of the video if the kit should already be able to do all of the calculations for you?

Can you please add the link where you buying

How far are we from getting a tune from Unitronic

My 8v with no ethanol did 11.7. With e20 it went 11.4. No mods but added Ethanol

I run best 7.36 @95 with back seat rests out with 90km remaining in the tank at a street road event@Castertondrags 2023 was my best. At Portland South Coast raceway i run 7.40 is my best so far. 4 weeks and season starts gain ,we are hoping e20 will help a 7.29 😅😊

(Google translate) Why would you sell a perfect RS3 8V2 for the 8Y, which is uglier plus inferior in almost every way? It's like the Golf 7 compared to the Golf 8, the generation before was the pinnacle. And it's the same with the Audi RS3. From the outside, the thing looks like it's been hammered into shape and the front is a disaster, as if the radiator grille had degenerated like a birthmark mutating into skin cancer, spreading all over the front. The headlights, a sporty jagged edge on the 8V2, now a fallen L or - as some call it - bags under the eyes, depending on how you look at it. Then the exaggeratedly wide cheeks at the back - why do they need that on a vehicle that's primarily a front-wheel drive? I would understand it in a BMW M3 with X-Drive or a Porsche 911 4S etc. The interior is a ridiculous joke with lots of creaky plastic and a scratch-prone fake piano lacquer finish. B-pillars uncovered on the sides. The design of the digital speedometer display is a clear step backwards. The only advantage would be the so-called torque splitter for the few people who want to know it on the race track. In addition, the 8Y is always slower than the 8Y with the same tuning power level. Only in the stock state Audi gave the 8Y a little more torque for better stock launch. But as soon as you do Stage 1, 2, 3 etc. it is irrelevant and the 8Y is more effective. In any case, I am so happy to keep my 2018 DAZA and thus drive the top of the RS3 models. Next year, a 2022 R8 V10 will be converted to biturbo with 1250 hp by HGP in Germany and then my girlfriend will drive my 640 hp sedan. But 8Y? No thanks. I had hoped for an improvement in the design, especially of the headlights, with the current model update, but unfortunately that didn't happen. The "fallen L" headlights are still there, as is the mutated grille that spreads across the entire front... But probably you had to get the 8Y due to leasing background etc who knows... 🤷🤔

Thanks Brian. Going to Try to tackle this myself soon. What did you use for the ceramic coating ?

you know saying "mexico" is a red flag to the HP. Just gonna get you a nock on the door, if its a slow day.

Look at the slope my guy

IS2000s on my '19. On that car, the dust is WAY worse but the pads are leagues better than stock! Those were dangerous on a modded car. These pads are so damn good!

Sitting in staging and everything getting hot definitely doesn’t do it any favors. That has always been my issue at the track.

When you did the 11.92 @ 116.29, was that still with a little E85 in the tank?
