![Best 1.8T 20V Tuning Mods [Seat, Audi, VW, Skoda Tuning Guide] 1.8T Engine Performance Upgrades](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NBPuntSBBw8/mqdefault.jpg)
Intake upgrade defo not the most important but I think it's generally the first mod people do because of how easy to do. As soon as it gets more technical, like down pipe & tuning, most people go to a shop and cost go up pretty quick.
this is sick. I just got an a3 sline quattro and I’m looking to not just mod but keep the performance as well and I like that you kept that component as I daily it. Appreciate it. Thank you.
bilstein B6 struts shocks with 1 inch neuspeed lowering springs made a good combo. Yeah, it could be lower, but it's a daily driver, so you dont want it very low. In my opinion, cheapest & most effective initial suspension upgrade. Quality components, better than stock handling, & still a very nice comfy ride for not too much money.
super helpful video thanks!
I only changed to an aftermarket intake because the stock engine cover/intake cracked up & was always a pain in the ass to install/remove. But it functioned very well, & I think it was better at "cold air" intake than these aftermarket "upgrades".
solid advise.thanks
6:27. Passed emissions. Stock tune with arm downpipe. Grab a o2 sensor spacer (preferably the 90 degree variant) for ten bucks.lets you use a racing cat down pipe with stock tune
Hey, I'm definitely considering a 06 Audi A3 or some other vws with this motor (all manuals) for the early motors from around 06-08 how reliable are they? I can do a downpipe and tune but I don't want to lose too much reliability. I've had friends have bad experiences with these motors, but they had severely neglected examples.
My Mk5 GLI has this motor also. I think it was only 1 year but I have it.
Good tips, ill try to follow this route on my 09 Base 8P, probably start with the DV+ then suspension for future proofing the car, one thing i noticed when i got my 8p, it has a custom exhaust but the air intake box is straight up gone, well the main multi peice box at the front of the engine bay. Is it bad to drive the car with it missing?
I always like watching these for the upgrades the 2.0 can do. Just I don’t want my atlas lower taller would be cool.
Genuine question here, I’ve only changed my intercooler and air intake, Eibach lowering springs and some spacers.
due to add adownpipe with a remap stage 2 but what would you say is worth changing that’s most important in the engine components? ATM I have camshaft or sensor code showing and the car on idle route how slightly gasps but doesn’t cut out just slightly loses idle power ? Why is this? Also how important is coil packs upgrade from plugs ?
Name me 3 items I need to change/add next in order please I wanna build a beast.
when you do the DV+ do you recommend doing the newer style diverter valve too?
There a few different revisions, you will need the newest one that DOESNT have the cage around it, as the cage prevents the DV+ from fitting as I believe the cage can’t be removed
Don’t waist your money on one fam
I found a 90 degree bend o2 spacer facing towards from engine removes EML on catless downpipe. I tried to fit my gfb dv and couldn’t get the top Allen key bolt off after 2 hours work and gave up 🤣
I feel you, the older this car gets, the harder it is to take stuff apart, just gotta make sure you lube up the bolts before you un-do them, the DV bolts shouldn't be that tight tho
you simply need a longer allen key.
long fingers actually help with this mod, which isn’t the norm.
Solid info man! Completely agree! I never heard the divertor valve but now I'm definitely gonna do more research and definitely get one installed. What brand do you recommend? I too have an a3 quattro. Another big recommend I'd throw out would be and upgraded intercooler. What brand do you recommend for the dsg tune as well it's tricky for me being in Germany and not knowing much German so I have to order parts/tunes
GFB makes the DV+, I have a CTS intercooler but there are tons of good options for Intercoolers, I am also tuned by Malone for my DSG and ECU!
@@ThatGuyTyy sweet thanks ty!
Where do u buy your performance part in Canada bro? Can you give me a good site or a good store ?
Thank-you
A lot of the stuff I have purchased for my car has been locally off of people that already have purchased parts. CTS is local to me here in Vancouver, so I get their stuff locally from them. A good parts website to use for canada wide stuff is WCT performance, however their prices are a little bit high. Other than that, I mainly ship stuff to my PO box in the states and then go and pick it up.
Thanks bro
I've got a 1.8 sport back tfsi quattro and I can't seem to find any videos for inspo on them at all haha so annoying I was planning on getting a45 or m135i wich I know alot about but not so much audi a3s with this engine platform haha any help would be appreciated haha thanks if you made it this far 😊
What year is yours with the 1.8?
muffler delete is always the go to first mod
But of course, gotta hear it scream! 🤣
no air intake? no performance coils? id probably be agreeing with the diverter but in conjunction with cold air and better spark, its a no brainer and reasonably cheap and can be done by anyone
Air intake gives zero performance gain other than cool noises, factory air boxes arguably have better air temps. Performance coils? Do you mean suspension or do you mean coil packs. Coils packs are definitely needed once going stage 2, complete stock, no. Coil overs definitely aren’t a top 3 either as you can achieve great handling with springs/ sway bar for how these cars are set up.
@@ThatGuyTyy ignition coils
Ignition coils aren’t needed till you reach stage, the factory coil packs are proven to provide enough power until a significant increase in spark delivery is needed, I have personally popped a coil before, but that was only after being stage 2+ for more than 4 months..
1stly there is no evidence to prove that R8 coilpacks give a better spark than stock, I have k04 064 with forge actuator and no probs with spark. 2ndly the intake/cold air induction makes a day and night difference. Go get a infrared thermometer or log intake and engine tepms without the cold air intake and with it on. You will see a massive drop in temperature. Cooler engine =healthier engine and cooler engine = reliable power increases! Oh and btw look at the factory intake, sits on top of the tapped cover and also serves as an engine cover trapping all the heat on and around the engine.
Where’s the pcv ecs video???
Delayed, parts are ordered, but they haven't even shipped yet and im assuming its gonna be fun watching them try to come across the boarder haha
@@ThatGuyTyy yeah man, I was running the setup as you on my Q3. Cts intake and pcv delete with the catch can. Put the stock one back on and just ordered the 034 Motorsports one. Better filtration. Was emptying mine every few days. Insane
@@vagdude6397 Yeah its insane the lack of RnD that goes into some stuff, keep me posted on how that one goes! would love to hear if its the better buy!
Biggest problem with modding a car is you can’t pass smog, how do y’all do it!!?
Step 1: live in Canada
Live somewhere without smog lol. But when I lived in California we just had to swap back to stock for smog
Lol don’t waste money on a dv.
That is definitely not top 3 mods you need or should do 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Says the guy out here modding a Hyundai Elantra 😂 glad to see you’re well versed in the VAG community
@@ThatGuyTyy it doesn't matter what car you mod aslong as you do it right with mechanical first not suspension lol, a car ain't going to leave u on the road or give problems with the things you said. There are alot more important things to do first. Like better spark plugs, coils, oil catch cans etc.
@@S2XCREW oh my 🤦🏼
@@S2XCREW oil catch cans on a near stock road car yeah good one champ 🖕🏻
@@leewoolley1622 oul catch cans have nothing to do with stock or none lol 😆 Oil Catch Cans are to help keep it clean and no nasty oil to go back too he engine lol
