These videos are great, you guys deserve more subscribers!
Thank you! We greatly appreciate that 👍🏽
Thanks EQT!
Hell yeah , I'm running the same tunes, I'm getting 3.7 seconds 0 to 60 with my draggy... just flashed the new DSG tune update!, Haven't timed it yet with the update but feels really good...You should definitely get the update!
Oh shit Goodlooks I’m gonna have to check that out, do we have to pay for the update or is it free?
@@RatchetWrenches $25 usd for the update , definitely worth it
Goodlooks I’m gonna have to do that!
4 second 0-60 is super car specs from like 20-30 years ago crazy how times changed lol
Ik right! Time are changing so fast haha
yup, to be precise, the 1994 Lambo Diablo had a 4.6 sec 0-60, same as the Stock S3. Crazy!! But yeah, I can say for sure , I have a stock 2018 S3 and its F--ing fast as F--K. Stage 2 is just insane lol
this is wicked
It is for sure !
I'm looking at going EQT Stage 2 on an Audi A3! EQT has great software!
You’re going to love it!
Terrorizing the mean streets of Hillsborough I see lol. Right down the road from me.
Hahaha you know it!
Your 0-60 numbers are interesting. My stock 8.5V does 0-60 in 4.4 in ideal conditions, stage 2 most people are hitting 4 flat, but I've heard of some hitting as low as 3.7.
Idk what tires you're running but ps4's should eliminate all wheelspin even launching stage 2.
Either way, awesome vids!
Yeah I’m definitely not hitting what I want/should be hitting. I’m running continentals but once I get new rims I’m going to be getting some better tires that’ll help hook when launching! We appreciate the comment!
In my EQT stage 2 Audi S3 my fastest time so far is 3.51 I am on 93 octane
@@S3_864 damn that's dope! since my last comment I went stage 1 EQT 93 octane and I hit 4.0. Def gotta get that downpipe installed and upgrade to stage 2.
How's reliability been for you?
I just ran a 4.004 with just a EQT stage 1 and an intake
I wanna see what a race would be like from a roll in my mk7 gti stage 2 eqt
That would be interesting yeah!
I think the stg 2 tunes slow down the 0-60 time vs stg 1, but you get more in the mid/high rpm range. i never clocked a 1/4 mile run on stg 1, but the car pulls much harder in 3rd/4th gear in stg 2. i'd bet the 1/4 times are faster.
Interesting I’ll check into that!
Darn I wish you had a clip of the awe exhaust on it I was to buy it. I don’t mind about rice trying to get numbers! If you have one can you send to me please :)) I’m thinking on actually doing a single exit with the awe
I have a video of how it sounds with the awe sounds with the downpipe ruclips.net/video/N4pmMsz7lcc/видео.html
Here’s the video of the awe by itself ruclips.net/video/ZXOLTdvBdmY/видео.html
EQT Tune is game changer! This S3 is FAST
Yessir 🙏
Did you go ots or custom tune?
Can’t remember if you mentioned or not
Stage 2 is an OTS map, fyi.
So you know longer have the AWE switch path exhaust?
Not in this video no, I took it off
@@RatchetWrenches your opinion, my current set up AWE switch path. Resonator delete and catback on that.
I’ve got a 2018 S3 and I’m stage 2 with integrated engineering I run a 3.84 0-60. I’m switching to EQT next week i hear it is 3.6-3.7
Damn that’s awesome! And yeah I’m sure you can easily hit those numbers! I hope I can hit a faster time
@@RatchetWrenches get a draggy i wouldn’t trust the cobb AP I’m sure you can break into the 3’s!
@@samstraus1511 actually a buddy of mine has that, I’m definitely gonna hook that up! I agree tho I think I can push more out of it
Awsome , stage 2 next year after warranty is up. Bet you can beat the mustang and vet if you use launch control
I just got the eqt stage 2 93 tune for my 2018 s3 I can confirm it’s nuts my 0-60 was 3.5 and I’m not even on good tires at the moment
EQT vs APR? What are the differences
Personal preference really. I’ve ran apr in the past on my previous car and I then heard great things about eqt so I gave them a shot. People speak so highly on eqt including myself! Also seems to have better software/power on the eqt compared to apr
So would you say EQT’s stage 2 tune yields more power than APR’s? I’m running APR stage 1 hi torque 93 engine and DSG. According to their website it just doesn’t make financial sense in terms of the amount of money I’d have to spend on bolt ons to run stage 2 and the very little power difference I’d get back.
I can’t say if it has more power or not, but I ran APR on my mk5 and I have noticed APR doesn’t really push the limits on their tunes I feel like they are almost more conservative which makes sense, but EQT definitely pushes the car a lot more with their tunes (safely). So it’s possible EQT can provide more power for sure!
@@RatchetWrenches cool. As a fellow S3 owner, do you feel when mashing on the gas from a dead stop (even with TC off) if there is a hesitation? It drives me crazy. It only seems to remedy itself somewhat by shutting off TC AND putting the car in manual mode.
@@michaeliovani4487 I went from APR stage 1 high torque, ran 12.4s on high humidity and stock intercooler, switched to EQT stage 2 E30 with DSG tune and only a downpipe and ran a 11.86 on the track and 11.72 on dragy. the stock intercooler was holding me back, but there is definitely a difference, as for stage 2 93 I ran 12.1s on dragy with high temperatures and did 11.8s with temperatures in the low 50s.
Nice video bro. But humbly speaking I don’t think you would beat a stock rs3 still. Definitely would be close. That would be cool if you could set up a race with a rs3 and prove me wrong. Sick car btw😎
If he’s pushing 390 at the wheels and a stock RS3 is pushing that at the crank, combined with the extra weight of the RS3 from the larger engine it’s definitely plausible.
Thank you! And I feel like it could be a close race especially like the guy stated below they’re pushing that to the crank. A buddy of mine has a brand new RS3 and maybe I’ll try and set that race up!
@@RatchetWrenches would love to see it
I can attest, stock rs3 cannot hang with my eqt stage 2 s3. Took him down by 2 cars both races. Also hit 3.7 0-60 on draggy
I'd like to see some 1/4 numbers
We can make that happen!
tfsi is life...
Yerr
Stock catback and res delete?
Yeah I ran an awe SwitchPath with the downpipe and it sounded horrible so I put the stock catback on and deleted the factory resonator
@@RatchetWrenches yeah i saw your vid earlier..was way too raspy with the Awe
Presently i have a cts catless dp with the stock catback( res delete) and i was going to buy a catback but i think that i'm gonna save my cash now😅
@@sebdufour gotcha yeah that sound was horrendous hahah. But yeah I don’t blame you save it and use it elsewhere. Unfortunately any dp with a catback sounds horrible it’s a shame because I want some sound to it 😬
How much is it to go stage 2???
Honestly I’m not sure since we’re sponsored by them our prices are different. But if you go to their website it’ll lay it all out for you
Hey man can we keep the stock resonator with Stage 2?
Yes you can! Only exhaust upgrade needed would be the downpipe
Do you still have the CEL even after the tune?
Boost dynamic is faster
The s3 is 4.7 seconds in standard set up I've had 4.5 on on a good day
Interesting good to know
E85 would be ideal if available in your area
Definitely and we have like 3 locations in nj that sent local unfortunately but I want to eventually go on it
You NEED an intercooler - you heat soak after 2 pulls without a downpipe
You don’t need an intercooler it’s highly suggested tho. All you need for the stage 2 is an intake and downpipe.
@@RatchetWrenches Do some datalogs although I'll admit I'm in sub tropical climates .. I bet it's better north of me but you have such a significant power drop it ends up being worth it .. without a tune you notice the Fmic off the rip it was surprising.. my last car didn't take to the Fmic as much save under WOT but on the S3 I see benefits across board .. really worthwhile but absolutely a pain to install as a heads up
I agree tho I’m sure it will change the cars performance big time I’m not denying that at all! Hahah nothing ever easy on these cars but which brand intercooler do you have?
@@RatchetWrenches I have a CTS front mount, it required a good amount of trimming of the cradle that the FMIC/Rad/Condensor sit within .. a GTI owner did a lot of flow and street testing on FMICs overall you're looking at Do88 (can get that from EQT), IE, Unitronic, CTS, APR, Mishi, AMS .. the big difference between them all is price and installation ease .. the best installation instructions I found were a mix of APR, ECS, and Unitronic, I needed to ref all 3 for little details .. absolutely 100% you're going to need to remove your A/C condensor so have it discharged by a pro first (it's not healthy to breath but won't hurt you, but the oil residue can become acidic and cause rust) so don't try to just swivel it out of the way like some DIYs say, it's SOOOOO much easier to fully remove - I wasted an hour or two trying to swivel it before giving up and discharging.
@@RatchetWrenches also snag yourself some RS3 coils and plugs on top of an FMIC - both will help with knock and you'll see more power, and then you'll be setup so if you wanted even more it's just MPI and/or bigger turbo.
:59 to 1:1 makes the video worth watching it !! Big Cohones
Thank you 😂 gotta throw some humor in there
So you’re 500 to the crank? On stage 2??? Wow. Stock is like 292. Almost 200hp increase with just DP and tune
I actually made a mistake it’s 398-400 to the crank and 330ish to the wheels. But yea with a dp and a tune you gain 135hp
@@RatchetWrenches okay, thanks. Was getting ready to ditch my setup and convert to EQT:)
kinda bugs me the quattro stickers on a non quattro drive they actually use the Haldex-based all-wheel. the RS3 actually has the quattro.
It’s still classified as the Quattro. Just like you said uses the haldex. The rs3 still uses a haldex just a little more sophisticated
Lol my e63 was this fast stock 😭😭😭 paid 18k
Apr or bust
Nah I’m over them honestly but I won’t knock em! They make great tunes
@@RatchetWrenches I got their cold air and it’s completely crap lol
Hahaha 🤣 that’s so disappointing and you probably paid a good amount for it too
@@RatchetWrenches $485 blah lol.
