I’m so hype to see this car being done so beautifully. I’m so close to this set up. I’m getting it lowered and intercooler installed next week!
Thank you! And that’s sick you’re gonna love it. Lowering it just changes the whole look in a great way.
Thanks for another one on your S3, nice to see how things are coming together for you just as planned. If you go Vortex XL hybrid I think you'll be really happy. Im loving my 2018 S3 so far after the first year of ownership- 25K miles in 12 months, 0 issues, and I run the car hard all the time. I still haven't gotten mine tuned, but will soon now that Im starting to realize how reliable and robust these Gen3 EA888 2.0Ts really are.
Thanks for the support! And yes I’d plan to go with the vortex for sure. But that’s awesome, once you tune it you’ll fall in love with the car even more. And yes these engines are built very well! They perfected the 2.0
I just got my 2024 S3, will tune mine after a year. Will follow what you did 😊
That's awesome you're gonna love it. And even more so when you start modding it
Yeah man. looks and sounds great! About to go Vortex XL, MPI and lpfp in my Golf R. can't wait to see your progress on this.
Thanks man! And that’s the same setup I’m gonna run on this. Best of luck man! But yes we’ll be making a video of this whole series once everything comes in
I just recently bought a 2016 Audi s3 and I love it, I have the lowering springs and cold air intake so far can’t wait to tune
Nice goodluck with the new car! But yea once you tune it, the car is a completely different animal!
Great video and awesome car . Glad I found your channel.
Thank you for stopping by we appreciate that!
keep the content rolling boys!
Oh no doubt!
Ace video man rippin on it
Love the sound racey as I already got the ecs res delete and been lookin at the same d/p as you got so the sound will be pretty much the same thanks dudes
Thank you! And yeah I think it’s the best setup honestly. We have a bunch of videos with this setup if you want to check them out just to confirm it’s the route you wanted to go
great video, big thanks for mod list
Thanks! Glad we could help ya out
Beautiful car! I like all the mods.
Thanks!
The c5 Long tube header video brought me here,
The rims on this S3 😮. Blue with Gold/Bronze rims just looks good on any Blue car.
Compliments to the '05 Subaru (if you a "real" car guy you know what I'm referring too;😂)
Aye that's awesome! But thank you! Totally agree the blue and gold is just such a great look!!
Fire 🔥
im not one for pops and noise but going for a stage 1 tune soon on my S3 thanks for sharingl
Its all personal preference but that's great! Anytime
Like you’re videos bro, you’re good for RUclips 😃
Thanks! 🙌🏽
What a beauty
Thank you!
Is having a little white smoke at the start after the car is cooled normal ? Is that the engine oil separator
I own the same car out here in California. I have made most of the same mods...different manufacturers (leaving out wheels). Did you perform a dyno before and after? Keep it up!
Hell yeah! And nah unfortunately I didn’t dyno before and after I’m just going off of what eqt dyno sheets provide. I do want to dyno it tho
Is 55k miles on a stock s3 a lot 2018 , going to keep it stock. Dope vids !
No it’s not, aslong as it’s maintained properly and continued to be maintained it should run for a while! But thanks we appreciate it!
Nice!
Thank you!
@@RatchetWrenches I have a 2019 Nano grey A3. Of course it’s lacking performance but I don’t have another 10 grand to spend on an S3. Do you think an A3 is worth modding? Just for a little extra pep.
@@RichsRantMMAofficialchannel i love that color!! and yeah its up to you on what youre willing to spend but you can make an a3 just as fast as an s3 by swapping the turbo and fooling etc. But if you dont want to do that you can still tune the car and it'll wake it up big time!
@@RatchetWrenches ok thanks! I’ll probably do it bit by bit and take my time.
Can't wait for the chrome delete, will you consider blacked out badges as well?
In your opinion is there much of a difference between pre and post facelift? In Australia the pre facelift are a bit cheaper but I am considering a car with fewer years on it (2017 - 2018) just for longevity sake.
I’m not sure about blacking out the emblems or not I do like to have somewhat of a pop of another color but idk just yet! And for the facelift vs prefacelift it’s all the same mechanically. The only thing your getting with the facelift is different style front end. Some newer technology for like safety features etc, but overall they’re pretty much the same car mechanically speaking!
@@RatchetWrenches Isn't there a 7th gear? Wonder how, if at all, that changes the car. I have a 2015 and love it, but FL looks better (more aggressive and modern) IMO. Also, the Virtual cockpit would have been nice, but I chose to save my dollars as well.
Made the mistake of going APR Stage 1 tune right before they discontinued downpipe support. Now I have to figure out how I want to re-approach.
LOVE your videos by the way! Thanks for all the info!
Thanks for the rachet idea Rachet. I'll be making my own Excel sheet for my own car as i watch this video. i gotta be over $5000... i mean.. i gotta be...
No problem! And oh easily over $5000 with these cars!
Great video! I'm wondering how the longevity and engine and transmission are affected by going stage 2?
Thanks! And I'm not really sure but Austin's S3 has been very reliable after beating on the car a lot so that says something about it!
love the s3 , i just prefer the facelift models 2017+ , i just think the headlights look much better on newer ones
The newer headlights are definitely super sharp! All personal preference for sure
The Cobb access port is def worth it. No need to find a shop that will do it for you, and drive an hour or so to get there. And if you want to change the tune youre free to do it whenever you want.
Couldn’t agree more honestly!
Nice car! I personally think it still sounds raspy
Thanks! And yeah unfortunately these cars are very raspy when you start opening up the exhaust flow too much
Beautiful car!! One question, is your engine light on?
Thank you! And no check engine light
@@RatchetWrenches How's that? I thought DP with EQT its something you can't avoid nowadays..
@@Jonnymic89 I got the tune a while ago so I’m grandfathered in prior to the EPA crackdown. Now if you get a downpipe and the tune the CEL will be on unfortunately
@@RatchetWrenches thanks! thats my only concern going stage 2 atm :(
@@Jonnymic89 no problem and yeah it’s really unfortunate honestly. I’m hoping it can revert to how it was
So you're on stock exhaust with resonator delete and that's good enough for stage 2? (provided you have a high flow downpipe)
Yes that's perfectly fine for stage 2
Tryna be like you my boy
Hell yeah!
Where did you get the windshield banner
Had my dad make it for me. (He owns a sign company) so he was able to use some excess vinyl for me
so how do you get an inspection sticker now?
I was grandfathered in with EQT prior to the epa crackdown so my CEL doesn’t show even with inspections
dumb question, can you use a friends access port?
Unfortunately no the accessport is “married” to the ecu of the car
Quick one. Have have you got the rears so low. I've got mine maxed and doesn't sit this low..have you removed the collar or something. ?
Hmm that’s interesting, you have the same exact ones? Same spring drop amount etc? But I just have mine bottomed out, I haven’t removed the collar or anything
@@RatchetWrenches maybe they need to settle..? Did yours settle much ?
@@bird-dog81 true yeah I didn’t think of that. After maybe a few days of driving it settled out to sit like this.
Where in Jersey I got a b9 s4 north Jersey
Somerset County!
What brand mag ride deletes you recommend?
Here’s the exact ones I run and recommend click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=PiRFMjRO36s&mid=43304&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ecstuning.com%2Fb-kw-suspension-parts%2Fkw-electronic-damping-cancellation-kit%2F68510424%7Ekw%2F
@@RatchetWrenches whats those black circle lookong caps? Thats come in that kit?
@@QTTR0JET for the rear shocks they’re the dust cover for the top mount. Even though the oem ones are there they give you these ones as a backup. I just disregarded them in all honesty
@@RatchetWrenches thanks bro i appreciate it. Will order for sure.
@@QTTR0JET no problem man!
What wheels are thay
Rohana!
damn my coilovers were twice as much lol
I’m gonna say by your name you have an rs3 hahah doesn’t surprise me lol you got that RS3 tax 🤣
Basically a stock audi with some piping and a tune...
It's far from being stock...
Whats up with the shitty chrome badge and window trim?
The “shitty” trim is oem. I’m not dropping 2k for the “black optics” package. I’ll have it wrapped. But for the front emblem the black will get lost so it’s nice it have an offset.
@@RatchetWrenches why would you not do it yourself? it takes about an hour and costs like 50 bucks tops including black rings and they won't get lost but if you are worried about that ive seen some people rocking carbon fibre rings aswell...
@@RatchetWrenches at the end of the day it's al personal taste but black badges and no chrome trim just makes it look way angrier. all the chrome makes it look a bit grandpa spec ish to me
@@RatchetWrenchesI agree, it looks totally fine. No need to spend the $ for the change 👍🏻
