Question. It appears that your tach redlines at 7k, which is what IE's ECU tune says it's supposed to be at, correct? "Factory rev limits have been raised to 7000RPM in all stages." I'm running stage 1 ECU and their TCU tune for the DSG and my revlimiter stayed at the stock 6,700 RPM. I'm just wondering if mine was also supposed to change to 7k RPM, and if not, maybe I need to re-flash it or contact them and see what's up if that's the case. Thanks!
yeah mines 7k now, I’d reach out to IE - from my experience they’re support is pretty responsive during the week, but I have a feeling they’ll ask you reflash how are you liking stage 1?
@@JayChesterman I’ll do that. I saw on some older forums that they said it should change, but they’re all different so maybe it just didn’t change for my TCU. Appreciate it!
i just took a look over a log i have and my max RPM is 6939.75 i do notice during spirited driving the car will shift before then though even if i rev it out, but i think at full throttle it'll rev out to that 6939.75
@@JayChestermanI tested mine on the way to work today and it shifts around 6,500RPM even floored. I did get it to rev out through the 6,700RPM redline to about 6,900RPM, but only in manual mode.
I made the jump from a 7.5r to an RS3(in mythos black and with grey wheels lol) and its definitely worth the extra money. Granted I was going to be doing a turbo/fueling uprgade on the R, bbk and subframe stuff so it just made sense to upgrade. That being said, I am now looking to get even more out of the RS3 so I may build the engine and go FF or a g80 might be in my future lol Also, make sure you have the fake engine sounds turned off
damn, downpipes and a tune isn't enough for you with the rs3?? you're a speed demon brother lol that's the same spec i'd want (mythos black grey wheels, as you can probably tell from the video) when i bought my previous car (2019 ss 1le camaro), i had a tuned toyota 86 and was looking at going down the supercharger route, and after pricing it out it made more sense to just buy a faster car haha so i understand the logic
@@JayChesterman You always get used to the speed and want a little more. Sometimes you have to just tell yourself enough is enough. It’s always a better value to just buy the faster car, but sometimes the journey of really modifying a car is more fun
no issues at all besides a slow coolant leak that I caused by not tightening a clamp enough when I installed the intake, water pump hasn’t broke yet (fingers crossed haha)
if you live in a hot place you should do an intercooler, I’ve only ever noticed some power loss maybe once on a really hot day after doing some pulls but we have so many months of cool and cold weather here where I live
i haven't hit the strip yet, i'm planning to do so this summer and will def make a video similar setups are running high 11s / low 12s for the 1/4 mile though, it'll be interesting to see where i'm at!
Awesome set up bro. I have a '18 S3 too in Canada. Would be interested to know the price of all your mods going from stock to stage 1 and then stage 1 to stage 2. Cheers!
thank you Paul! I got the plate holder from eosplates.com - i had to fiddle with the positioning for a while but there's no sensor issues now, it was definitely finicky though and took some playing around to find the sweet spot haha
I’m thinking about getting an s3 (facelift) sometime in august/September, any tips on what I should look for? And how do you feel about getting a higher km s3 70-110kms
you should be good, i personally would try to find under 100k km but make sure you're able to get the maintenance history for the car, maintenance is really important on these cars (making sure oil, dsg services etc are all done on time) another thing to look out for would be to see if the water pump has been done or not, if it's not been replaced and it's a higher km car there's a better chance you'll run into the issue
@@JayChesterman yup I have a Jetta myself and I did the water pump, dsg service all that good stuff. Just want a fun car tbh I have a tdi right now which is great on gas but I’m young I’m trying to have some good fun with a faster car haha. I appreciate you replying my man I’ll let you know when I end up getting it
thank you! my goal has always been to keep it simple and i'm really happy with where it's at now, but i'm considering doing a front splitter - just not sure which one yet
@@JayChesterman looking forward to seeing that aswel, thanks for the inspo on the build. About to pull the trigger on a 2019 white one. Have bad roads here in South Africa so the wheel strategy is looking like the way to go. Blessings your way ✌️
I love the look of them, but I’ve heard of a lot of people who have had theirs break over the winter here (we get a decent amount of show) and I’m too lazy to pull it off every season haha I was looking at the flow designs one, it has a really secure mounting system

I have an 2020 s3 and I don’t have the digital dash why is that ?
@@Ralphgotit it was an upgrade option
Sorry if this was already asked but where did you get the white Audi air freshener from? I have a white s3 so it would be perfect haha

have u had any problems with it other then the annoying waterpump?
no issues at all besides a slow coolant leak that I caused by not tightening a clamp enough when I installed the intake, water pump hasn’t broke yet (fingers crossed haha)
Car looks so good and sounds amazing! Looking forward to mod my S3 and make some noise 😂 Stage 2 wont require bigger intercooler?

Hello do you know the turbo pressure? Thanks best regards
i just pulled up a log i did last season on my current tune and based off of my calculations it looks to be around 29-30 PSI peak boost.
Nice build 😌

yeah I’d def recommend going with 18 inch wheels and a meaty tire, you’re going to love the car!

I mean it looks quick...kind of like a toyota corolla GR... still not sold on it. I'd rather a c63 w204.
c63 w204 is a beast! a clean used s3 can be had and modded to run high 11 / low 12's in the quarter mile for half the price though haha
Two totally different class of cars,
@@_NB233 yep, I don’t imagine there’s much cross shopping between the two haha
