SHOULD YOU TUNE YOUR AUDI S3 8P!? *REMAP GUIDE* 

Cheers Smithy, super helpful.

All good info, Niki at R-Tech was able to squeeze 390BHP and 423lbft out of my S3 8P. Its safe to say I was happy as Larry🤣. So yes these cars have so much potential

Very good information, chilled out video. Agree decent brand tyres are a must. Spending thousands on tuning and putting cheap tyres. Your only point of contact between the car and the road.. pointless

I have identical s3 to yourself stage 2+ by rtech absolutely mint best car I've owned and tbh I didn't know about the launch control till I watched your video nice one for that👍

Very informative mate thank you, I will be going stage 2+ on my manual, but the car stock is fast Enough for me personally, but there has been a few occasions where I just wanted that extra power. But I’ll see how stage 1 feels first👍

Picking a good tuner defo important. Travelled a little to get mine tune my AMD Tuning, picked them because approachable and they actually race an Audi S3 8V so know the platform well.

I like the 8p, but you might aswell save a bit more and buy an 8v or golf r, which are faster anyway and responds better to tuning..

Smithy curious how often do u service haldex filter & oil this video very useful

In the UK and EU you guys make more power in general because if your temperatures. In South Africa if we want to make the same power we have to run meth for cooling not fueling to be able to run our cars like you do

Stage 2+ with dsg here and love it, bought the car already tuned, apparently it has different injectors in it? Is that common? And all the other normal mods, exhaust, intake fuel pump etc

Does car give a fault code and a fault light if the charger is broken? i just did brisk accelerations so there was no sound from the turbo when you loose the throttle. It has been heard before .. S3 8p APR stage 2+, no fault codes and lights.. I dont know whats happening. :(

Would you recommend tuning a daily car? I don’t really need a track car results but slightly improved performance would be nice. Does the economy improve as well with the tune as well and how does it translate to reliability? Thanks

Hello ! Nice video Where did u get this engine cover ??

Also, does anyone know how the s3 8p compares to a dsg golf r? I would like a golf r but they are a bit expensive and I feel the s3 8p is just a more affordable option with real potential to tune. Anyone got any opinions?

I'm might be looking for a s3 8p. Does anyone know what the auto triponic gears are like on the s3's. It it a quick change? And is the auto box quicker than a manual one?

Did your car have carbon build up on the valves? Any other major issues yet?

I just bought a audi A3 Sportback 2.0 tfsi 147kw dsg. Just changed all filters and oil. The car i fast but id like a little bit faster! Should you recommend me to go to stage 1? And do i need to do the dsg tune also? and do you think the dsg is powerfull and Reliable enough ? Thanks!

Just a question for my s3 what’s the best or what fuel do you run in your s3 like is it v power etc?

Have the numbers of 0-100 and 1/4 mile ?

What oil you use on 2+? Does it burn oil? 🤨

If it's a daily driver as you put it and not taking it on the race track, why remap it in the first place? These cars are already quicker than most other hatchbacks on the road ?? 🤔
