Stage 2 E85 here. Full boltons, stock turbo. Using DS1.
Stage 2 using 93AKI/98RON is fast enough. I'm running a flex sensor with DS1, and on E85 its just insane and a 10.5 sec car. (2020 RS3 hatch).

Not worth it unless you really want the sound tbh. I went stage 2 and I LOVE the sound but bang for buck, stage 1+ is the best easily

[@canadianrs3128]

I recently went drag racing with a friend that has a 2019 RS3 unitronic stage 2, 93 octane plus full bolt ons. I have a 2018 RS3 stage 1+ 93 octane with an intake and intercooler. His best time was 11.15@122 and mine was 11.34 @120. There's really not much difference on pump gas. He also broke his DS installing the Uni DP. There are some intangible benefits like sound and faster spool, but for power gains the value proposition is not great.

Great points! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@spartanpi3097]

Any thoughts on the APR tune from the A3 build vs the RS3 Unitronic Tune?

[@savagepandaprojects]

great question... I will say the A3 FBO with APR felt more responsive especially from a dig. The RS3 has far more power overall but it does feel more gradual.

[@cobraspottedwolf8791]

I agree. I have a 2010 S4 stage 1 IE. 91 octane. Just doesn't make sense to spend $3500ish for 50 HP

[@savagepandaprojects]

Yes sir! Very steep investment

[@mitchellpiersante445]

Would you still choose this over your S6? This is literally my dilemma and want to know what would be a better daily driver compared to this or stage 3 S6. They both seem equally as fast and similar 0-60 and 1/4 times.

[@savagepandaprojects]

Great question. I would say S6 for sure makes a better daily driver. Much roomier, better comfort etc. Love that V8TT. Overall powerband is just amazing. RS3 has a much more exotic flavor. Handling its far better than the S6 but as a daily I prefer S6. 😌

[@tangentdark]

Nice mayo!

[@savagepandaprojects]

Thanks dude! I need to spend more time playing it when I'm not doing car stuff!

[@BrandonVallas]

How do you like the RS3 compared to the 340i ??

[@savagepandaprojects]

Both amazing cars, planning on doing a comparison of the B58 vs DAZA platforms soon

[@Cr1spo4]

Stage 1+ is best overall for daily use bang for your buck

[@savagepandaprojects]

For sure!

[@Anthony-sy9dt]

Whew, $4k for 50HP? Sounds like NA Infiniti Cost:Gain.

[@savagepandaprojects]

🤑🤑🤑😭😭😭

[@caphussle4747]

So building the stage 3 s6 was a better option

[@savagepandaprojects]

The 4.0T is hard to beat for easy big power!

[@TheJohnmuzquiz]

4k$? Jeepers

[@savagepandaprojects]

gotta pay to play! lol
