lol, I like how you listed all the stuff like catch can and intake and then mention you got k04 at the very end) main ingredient to get 400+ out of 2.0T)
I’m glad you’re posting again I just recently picked up an Audi A5 B8 2.0t I love it. My plans are to eventually make it B8.5 because I love the look so much. So I’ve started making it a little bit more bullet proof by getting GFB diverter valve and catch can etc. My next move will be intercooler, turbo kit and tune, suspension and exhaust. I started following you about a month ago when I started doing my research on upgrades. That wide body look is on point and this I must say is the best I’ve seen yet! I followed you on instagram too. Keep those videos coming brotha!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
thanks brother it truly means a lot, especially in these difficult times. My car is actually a b8, i bought a hood and front bumper and lights, it converted it . youre going to have so much fun with your car. Im here for any questions, god bless you brother.
I believe I am somewhere at 390-400 HP on my 2017 Audi S3 without having done a carbon cleanup. I have a ram air intake from USP + turbo inlet upgrade. I tried to copy Eventuri's design in the air filter. The air intake has definitely made a HUGE Difference in power. Also got RS7 Spark Plugs THESE ARE NOT GAPPED. I kept their original gapping to allow for more power but, potential less reliability in the forms of misfires. The higher the gap (usually) = more power. No problems so far and as a matter of fact I have 0 misfires now. Also got the APR Coil Packs. I also have the dogbone insert mount which has believe it or not increased my 0-60 time due to the car remaining planted to the ground. Michelin PS4S tires. Unitronic Stage 1+ ECU + TCU Tune. Using Liquimoly for all my fluids and have seen some noticeable results. Haldex pump has a new filter as well to fix previous traction issues. At this moment I am contemplating Stage 2, an intercooler, and additional Subframe Mounts. What are your temps right now that you can see in the dash? Not through data logging. I usually see 210 nominal operating temp and when I get on it it makes at 230. However, on average when I drive somewhat hard it will be at 224 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, I'll turn the car off and my radiator fan kicks up due to the car being very hot. I am thinking it might be coolant related but, my water pump is not leaking. Or maybe I need an intercooler. You should look into a carbon cleaning as well. I am meaning to do that next.
Main amazing right up, loving your build I might have to try the Audi r7 plugs, and agreed I just did a video on spark plugs. I have mine gapped at 28, the suggested from apr .24 made me loose torque, and power. My intake temp with my Wagner racing inter cooler on a hot, is around 190, and when I push it around 212, but then there’s the met I have it post inter cooler so my mad doesn’t read the data, but it basically cools my intake about 40%, it’s like your first drive when your engine is cold, or if the temp is around 60%. Meth is what gave me the big jump up to , 450, before I was around 400 like you, I also ad heat to every gallon of boost juice, which helps with the cooling, and octane, I’m also running Apr 100 octane racing file. What’s your insta would love to follow your build Also I had that fan issue before my inter cooler upgrade, and my temps where close to yours
@@brucecustommotors Good to know. I will see what temps look like during stage 2 but, an upgraded intercooler would maybe make more sense at that point. I was thinking about meth as well. I did not want to install a tank in the trunk though, and I was thinking about pulling it from my windshield wiper fluid reservoir. I do not plan on using it 100% of the time. I would like to run it maybe 5% of the time when racing other people. You suggest running a custom map for Meth or should I just use it for cooling purposes? I do not want to go E85 and it seems like meth is maybe the next best thing next to doing a full turbo upgrade (bigger turbo means I lose the low rpm torqueyness of the IS38), having the engine bored for higher displacement, and going fully stage 3. What's next on your list? I have a bunch of cosmetic stuff I want done soon as well aside from performance upgrades.
excuse me if I missed it, do you have an exhaust on your s3? if so, I would love to hear it . The s3 has the same engine as the Golf R that I want. It is tough to make that platform sound nice. Only heard a hand full of nice sounding ones.
Bruce, I can’t believe you haven’t lost the plastic intake manifold. I’m installing an aluminum IE to my 2012 B8, well having it installed, along with a Cts down pipe and high flow cat. Also having Cts intake, Ko4 turbo, stage 2 tune and CTS intercooler. After waiting since June, parts are finally in! After having Bilsteen coil overs this car should be able to scoot. Hopefully will at least keep up with the wife’s TTS!
@@brucecustommotors APR doesn't write a tune for any after market intake manifolds. I just dressed mine up and it looks great I was hoping you could give me the part number for the S3 injectors you installed. I have seen some coming out of china but am scared to get knock offs. Where did you get yours and were they original Bosch? Keep up the good work buddy!
I gotta say, I’ve NEVER commented on a CZcams video but love what you’re doing and how you put it out here. I have a 2014 A5 just about to hit 30,000 miles (prime platform 😁) So far have stage 2 from Integrated Engineering, 3” down pipe, Injen cold air, and diverter valve. Next will be intercooler (have to go easy, wife not happy 😃) it’s my daily so not going crazy yet but love to eventually get to where you’re at! By the way, another commenter, Ron P is my buddy who has me addicted to upgrading 😂. Keep up the great vids!
Mines ko3 stock map making 260hp boost controller set to 16 psi Catless down pipe-muffler delete Front mount Intercooler K&n intake Tein suspension (not sacked I just prefer the comfort and handling they provide at slightly lower than stock height) TT coilpacks TT225 injectors (stock pump) NGK standard spark plugs 4 bar fuel pressure regulator And 1v 16w zenor diode mod on the map sensor to allow the boost pressure. Single mass fly wheel conversion And a standard heavy clutch. Run like this for 2 years now, I don’t drive it lightly either. Most would say it’s silly to do old school mods on a 2002 Audi A4 Quattro, I say it’s practical and safe, as long as you do your math right and compensate for the issues caused (too rich or too lean) timing issues etc, all issues have solutions. My cars like a rubix cube very untraditional for a 2002 😂
M1 and Water for the win. I run 30% meth/70% water on my Mazdaspeed 3 with the stock turbo. Huge difference vs one without it at the drag strip. 13.5 quarter mile on a stock turbo and street tires. Anyhow, I just bought an o6 B7 A4 for $300 that put out white clouds of smoke inspector gadget would be proud of....So I threw in a new pcv and the smoke is now gone, but now have no boost because the Diverter valve is shot. After watching your video I am now torn on keeping it stock ko3 with meth injection, or just go big right away with the ko4 swap. GREAT INFO on your build..thank you.
RotorMan Dan if it’s in your budget I would go k04, I was torn between going k04 because forums would say it’s not worth it, or much of a difference From the k03. Man the k04 make me feel like I have a v8, also the b7 platform has already have a base of big turbo upgrades that can be cheaper than b8 and above, people mastered that year, my brother has a b7 1.8t pulling numbers close to mine. But I was in your same boat, I lost some boost, and a little white 💨, so when I looked my turbo waste gate had play in it, and I switched to a gfb dv valve. You can also find a k03 on eBay for about 2 to 300 bucks or less if you dig enough, but I’m really impressed with the numbers on the Mazda , I know you will go beast mode on the a4, 3 main causes , of no boost, is diverted, waste gate, or pcv. Keep me posted.
that car if your lucky has 350 hp if it's got a k04 but since you lied about dyno numbers who knows post you numbers if you dyno that car let's see the paper work cause there's no waybthat car had even close to what hp your saying lololololol
320hp 360tq on my 2018 A3. Intake, downpipe, exhaust and Stage 2 APR tune and TCU. IS38 turbo upgrade coming soon. Crazy how detuned most Audi cars are. Just my tune alone added 80hp and 80tq
man is38 is a beast, I can honestly say, its better than the ko4 based on , results. yeh I agree. I was surprised I just beat an 08 r8 4.2, we did 3 runs. got him every time. I'm starting to look into a big big turbo like a 50mm or 60mm, im working with this tune shop on fueling that can support it right now, just finished fabricating a manifold for it to be top mount. ill keep you posted might do a video on it once the turbo comes in, my goal is 700hp, I already have forged parts and a engine block, waiting
Bruce Custom Motors hope its not your day driver lol. I would love a 4.2 6 speed R8! Good kill! Bet he was salty haha. Thats why i love my A3, its a sleeper
@@aaronp9835 no got a couple of other cars, just been adding new gadgets, so have been driving it more. yeh im sure the r8 thought I was an rs5, he probably still has his pride lol
recently got my first car. audi a4 cabriolet from 2009. i am totally doing a tune once i get the cash. i got the car for under 4k and no problems so it should be fun
thanks really means a lot, you guys motivate me to make videos, I always use to go to forums to try and find answers , but the info was always outdated, you get sarcastic, response, and never get a clear awnser, so my goal was to make my channel, a new forum, which is why I reply to everyone, share my page with your buds and groups, to make this channel even bigger, thanks for the support and god bless brother
Bro I just added meth to my car, and it added 54 hp, I didn't think it was possible honestly Im running apr v3.1 like you and they told me they didn't have a map for it, I was pushing about 371, from my last Dynos, after my map and now I'm at like 430hp so I ran the 100 octane race file and boom, my car went to another level, thanks for the vids bro. I subscribed, but I went with stage 3 snow performance, is it any better
Yeh its all about the timing, and tune, you just have to know the right time to start your spray, and max out your spray, thru the highest boost. APR is a safe company, so they don't promote anything outside of a tune. for b8 and below platforms, we don't have the option of e85, because were not flex fuel, and our intake manifold. So methanol is our best option, but I prefer it because, you can get more of gain. Apr can put you at like 380 with e85, look at my link in the description. Heck I know people running meth, and e85. Overall meth gives you more timing, cooling, octane, and helps with predestination, so you can push your car harder, when I was with revo, I just advanced my timing with my sps controller, and apr 100ct race file ads more timing so I put 2 and 2 together, and stage 3 just gives you more visual features with your controller, but everything else is the same. Glad I could help, and thanks for subscribing
I've heard rumors of turbo oil leak from blocking off the intake manifold driver side pcv port. Maybe something to do with over loading the diverter valve lines since some pressure would normally be venting out off the valve cover driver side pcv port. Also the crankcase would be venting out of only 1 valve cover pcv port versus 2 ports, what it was originally designed. Replacing the cyclonic oil separator with one that is lacking a cyclonic system is not a good idea. I understand that the whole idea is to prolong carbon build up on the intake valves. I've researched all Audi A4 B8 FWD 2.0 catch can systems. I think all of the catch can designs (BFI, Billet, ECStuning, CTS, etc) for this particular vehicle all have flaws. The reason being it completely ignores either the driver side or the passenger side pcv vent system by simply blocking off a side. In addition of the block off, some system completely replaces/remove the cyclonic oil separator. If I was to do a catch can system for this vehicle, I would go with the ECStuning system that keeps the cyclonic oil separator. It covers the passenger side pcv port -TO- ECS catch can -TO- turbo inlet. Then I will install a custom catch can system mount on the driver side firewall that covers the driver side pcv port -TO- baffled catch can -TO- intake manifold. That would be an ideal system for me to prevent a problem down the road. Catch cans you'll have to keep empty them, even more often if your driving region have bumpy roads and hills. Either that or don't install one and remove your instake manifold ever 90k miles or so, manually turn the crank to close each cylinder's valves and clean them one by one. I would also inspect the intake valves using a borescope every now and then. Stupid direct injection system with constant computer regulating unnessary shit for daily driving for the sake of optimal fuel economy by a few miles and slightly lower emission in theory not taking into factor the driver's behavior. Like the eco start/stop system. You have to ask yourself with the high amount of high pressure fuel injectors being replaced due to direct injection system and the high amount of starters being replaced due to constant use from eco start/stop system. How much energy or resources does it take to manufacture those items and transport them to sell to consumers. Is is worth having a direct injection system and eco start/stop for daily use? Port system works just fine and gets pretty good gas mileage if its an inline 4 with more gears keeping the rpm low at cruising speeds.
if your seals are worn, you can have that problem, which is why I put a breather on mine, to your point to elevate crank case pressure. Thanks for the passion and info, god bless
I was wondering dude does this car consume much oil. People say these cars do the 2.0tfsi engines. And also my oil level sometimes says it’s full and not full ?
@@brucecustommotors hey again but is there another fix to it because my piston rings were just changed new from audi and head gasket ? if there is another fix that would be great ? it tells me its full and then i drive it says its not full and then meduim and yeah ??
Hey Bruce I am awaiting a set of s3 / golf R fuel injectors. I was wondering if you have upgraded your high pressure fuel pump when you installed these injectors? I am considering installing the JHM piston upgrade. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks again for all the great videos as they have really helped me out!
@@brucecustommotors Bruce, I'm pretty sure the piston and cylinder upgrade for the B8 2.0T platform is available. I'm gonna double check though. So I guess what I'm asking is that in your experience, you haven't felt the need for additional fueling volume or pressure with the up sized injectors? Believe me I am not looking to throw money down the drain as these HPFP upgrades go for 350.00 to 600.00. Interestingly I got a set of S3 / Golf R ("Bosch") injectors for just $239.00off Ebay. I just hope the hell they are genuine, the vendor swears they are. Thanks for the response buddy!
Love this video. As a new B9 A4 owner this is a great starting point. Already have an 034 Motorsport air intake but I’m afraid to do anything else mechanically due to dealer warranty. Gotta wait 3 years!
Andres Osorio yeh I feel ya, B9 is a great platform, and it comes with more power to start, its my engine with all the errors fixed, if you ever get tempted, revo , apr, and ie, have map switching mode, we’re you can put it in stock, when my car was under warranty when I had stage 1 , I would put it in stock mode, and install my factory air intake, before service, when I went stage 2 down pipe inter cooler, and stuff. I didn’t even waist my time going😂🤣 here one of my videos on stock mode czcams.com/video/GSj76OCyWlM/video.html
my 2.0 at Stage 1 beats my boys M3 lol Doesn’t help that I’m out of tune. My B7 has a lot of stage 2 upgrades except for a turbo. Saving for that and I’ll keep you posted 🤘🏽
What front bumper is that? RS5 since you're converting to wide body by the looks of it? Was thinking of using a intake like that. But my black edition front bumper doesn't have open for light grill.
Hi Bruce I have been having trouble with my catch can set up since the beginning and I thought you might be able to help. My 2011 a5 has a fully rebuilt CAEB longitudinal 2.0T with basically all the same mods you have as of date of this video. I know you have moved on from there but I'm still running the APR 04 turbo and software. I bought a Spulen Africa plate from USP Tuning and combined that with a Ebay AN hose kit (AN10) with a generic can and a ventilation filter basically identical to yours. My car will smoke badly and the can fills quickly when I install the can system. After combing the internet for fixes I also stuffed the cam with shaved steel wool material to aid in condensate extraction. Still same problem! Would you have any advice to offer on the subject? I'll try to attach a photo to show the set up. As always thanks for your input.
Can you make a video with your dyno sheets? Is it WHP the dyno measured? I'm trying to decide between a ko4 hybrid or something bigger because ko4s are said to not be able to flow enough for 400hp
Not true, Apr alone, can put you at 375hp, with out water meth, and s3 injectors. With out my meth I'm right around 402 hp, meth and 100 octane map makes a big difference, give me your insta and I can send you some dyno's my old channel was only doyno's but was not doing well, people wanted to know how , so now I show the process, also this video at 3:34 shows my numbers and engine health czcams.com/video/YC1ViVJ2DvM/video.html
Hey 👋 Bruce quick question 🙋♂️ on your set up! I have a B8 A4 2.0t was considering to put the Audi R8 Coil Plugs. Which ones should I get? Year and Red ones or black top? Please let me no, I will appreciate your feedback. Thanks 🙏
Yo what’s up bro , here you go, the price in the description, there a little pricey because there oem, but places like euro running have modified ones, that is cheaper that could possibly work, I just bought 2 fakes sets by accident, so went the dealer route
Seen a few of your videos just wondering what your exact exhaust setup is because it sounds awesome. Sounds more like a 5 cylinder than a 4 cylinder!!!
Wow true champ you made it to the end of the video, thanks for the support, 🙏🙏💪🙏💪💯💯💯💯💯, god bless Go to 1:50 in this video and I do a walk thru, it’s not pretty but it gets the job done. Also the sprint booster gives me higher revs, to 7 rpm, and a deeper sound czcams.com/video/QhkPI-Rjd4M/video.html
Have you clocked your 0-60 time or 1/4 mile, hoping to do what you have done to my b8.5 a4 your videos have shown me what this 2.0t is really capable of!
It’s seems that catch cans cause crank case pressure in your engine, and in some cases leaks from your valve , and timing cover, so I put it there to let out the crank case pressure, the traditional Pcv valve, put the pressure back into your intake manifold, which will cause carbon build up, over time, from all of the regular blow by, from your piston rings, which is normal, especially if you have a tune, so it’s bitter sweet
@@brucecustommotors Appreciate your videos Bruce. I've blown all my seal last year with my catch can and could not figure it out. I went out and got the breather filter and used 3M double sided to stick it on my CTS catch can. Never have i thought the solution to my problems would be this easy. Thanks for the help and support from your video i fixed my stupid problem for 12 bucks!
hi nice breakdown of what you done did you have to do any engine upgrades like rods or piston even the cam follower and when first got the car what was the stock power im curious and mite invest in a b8
Khalid jabar I actually have an back up engine with forged rods and pistons, and timing chain, 2 tunners, told me my our engine peaks at 450 hp, one said 400hp, so it’s safe to say 450 is more ideal, being that if you tune an s3 or gulf r with the same engine you can reach dose numbers . But to awnser your question. I’ve been sitting on the extra engine for a 1 1/2 years🤣😂, I’m reluctant to do the work because, the forded parts will only make my engine stronger, but not as power. Although it is ported but that won’t be any power you will feel. And the cam follower is solid, I normally take of my fuel pump twice a year to check for wear on the fuel pump end of the follower.💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪
Why not use an Integrated Engineering Intake manifold? What's your thoughts on it? I've heard great things about it for the 2T and have been considering it on my B7 2T Q Titanium. Great video and cool share bud!
Does the engine withstand these powers as stock?Could there be a problem? Are all mods written below the video? What do you think about not wearing a methanol kit or what do you think about 100% water injection? Will it work with 95 octane gasoline?The highest octane gasoline 95 alcohol sale is prohibited in my country Can this setup be done with the garett 2876 turbo? Which engine oil do you use? Is the oil cooler needed for this setup? I have a 2009 Audi A5 coupe 2.0 tfsi. It reduces 1 liter of oil per 400 km. How can I solve this problem? is the car water radiator a stock?
how you doing bro. Yes so far my engine has stock internals, with no issues, Ive been told 450 is the threshold. so far so good. But I do have another engine with forged pistons and rings I've had for a year, I figured if I blew my engine . I would just put it in but its been year lol. Im in no rush to put it in because its tons of labor, and no power gain on stronger parts I have a ruiner flap delete that, I didn't mention , and turbo muffler delete, but they only ad about 5 hp I've tried water , and my temps went down but it would bog a little, and loose torque, because the water didn't evaporate or atomize fast enough yes 95 would work yes the garret 2876 should be fine, had one before I use Molly 5w40 full syntethic I use Lucas oil stabilizer to help me with my oil consumption yes stock radiator but after market inter cooler God bless !!!! here's my mod list if you have not seen it yet czcams.com/video/oV252jayFA8/video.html
Nice video mate, what's the cabin noise like with the injen intake, had the 034 motorsports intake with the cutout enclosure but the drone at 60kph was terrible.
Actually I had the same one , k&n and apr, injen performance is the best from a number gain perspective, and less drone do to the cone being near the bottom of the engine
These mods look all great, the big questions for me was what did you do about the tuning? Is the APR K04 turbo just the turbo+manifold bolt on with the S3 injectors, or did this need adjusted fueling / ignition timing? And I see with APR's K04 they require their upgraded high pressure fuel pump to feed the beast.. Do you have the upgraded HPFP?
the apr tune is pre loaded with timing fuel and boost, I can change maps, from stock to 104 . I normally use 104 map with my meth. apr says with k04 with out meth and added injectors they can get you to 385.hp. I guess i got lucky before i added my s3 injectors, and turned on my meth I dynoed at 391, after i put in the s3 injectors, and turned on my meth on 93 octain i was pushing 433. once I switched to the 104 octane map i averaged out at 452. Yes apr is only turbo and manifold, they recommend that you go to a colder spark plug like ngk 8 . and gap them 23. For the b8 and above ther is not an upgraded hpfp pump available. I thought the same thing. if you look on apr sight you can see its for b7 and bellow. with revo you can play with your timing, fuel, and boost with an sps switch, but be careful lol
Do you have to retune after the changed fuel injectors? I currently have a B9 A4 with Integrated Engineering stage 2 and high flow cat downpipe. I could run a 104 octane map but not sure if that would work. I also want to add meth but worried about the retunes for each
no ie should do the trick, for example, when I went k04 and ran my 100 octane file. I would get some lean codes from time to time, because the factory injectors, could not match the air flow for the fuel to air ratio. So I upgraded to the s3/golf r injectors, and I was able to optimize the full power of my tune and gain some horse power,(its also recommended by apr and various tuners) and never received a lean code again, ideally your tune will request the fuel to match the air from you maf (Mass air flow sensor) regardless if you can get it are not, and the size of the s3 injectors vs the stock is to small of a variable to run rich with just spraying. here's a right up forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4991112-Stock-vs-S3-vs-RS4-injectors-SOME-GOOD-INFO
Why is the engine transversely mounted in a TT? Does tour car have a Torsen diff? I was under the impression Haldex cars like the TT, have a horizontally mounted engine? I have a torsen diff in my B7 A4, and my 2.0TFSI is fitted in the same way. Just wondering😎
Definitely on the fence about going with a K04 for some extra power... is yours a genuine Borgwarner? I’m currently running APR stage 2 w/ a HFC. I have a 2011 2.0t TFSI A5. What would you recommend?
Eric Thomas I felt the same way, before I went k04 , especially from reading the forum’s, about is it really that big of a difference, I was also afraid to loose bottom end torque, but my k03 had waste gate issues, already, so I said what the hell. I was actually surprised how much power it gave, me, it was the same feeling as my first stage 1 tune, as we all know going from stage 1 to 2 is really not to impressive, more gain, but nothing like that first one, I honestly feel like a v8 now, before I would do pulls , with stage 2 on like m3’s mustang gt, and 392, and about 90 I would step off the gas because they would pull me, I kind of stayed in my power curve lane, know the top and just keep going and I pull on them. It’s definitely a big increase, and worth it , I just raced a c8 corvette from a 60 pull, and we were neck and neck, of course around 120 is when there extra cylinders would take over but who races over 120, same with hell cats etc... it doesn’t really matter if you go CT’s, hpa, or apr, there all k04’s and just basically put you in a position we’re you can run more power, for example if you pout a k04 tune on your k03 it would probably burn it out, so basically a k04 internally can handle more power, I would say it’s like forged internals in the engine 💪💪💪🔥
Bruce Custom Motors thanks for the information brother! I think I have got just the turbo in mind! www.urotuning.com/products/cts-turbo-borgwarner-k04-turbo-upgrade-kit-b7-a4-2-0-cts-b7-2-0fsi-k04kit-nocat?variant=31162237288503&Google%20Shopping#collapse-tab5
Nice video man good work car looks dope I've followed ur old videos about wide body etc and now the 455hp i am hoping to do the same to mine thanks for the upgrades list keep up the good work watching from NZ 👌
If you run it without a tune you will get, better performance do to the cooler engine temps, and higher octane which is about 105 it will also , help to keep your internals clean. The tune ads more timing which gives you the most horsepower which can go as far as 60hp, with out the tune you will probably get about 10hp increase, but you still have the other perks
Bruce Custom Motors thanks for the response, I just ordered a kit. I have a stage 2 integrated engineering tune on my car. I didn’t know if I had to change the tune because of it. I plan to go ko4 I just haven’t been able to find one yet unfortunately
Also wondering if you had to do any mods with the ecu or anything when adding the fuel injectors? We’re you able to just install and walk away or do you have to change the computer?
Very good info on the car, have an Audi myself & need to hook it up? But the motor in my Audi has-been said can't do much for it, but this is California where they're not into Audi's. Please respond, thanks
My friend I have a question, is there an order to those mods? cause If you install for instance the s3 fuel injectors before changing the turbo I think its pointless, that is a change you need to do when you change your turbo for a bigger one right? so besides the software upgrade (revo, apr, etc) and changing the exhaust and downpipe and Intercooler, what else can you do before changing the turbo??
Yes , you're right. I think if you changed the injectors first you would run rich, which is to much fuel, the intake, may not be able to provide enough air to accommodate, the added fuel. For example when i went k04 big turbo, I was running lean before i switched my injectors, which means I had to much air and not enough fuel.so what else you can do, is get a diverter valve, which helps the turbo spool up, a little better. Also a sprint booster. which improves your 0 to 60, and gives you full control of your throttle, and takes away the electronic lag, you may mentally feel like your anti lag is gone. I m going to do a video on it next week. also a throttle body spacer, improves your torque, and ofcourse an air intake.
Quick question, so I stumbled on a set of R8 coil pack and nkg spark plugs. If it adds any, approximately how much power/torque did that add? Haven’t gotten the chance to dyno yet
Love this video! I have the pre facelift b8 and plan on going K04 on 93 octane do you think the power will be similar due to yours being on 100 octane?
Thanks bro , welcome to the channel, mine is actually a pre facelift also , I just changed it. Here’s a video of my mods if you haven’t seen it, it’s about a 30 hp difference, but you still should be beast mode. czcams.com/video/oV252jayFA8/video.html
Hey man I just have a quick question for you I have a 2009 B8 with the APR K04 turbo and their full tune set up so I can change files whenever I need and downpipe with an AWE catback was watching you videos and wanted to know more about the S3 injectors went on APR but can't really find any info on if they are plug and play or if I need to do anything else any help would be greatly appreciated.
No there plug and play, it definitely optimized my tune to the full potential, I was running lean before I put them in, which basically means to much air or boost, and not enough gas. Here’s a comparison and example scroll down to the pic in the link, it’s definitely an upgrade, apr actually recommended it to me. forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4991112-Stock-vs-S3-vs-RS4-injectors-SOME-GOOD-INFO
Are you interals stock? And also do you have the EA888 gen 2 or 3? I have the gen 2 and I'm too wienie to add power because I've seen some horror stories of bent rods.
I have the same gen as you, all stock internals, but I put in new pistons and rings a year ago, only because my car had warranty for oil consumption issue. So I went ahead and did it, but not much we can do we our car but put forged parts. The horror stories are probably from timing chains snapping do you poor tensioner . That has always been an issue, but the dealer now has an updated part
Oh yeah I've seen plenty of time chain stories but I was going to do a timing refresh before adding power so I'm not too worried from things break after the fact. Appreciate the response my dude!
Hey bro,I just got my new intercooler same as yours,i haven't installed yet but I'm playing on doing it next week,i have apr stage 1 and also I bought the R8 red coil pack like yours,how much HP do you think ill be pushing?also I have E85 compatible 2014 audi a4 Quattro
Legitshooter stage 1 with your mods, apr will put you at 357hp /391torque e85 tune with stage 1 But with your mods you’ll be close to 370/ 400torque. Link below for stats www.goapr.com/products/software/ecu_upgrade/parts/ECU-20T-EA888-3-L-IS20
Yes our cars or under tuned oem tremendously, other than manuals they build almost equivalent platform forms as s3 cars . For example my bud has a stage 2 s3 running 425hp, and I always beat him by 2 cars. I’m definitely at the peak , every one says from a tuning perspective , 450 is the max .they say before I run into risk but so far so good, I’ll be the Ginny pig for the group. I figured if I blow something, I’ll just get forged internals, like piston rings/ springs and valves, as far as transmission, apr has torque management which briefly, reduces torque before gear change, is almost like your sliding into gear, you still have the dsg fart but it’s smooth. With revo, I don’t think my car would have lasted, I would get whiplash after every shift, it put all the power , to every gear shift, it was fun, but I wanted something mor conventional , I could drive every day. Apr only gives power when you ask for it, revo gives it on a tap, but both make it to the finish line at the same time, just a different way
It’s an apr k04, it gives 361hp, 405 torque with the apr ko4 100 octane map, then you ad my meth which ads about 50, then you ad my s3/rs3 Bosch injectors, bout 20hp, then you ad my Wagner racing inter cooler, and exhaust bam 450, look at the link I posted, if I ran e85 I can get 385 , alone but I went water meth for more gains. www.goapr.com/products/turbo_long_20_tfsi_gen2_b85.html
Hey bro i need some great advice from you since your like Albert Einstein on this platform. So I bought me a 2010 Audi A5 Quattro Manual AwD its at 151,000 miles on it. I replace new rocker arms and cams and clutch recently and my turbo is out but im driving perfectly fine like a brand new car. But to go the same route as you is it worth doing it with the condition and me being the third owner ? Because I know its alot of money to tear down a motor just to see if the engine is in good health but should i risk doing that because I know its hella expensive or is it safe to just start putting in a Ko4 turbo into it with same mods like you with out the watermeth?
I would do a compression test, to see if the engine is healthy, it’s cheap and can let you know how strong your car is first , and then follow the steps in this video and you will be fine czcams.com/video/YZO_tu0u7vA/video.html
Thank you man, I appreciate the advice and much love please keep progressing in this field that you are in and i love all the videos you put out they are amazing. Just im still here for your support for all your next videos
Hi, I have a 2.0T A5 2012 with all the same mods you have. I am running the APR stage 3 tune and 04 turbo. My engine is just rebuilt and fresh. I wanted to know exactly what S3 injectors you are running? Can you give me the part number and where you got yours? Did you upgrade your high pressure fuel pump? Have you gotten any codes lean or rich? Enjoyed the video man, keep up the good work!
Chris K for our car which is the same, apr does not offer an high pressure fuel pump, or turbo sensor. I too was looking to upgrade it, the b7 and b6. , and some gti’s offer the upgrade and engine fart noise were as ours doesn’t have a need. Yes I was running lean , a lot before I put the injectors in, once I put in the Bosch s3 injectors . It solved my problem, if you’re running rich , try cleaning your mass air flow sensor often , because of the boost level and air flow it tends to get dirty quick depending on what air intake system you have . I’m going to send you a link to the injectors, the injectors will level your tune and ensure the gas matches the air flow, our factory injectors are maxed out with the k04
Chris K 2 different prices Both golf r and s3 injectors which fits our vehicle one has the latest revision which is the more expensive one I have the cheapest one www.ebay.com/itm/233325010854 www.ebay.com/itm/303071017912
@@brucecustommotors thanks, was planning on getting it done with hpfp upgrade and a carbon clean. Only running stage 1 with dv+, so still have some way to go. Hi-flow cat and fmic are up next.
Did you have to upgrade suspension or trans as to not brake anything ? Currently running stage 2 b9 A4 thinking of taking the next step but don’t wsnt to break anything
I’ve heard that if I do ko4 swap and water meth I run the risk of harming engine internals I’m not sure if that’s true or not so looking for first hand experience how long have you been driving it with all those mods how often and any problems ??
Did you have to get a custom tune for your weather meth injection bc am planning to go stage 2 with IE with my 2.0t b8 a4 I already have my cai, HF downpipe big intercooler
yes i had my tuner tweeked for more timing, but before that i was just running the apr 100 octane fil starting my injections at 12, and full at 22, when i was with revo, and i just, did it my self with my sps controller, and looked at data logging, now with ie, and tweaking it as we speak, im getting ready to install the intake, and then will dyno, and hopefully get higher numbers. check out these videos ie intake manifold review czcams.com/video/M7Y_r18ECVM/video.html how to tune with ie czcams.com/video/m8p9C5m_pSA/video.html water meth playlist czcams.com/video/rJBG6gfd3UE/video.html
R R yeah welcome to the platform, you definitely can supersede mustang, with the weight ratio, I to owned a 5.0, and had it close to 570, sold it for a 2012 CT’s-v which I currently have, and I feel my Audi is more torchy , and more fun, the power band just feels, different, and the awd makes me feel safe , not fish tailing and all💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯
Hey Man, I have an audi a4 2014, i have already got a muffler and resonator delete. I also have this "chip tuner" that plugs into my OBD port by Thorton, Dont really know if it does anything, but i would really love some tips in giving me some more performance.
Yeh that chip tuner or race tuner is like just a extra sport mode on your vehicle, at least the race chip, but that is mounted in your engine and reprograms the signals to your engines, the ones that go into the USB port with out software programming prior to it, that you can switch back and forth I’m skeptical about. But race chip does ad like 30 hp, but if you’re on a budget. Here’s some first baby steps, and it’s all about your budget in order know. the race chip would be a waist of money if you ever plan on going stage 1 tune, but sprint booster can be ran with a tune, and actually feels like a tune. I have a video on it you should check it out in my playlist under tune and performance 1. Air intake, about 150$ to 300, any airflow helps your engine get more air in for a better combustion 2. Gfb diverter valve, 100$ helps your turbo hold boost better 3. Sprint booster, quicker throttle response bout 250$ 4. Stage one tune best bang for your buck (of course if it’s not in your budget you can take baby steps with the stuff above )about 399-499$ depending on who you go with, apr/revo/ie recomended
yeh all stock internals, all of my tunners says the most the engine can take, stuff like pistons and rings, and valves is 450hp. im right at the breaking point. the transmission seems to hold up aswell, but the shifting works better with apr tune, with revo it was real hard shifts. but apr has a torque management which reduces the torque right before you switch the gears. so its seamless gear switching. but honestly no issues, I figured if i blow something, ill just go forged internal to take up to 600hp, but of course that will be with a different turbo and fuel system. if the m3 isn't tuned with the right mods shouldn't be an issue. but a tuned m3 depends on the level they take it. Ive beat an old gen m3 and a new gen m3, but my buddy has his tuned stage 2 with exhaust he got me by a car and a half. im waiting for my rematch lol
Hey bro how can I send you some pictures of my build it's at the last step literally putting oil and water lines on I fabed them today,it may be running by tomorrow
Can you send me a link for the 2 resonators that you bought and also the s3 fuel injectors i found some resonators but they are all different prices so I didn’t know which one would be good for that kind of power that I am trying to add and I just only found regular fuel injectors I couldn’t find the s3
Hey Whatsup man I got a 2006 Vw Jetta Gli in my backyard with 164k on the dash looks neglected but It still turns on and runs good this car has paddle shifters and Dual Clutch Transmission its a FSI Turbo 2.0 you think it would be worth doing something like this? the engine looks identical to yours
yes a 100% you may have the 1.8t like my b7, but you can get same numbers, and believe it are not , they have alot of big turbo upgrade options, for that year
yes it does go to the link in my description, revo has a k04, apr has one, cts has one, and hpa, others do to but these are the most common, they all range different prices, my link has apr
I have a question I have almost same setup except im getting ready to add the Sno meth injection to my car. What do you have your APR octane setup at? Right now I constantly run 93 octane with the meth injection do you need to change it so its as though your running Cam2 racing fuel?
so I run my meth with the 100 octane map, and I run cam some times, but mostly I use boostane, which is a comparable fuel adhesive. if I'm low on race fuel, im still ok from the meth doh. but before I was running on 93 it was ok, but 100 gives you more timing, I Strat my spray at 12, and end at 25, which is around my high boost peak
@@brucecustommotors ok so you do put ur setting on the higher setting? The reason I'm asking is because APR says you can't do that. Another question my engine code is CAEB and I can't find S3 injectors to fit, where did you get them. Mine is a 09 I have APR II+ CTS K04 with 200 cell HFC IE performance intercooler, K&N air charger and AWE cat-back SS dual exhaust with quad tips. I just love the sound you have it sounds like the RS's. Is that a custom exhaust?
@@wyhsbrep here are the injectors, they changed them to these I believe in 2015 www.ebay.com/itm/4x-Genuine-Bosch-Fuel-Injectors-Nozzle-For-VW-Golf-R-MK7-Audi-S3-8V-TTS-2-0-TFSI-/133575740329?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Some times people buy the older ones were the plug doesn’t fit, so be careful sometimes people mix up the year, and yeh apr told me the same thing, there really safe when it comes to tuning. Which is why they discontinued stage 2 tune. But the higher the octane the more timing you can ad. And when I had revo which is more of an aggressive tune I had my start point at 7 because it’s starts of dope aggressive, we’re as apr is conservative and builds up more. You want your starting point to be at your most aggressive boost peak so the air can atomize the meth, check out these 2 videos in these links
@@brucecustommotors i got it. The problem is that i run 300km with 1l. That's a lot. And for changing the piston is 3000e a lot for me. I just bought it 1year ago for 10k at 116k km. What you recomend? The Catch can can solve a bit of the problem ?
Man where does one begin? I have a 2012 Avant 2.0 and thinking about going with a stage 1 tune. I’m also thinking about changing the inter cooler and cold air intake. I’ve owned the car since new, the only changes I’ve made were 3” pipes cat back, I’ve also lowered the car. My wife has a 2014 tts, I’d be happy if my car had that power. For a little while anyway.🤪
you will be surprised what a stage one tune will do, it will make you think you have a new engine in your car. my first tune was revo stage 1. one day i was driving, and a hemi charger was pulling up on me. this is when i was stock, and I pulled on him. I new at that point, I had potential. ( I was hooked) so i went all in. the only other 2 times that I noticed a significant difference, is with my water meth and k04, the rest is minimum noticeable. but with s3 injectors, and intake, you will feel more torque. So defitnetly stage 1 tune first. Ive had apr and revo, They are both similar.
Thanks so much for the reply, made an appointment to bring the 2.0 in next week for the stage 1. My wife has a 2014 tts ( I drive mostly) trying to convince her to go to a stage 1 for her car. Told her I’d pay for it🤪
What’s the difference with the b9 2.0 to the b8 one?... notice intake is different n coil packs are different n the turbo . But I’m curious to know the details in the difference I know the b9 one pushes a bit more. I’m used to the b8 engine which I was pushing to stage 2 on Integrated engineering
Jonathan Cortes right now ie and apr has a good tune for it both about 360 hp, and close to 400 torque. It’s the same platform, and engine ,on my the engine and Ecuador is displaced a little different, so you should get the same results, they offer e85 also. Look below in the first link you can see each gen engine you have gen 3 I have gen 2, pretty much the same. www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk02HMR2HP3i_GsDp8S6qgIg7pR-fsQ%3A1598123585650&source=hp&ei=QW5BX9GYJc_EsAX53pGIAQ&q=audi+a4+2.0+tfsi+engine+diagram&oq=audi+b9+tfsi+engine+dia&gs_lcp=ChFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocBABGAAyBggAEBYQHjIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKABOgcIIxDqAhAnOgQIIxAnOgUIABCRAjoECAAQQzoICAAQsQMQgwE6CggAELEDEBQQhwI6BQgAELEDOgcIABCxAxBDOgIIADoHCAAQFBCHAjoICCEQFhAdEB5QkgxYoVtg0GFoAXAAeACAAd4CiAHrFJIBCDkuMTMuMC4xmAEAoAEBsAEPuAED&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp#imgrc=I8fRCIwNM6NMYM performancebyie.com/products/ie-audi-b9-a4-a5-performance-ecu-tune www.goapr.com/products/software/ecu_upgrade/parts/ECU-20T-EA888-3-L-IS20 www.etektuning.com/apr-2-0-tfsi-ea888-gen-3-ecu-upgrade-for-audi-b9-a4-a5-q5/

Hey me too
🏁💯 right!
lol, I like how you listed all the stuff like catch can and intake and then mention you got k04 at the very end) main ingredient to get 400+ out of 2.0T)
lol right , like it was a k&N sticker🤦♂️
KO4 on EA888 Gen 2 only makes about 350chp with boltons.
I’m glad you’re posting again I just recently picked up an Audi A5 B8 2.0t I love it. My plans are to eventually make it B8.5 because I love the look so much. So I’ve started making it a little bit more bullet proof by getting GFB diverter valve and catch can etc. My next move will be intercooler, turbo kit and tune, suspension and exhaust. I started following you about a month ago when I started doing my research on upgrades. That wide body look is on point and this I must say is the best I’ve seen yet! I followed you on instagram too. Keep those videos coming brotha!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
thanks brother it truly means a lot, especially in these difficult times. My car is actually a b8, i bought a hood and front bumper and lights, it converted it . youre going to have so much fun with your car. Im here for any questions, god bless you brother.
I believe I am somewhere at 390-400 HP on my 2017 Audi S3 without having done a carbon cleanup.
I have a ram air intake from USP + turbo inlet upgrade. I tried to copy Eventuri's design in the air filter. The air intake has definitely made a HUGE Difference in power. Also got RS7 Spark Plugs THESE ARE NOT GAPPED. I kept their original gapping to allow for more power but, potential less reliability in the forms of misfires. The higher the gap (usually) = more power. No problems so far and as a matter of fact I have 0 misfires now.
Also got the APR Coil Packs. I also have the dogbone insert mount which has believe it or not increased my 0-60 time due to the car remaining planted to the ground. Michelin PS4S tires. Unitronic Stage 1+ ECU + TCU Tune. Using Liquimoly for all my fluids and have seen some noticeable results. Haldex pump has a new filter as well to fix previous traction issues.
At this moment I am contemplating Stage 2, an intercooler, and additional Subframe Mounts.
What are your temps right now that you can see in the dash? Not through data logging.
I usually see 210 nominal operating temp and when I get on it it makes at 230. However, on average when I drive somewhat hard it will be at 224 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, I'll turn the car off and my radiator fan kicks up due to the car being very hot. I am thinking it might be coolant related but, my water pump is not leaking. Or maybe I need an intercooler.
You should look into a carbon cleaning as well. I am meaning to do that next.
Main amazing right up, loving your build I might have to try the Audi r7 plugs, and agreed I just did a video on spark plugs. I have mine gapped at 28, the suggested from apr .24 made me loose torque, and power.
My intake temp with my Wagner racing inter cooler on a hot, is around 190, and when I push it around 212, but then there’s the met I have it post inter cooler so my mad doesn’t read the data, but it basically cools my intake about 40%, it’s like your first drive when your engine is cold, or if the temp is around 60%. Meth is what gave me the big jump up to , 450, before I was around 400 like you, I also ad heat to every gallon of boost juice, which helps with the cooling, and octane, I’m also running Apr 100 octane racing file. What’s your insta would love to follow your build
Also I had that fan issue before my inter cooler upgrade, and my temps where close to yours
@@brucecustommotors Good to know. I will see what temps look like during stage 2 but, an upgraded intercooler would maybe make more sense at that point.
I was thinking about meth as well. I did not want to install a tank in the trunk though, and I was thinking about pulling it from my windshield wiper fluid reservoir. I do not plan on using it 100% of the time. I would like to run it maybe 5% of the time when racing other people.
You suggest running a custom map for Meth or should I just use it for cooling purposes? I do not want to go E85 and it seems like meth is maybe the next best thing next to doing a full turbo upgrade (bigger turbo means I lose the low rpm torqueyness of the IS38), having the engine bored for higher displacement, and going fully stage 3.
What's next on your list? I have a bunch of cosmetic stuff I want done soon as well aside from performance upgrades.
Dave ThaBoss yeh let me know how ever I can help
excuse me if I missed it, do you have an exhaust on your s3? if so, I would love to hear it . The s3 has the same engine as the Golf R that I want. It is tough to make that platform sound nice. Only heard a hand full of nice sounding ones.

Bruce, I can’t believe you haven’t lost the plastic intake manifold. I’m installing an aluminum IE to my 2012 B8, well having it installed, along with a Cts down pipe and high flow cat. Also having Cts intake, Ko4 turbo, stage 2 tune and CTS intercooler. After waiting since June, parts are finally in! After having Bilsteen coil overs this car should be able to scoot. Hopefully will at least keep up with the wife’s TTS!
Yeh I know, man I'm excited for your ride, I would love to see pics, what tune are you going with for the flap delete, your car is going to be a beast
@@brucecustommotors APR doesn't write a tune for any after market intake manifolds. I just dressed mine up and it looks great I was hoping you could give me the part number for the S3 injectors you installed. I have seen some coming out of china but am scared to get knock offs. Where did you get yours and were they original Bosch? Keep up the good work buddy!
I gotta say, I’ve NEVER commented on a CZcams video but love what you’re doing and how you put it out here. I have a 2014 A5 just about to hit 30,000 miles (prime platform 😁) So far have stage 2 from Integrated Engineering, 3” down pipe, Injen cold air, and diverter valve.

Most would say it’s silly to do old school mods on a 2002 Audi A4 Quattro, I say it’s practical and safe, as long as you do your math right and compensate for the issues caused (too rich or too lean) timing issues etc, all issues have solutions.
My cars like a rubix cube very untraditional for a 2002 😂
Wow I would love to see your build, sounds like you know what you’re doing, you got a new subscriber. I would love to collaborate anytime
M1 and Water for the win. I run 30% meth/70% water on my Mazdaspeed 3 with the stock turbo. Huge difference vs one without it at the drag strip. 13.5 quarter mile on a stock turbo and street tires. Anyhow, I just bought an o6 B7 A4 for $300 that put out white clouds of smoke inspector gadget would be proud of....So I threw in a new pcv and the smoke is now gone, but now have no boost because the Diverter valve is shot. After watching your video I am now torn on keeping it stock ko3 with meth injection, or just go big right away with the ko4 swap. GREAT INFO on your build..thank you.
RotorMan Dan if it’s in your budget I would go k04, I was torn between going k04 because forums would say it’s not worth it, or much of a difference From the k03. Man the k04 make me feel like I have a v8, also the b7 platform has already have a base of big turbo upgrades that can be cheaper than b8 and above, people mastered that year, my brother has a b7 1.8t pulling numbers close to mine. But I was in your same boat, I lost some boost, and a little white 💨, so when I looked my turbo waste gate had play in it, and I switched to a gfb dv valve. You can also find a k03 on eBay for about 2 to 300 bucks or less if you dig enough, but I’m really impressed with the numbers on the Mazda , I know you will go beast mode on the a4, 3 main causes , of no boost, is diverted, waste gate, or pcv. Keep me posted.
that car if your lucky has 350 hp if it's got a k04 but since you lied about dyno numbers who knows post you numbers if you dyno that car let's see the paper work cause there's no waybthat car had even close to what hp your saying lololololol
IE only boosts that engine to 367hp by using 100 AKI / 104 RON, so pushing this engine to 450??? Sounds like a nice big bowl of baloney.
320hp 360tq on my 2018 A3. Intake, downpipe, exhaust and Stage 2 APR tune and TCU. IS38 turbo upgrade coming soon. Crazy how detuned most Audi cars are. Just my tune alone added 80hp and 80tq
man is38 is a beast, I can honestly say, its better than the ko4 based on , results. yeh I agree. I was surprised I just beat an 08 r8 4.2, we did 3 runs. got him every time. I'm starting to look into a big big turbo like a 50mm or 60mm, im working with this tune shop on fueling that can support it right now, just finished fabricating a manifold for it to be top mount. ill keep you posted might do a video on it once the turbo comes in, my goal is 700hp, I already have forged parts and a engine block, waiting
Bruce Custom Motors hope its not your day driver lol. I would love a 4.2 6 speed R8! Good kill! Bet he was salty haha. Thats why i love my A3, its a sleeper
@@aaronp9835 no got a couple of other cars, just been adding new gadgets, so have been driving it more. yeh im sure the r8 thought I was an rs5, he probably still has his pride lol
Bruce Custom Motors haha. He still thinks of the gaps you put on him, trust me
The main purpose of a catch can is to stop carbon buildup in the combustion chamber since it is a direct injection engine.
I agree a 100% with you check out my video on it. czcams.com/video/CpOwiKTDdmk/video.html

You have the most beautiful car tuning videos of your youtube channel❤️
thanks really means a lot, you guys motivate me to make videos, I always use to go to forums to try and find answers , but the info was always outdated, you get sarcastic, response, and never get a clear awnser, so my goal was to make my channel, a new forum, which is why I reply to everyone, share my page with your buds and groups, to make this channel even bigger, thanks for the support and god bless brother
Bro I just added meth to my car, and it added 54 hp, I didn't think it was possible honestly
Im running apr v3.1 like you and they told me they didn't have a map for it, I was pushing about 371, from my last Dynos, after my map and now I'm at like 430hp so I ran the 100 octane race file and boom, my car went to another level, thanks for the vids bro. I subscribed, but I went with stage 3 snow performance, is it any better
Yeh its all about the timing, and tune, you just have to know the right time to start your spray, and max out your spray, thru the highest boost. APR is a safe company, so they don't promote anything outside of a tune. for b8 and below platforms, we don't have the option of e85, because were not flex fuel, and our intake manifold. So methanol is our best option, but I prefer it because, you can get more of gain. Apr can put you at like 380 with e85, look at my link in the description. Heck I know people running meth, and e85. Overall meth gives you more timing, cooling, octane, and helps with predestination, so you can push your car harder, when I was with revo, I just advanced my timing with my sps controller, and apr 100ct race file ads more timing so I put 2 and 2 together, and stage 3 just gives you more visual features with your controller, but everything else is the same. Glad I could help, and thanks for subscribing
love your build man, definitely goals. currently going with the same build on a4
Let me know if you need anything I just did an update video
I've heard rumors of turbo oil leak from blocking off the intake manifold driver side pcv port. Maybe something to do with over loading the diverter valve lines since some pressure would normally be venting out off the valve cover driver side pcv port. Also the crankcase would be venting out of only 1 valve cover pcv port versus 2 ports, what it was originally designed. Replacing the cyclonic oil separator with one that is lacking a cyclonic system is not a good idea. I understand that the whole idea is to prolong carbon build up on the intake valves. I've researched all Audi A4 B8 FWD 2.0 catch can systems. I think all of the catch can designs (BFI, Billet, ECStuning, CTS, etc) for this particular vehicle all have flaws. The reason being it completely ignores either the driver side or the passenger side pcv vent system by simply blocking off a side. In addition of the block off, some system completely replaces/remove the cyclonic oil separator. If I was to do a catch can system for this vehicle, I would go with the ECStuning system that keeps the cyclonic oil separator. It covers the passenger side pcv port -TO- ECS catch can -TO- turbo inlet. Then I will install a custom catch can system mount on the driver side firewall that covers the driver side pcv port -TO- baffled catch can -TO- intake manifold. That would be an ideal system for me to prevent a problem down the road. Catch cans you'll have to keep empty them, even more often if your driving region have bumpy roads and hills. Either that or don't install one and remove your instake manifold ever 90k miles or so, manually turn the crank to close each cylinder's valves and clean them one by one. I would also inspect the intake valves using a borescope every now and then. Stupid direct injection system with constant computer regulating unnessary shit for daily driving for the sake of optimal fuel economy by a few miles and slightly lower emission in theory not taking into factor the driver's behavior. Like the eco start/stop system. You have to ask yourself with the high amount of high pressure fuel injectors being replaced due to direct injection system and the high amount of starters being replaced due to constant use from eco start/stop system. How much energy or resources does it take to manufacture those items and transport them to sell to consumers. Is is worth having a direct injection system and eco start/stop for daily use? Port system works just fine and gets pretty good gas mileage if its an inline 4 with more gears keeping the rpm low at cruising speeds.
if your seals are worn, you can have that problem, which is why I put a breather on mine, to your point to elevate crank case pressure.
Thanks for the passion and info, god bless

I was wondering dude does this car consume much oil. People say these cars do the 2.0tfsi engines. And also my oil level sometimes says it’s full and not full ?

Hey Bruce
I am awaiting a set of s3 / golf R fuel injectors. I was wondering if you have upgraded your high pressure fuel pump when you installed these injectors? I am considering installing the JHM piston upgrade. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks again for all the great videos as they have really helped me out!
No there’s currently not an upgrade for the hpfp for b8 or b8.5 unless it’s custom but I haven’t had any issues thus far, i think b7 has one
@@brucecustommotors Bruce, I'm pretty sure the piston and cylinder upgrade for the B8 2.0T platform is available. I'm gonna double check though. So I guess what I'm asking is that in your experience, you haven't felt the need for additional fueling volume or pressure with the up sized injectors? Believe me I am not looking to throw money down the drain as these HPFP upgrades go for 350.00 to 600.00. Interestingly I got a set of S3 / Golf R ("Bosch") injectors for just $239.00off Ebay. I just hope the hell they are genuine, the vendor swears they are. Thanks for the response buddy!

Hi Bruce
I have been having trouble with my catch can set up since the beginning and I thought you might be able to help. My 2011 a5 has a fully rebuilt CAEB longitudinal 2.0T with basically all the same mods you have as of date of this video. I know you have moved on from there but I'm still running the APR 04 turbo and software. I bought a Spulen Africa plate from USP Tuning and combined that with a Ebay AN hose kit (AN10) with a generic can and a ventilation filter basically identical to yours. My car will smoke badly and the can fills quickly when I install the can system. After combing the internet for fixes I also stuffed the cam with shaved steel wool material to aid in condensate extraction. Still same problem! Would you have any advice to offer on the subject? I'll try to attach a photo to show the set up. As always thanks for your input.
send me a photo , to productuions@bgeminirecords.com , i wonder if its set up backwards, or your tube or internally, if the mesh is backwards
Can you make a video with your dyno sheets? Is it WHP the dyno measured? I'm trying to decide between a ko4 hybrid or something bigger because ko4s are said to not be able to flow enough for 400hp
Not true, Apr alone, can put you at 375hp, with out water meth, and s3 injectors. With out my meth I'm right around 402 hp, meth and 100 octane map makes a big difference, give me your insta and I can send you some dyno's my old channel was only doyno's but was not doing well, people wanted to know how , so now I show the process, also this video at 3:34 shows my numbers and engine health

you could also get a bigger aluminum intake manifold for more top end power
yeh I bought an ie one, thanks for the look out

@@brucecustommotors any dragy videos with it?
Bruce you are explain it well brother 👏 Thank you for the information and knowledge 👍
I’ve noticed the breather filter on the CTs catch can. I’m interested in why you have that filter there.
It’s seems that catch cans cause crank case pressure in your engine, and in some cases leaks from your valve , and timing cover, so I put it there to let out the crank case pressure, the traditional Pcv valve, put the pressure back into your intake manifold, which will cause carbon build up, over time, from all of the regular blow by, from your piston rings, which is normal, especially if you have a tune, so it’s bitter sweet
@@brucecustommotors Appreciate your videos Bruce. I've blown all my seal last year with my catch can and could not figure it out. I went out and got the breather filter and used 3M double sided to stick it on my CTS catch can. Never have i thought the solution to my problems would be this easy. Thanks for the help and support from your video i fixed my stupid problem for 12 bucks!
hi nice breakdown of what you done
did you have to do any engine upgrades like rods or piston even the cam follower and when first got the car what was the stock power im curious and mite invest in a b8
Khalid jabar I actually have an back up engine with forged rods and pistons, and timing chain, 2 tunners, told me my our engine peaks at 450 hp, one said 400hp, so it’s safe to say 450 is more ideal, being that if you tune an s3 or gulf r with the same engine you can reach dose numbers . But to awnser your question. I’ve been sitting on the extra engine for a 1 1/2 years🤣😂, I’m reluctant to do the work because, the forded parts will only make my engine stronger, but not as power. Although it is ported but that won’t be any power you will feel. And the cam follower is solid, I normally take of my fuel pump twice a year to check for wear on the fuel pump end of the follower.💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪

Which engine oil do you use? Is the oil cooler needed for this setup? I have a 2009 Audi A5 coupe 2.0 tfsi. It reduces 1 liter of oil per 400 km. How can I solve this problem?
is the car water radiator a stock?
how you doing bro. Yes so far my engine has stock internals, with no issues, Ive been told 450 is the threshold. so far so good. But I do have another engine with forged pistons and rings I've had for a year, I figured if I blew my engine . I would just put it in but its been year lol. Im in no rush to put it in because its tons of labor, and no power gain on stronger parts
I have a ruiner flap delete that, I didn't mention , and turbo muffler delete, but they only ad about 5 hp
I've tried water , and my temps went down but it would bog a little, and loose torque, because the water didn't evaporate or atomize fast enough
yes 95 would work
yes the garret 2876 should be fine, had one before
I use Molly 5w40 full syntethic
I use Lucas oil stabilizer to help me with my oil consumption
yes stock radiator but after market inter cooler
God bless !!!!
here's my mod list if you have not seen it yet
czcams.com/video/oV252jayFA8/video.html
Nice video mate, what's the cabin noise like with the injen intake, had the 034 motorsports intake with the cutout enclosure but the drone at 60kph was terrible.
Actually I had the same one , k&n and apr, injen performance is the best from a number gain perspective, and less drone do to the cone being near the bottom of the engine
These mods look all great, the big questions for me was what did you do about the tuning? Is the APR K04 turbo just the turbo+manifold bolt on with the S3 injectors, or did this need adjusted fueling / ignition timing? And I see with APR's K04 they require their upgraded high pressure fuel pump to feed the beast.. Do you have the upgraded HPFP?
the apr tune is pre loaded with timing fuel and boost, I can change maps, from stock to 104 . I normally use 104 map with my meth. apr says with k04 with out meth and added injectors they can get you to 385.hp. I guess i got lucky before i added my s3 injectors, and turned on my meth I dynoed at 391, after i put in the s3 injectors, and turned on my meth on 93 octain i was pushing 433. once I switched to the 104 octane map i averaged out at 452.
Yes apr is only turbo and manifold, they recommend that you go to a colder spark plug like ngk 8 . and gap them 23.
For the b8 and above ther is not an upgraded hpfp pump available. I thought the same thing. if you look on apr sight you can see its for b7 and bellow. with revo you can play with your timing, fuel, and boost with an sps switch, but be careful lol
Where's the dyno sheet?
Been there done that, give me your Instagram and I’ll send it to you, was in my old channel 💪💪💪💪
Do you have to retune after the changed fuel injectors? I currently have a B9 A4 with Integrated Engineering stage 2 and high flow cat downpipe. I could run a 104 octane map but not sure if that would work. I also want to add meth but worried about the retunes for each
no ie should do the trick, for example, when I went k04 and ran my 100 octane file. I would get some lean codes from time to time, because the factory injectors, could not match the air flow for the fuel to air ratio. So I upgraded to the s3/golf r injectors, and I was able to optimize the full power of my tune and gain some horse power,(its also recommended by apr and various tuners) and never received a lean code again, ideally your tune will request the fuel to match the air from you maf (Mass air flow sensor) regardless if you can get it are not, and the size of the s3 injectors vs the stock is to small of a variable to run rich with just spraying. here's a right up

Definitely on the fence about going with a K04 for some extra power... is yours a genuine Borgwarner? I’m currently running APR stage 2 w/ a HFC. I have a 2011 2.0t TFSI A5. What would you recommend?
Eric Thomas I felt the same way, before I went k04 , especially from reading the forum’s, about is it really that big of a difference, I was also afraid to loose bottom end torque, but my k03 had waste gate issues, already, so I said what the hell. I was actually surprised how much power it gave, me, it was the same feeling as my first stage 1 tune, as we all know going from stage 1 to 2 is really not to impressive, more gain, but nothing like that first one, I honestly feel like a v8 now, before I would do pulls , with stage 2 on like m3’s mustang gt, and 392, and about 90 I would step off the gas because they would pull me, I kind of stayed in my power curve lane, know the top and just keep going and I pull on them. It’s definitely a big increase, and worth it , I just raced a c8 corvette from a 60 pull, and we were neck and neck, of course around 120 is when there extra cylinders would take over but who races over 120, same with hell cats etc... it doesn’t really matter if you go CT’s, hpa, or apr, there all k04’s and just basically put you in a position we’re you can run more power, for example if you pout a k04 tune on your k03 it would probably burn it out, so basically a k04 internally can handle more power, I would say it’s like forged internals in the engine 💪💪💪🔥

Amazing video thank you!!!!!! This helped alot
Anytime bro
Great video with great information, I had a question about running the water/ meth injection kit. Do you need a specific tune to run it?
If you run it without a tune you will get, better performance do to the cooler engine temps, and higher octane which is about 105 it will also , help to keep your internals clean. The tune ads more timing which gives you the most horsepower which can go as far as 60hp, with out the tune you will probably get about 10hp increase, but you still have the other perks
Bruce Custom Motors thanks for the response, I just ordered a kit. I have a stage 2 integrated engineering tune on my car. I didn’t know if I had to change the tune because of it. I plan to go ko4 I just haven’t been able to find one yet unfortunately

Yes sir will do
My friend I have a question, is there an order to those mods? cause If you install for instance the s3 fuel injectors before changing the turbo I think its pointless, that is a change you need to do when you change your turbo for a bigger one right? so besides the software upgrade (revo, apr, etc) and changing the exhaust and downpipe and Intercooler, what else can you do before changing the turbo??
Yes , you're right. I think if you changed the injectors first you would run rich, which is to much fuel, the intake, may not be able to provide enough air to accommodate, the added fuel. For example when i went k04 big turbo, I was running lean before i switched my injectors, which means I had to much air and not enough fuel.so what else you can do, is get a diverter valve, which helps the turbo spool up, a little better. Also a sprint booster. which improves your 0 to 60, and gives you full control of your throttle, and takes away the electronic lag, you may mentally feel like your anti lag is gone. I m going to do a video on it next week. also a throttle body spacer, improves your torque, and ofcourse an air intake.

No there plug and play, it definitely optimized my tune to the full potential, I was running lean before I put them in, which basically means to much air or boost, and not enough gas. Here’s a comparison and example scroll down to the pic in the link, it’s definitely an upgrade, apr actually recommended it to me. forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4991112-Stock-vs-S3-vs-RS4-injectors-SOME-GOOD-INFO
20 mine is a 2007 Audi A3 what engine does it specifically have? What is all this B’s you are talking about? New to Audi
you fall into the category, you should have a 1.8t or 2.0t
Are you interals stock? And also do you have the EA888 gen 2 or 3? I have the gen 2 and I'm too wienie to add power because I've seen some horror stories of bent rods.
I have the same gen as you, all stock internals, but I put in new pistons and rings a year ago, only because my car had warranty for oil consumption issue. So I went ahead and did it, but not much we can do we our car but put forged parts. The horror stories are probably from timing chains snapping do you poor tensioner . That has always been an issue, but the dealer now has an updated part
Oh yeah I've seen plenty of time chain stories but I was going to do a timing refresh before adding power so I'm not too worried from things break after the fact. Appreciate the response my dude!
Hey bro,I just got my new intercooler same as yours,i haven't installed yet but I'm playing on doing it next week,i have apr stage 1 and also I bought the R8 red coil pack like yours,how much HP do you think ill be pushing?also I have E85 compatible 2014 audi a4 Quattro
Legitshooter stage 1 with your mods, apr will put you at 357hp /391torque e85 tune with stage 1
But with your mods you’ll be close to 370/ 400torque. Link below for stats
www.goapr.com/products/software/ecu_upgrade/parts/ECU-20T-EA888-3-L-IS20
Do you have stock drive train? Trans, driveshaft, axles?
Yes our cars or under tuned oem tremendously, other than manuals they build almost equivalent platform forms as s3 cars . For example my bud has a stage 2 s3 running 425hp, and I always beat him by 2 cars. I’m definitely at the peak , every one says from a tuning perspective , 450 is the max .they say before I run into risk but so far so good, I’ll be the Ginny pig for the group. I figured if I blow something, I’ll just get forged internals, like piston rings/ springs and valves, as far as transmission, apr has torque management which briefly, reduces torque before gear change, is almost like your sliding into gear, you still have the dsg fart but it’s smooth. With revo, I don’t think my car would have lasted, I would get whiplash after every shift, it put all the power , to every gear shift, it was fun, but I wanted something mor conventional , I could drive every day. Apr only gives power when you ask for it, revo gives it on a tap, but both make it to the finish line at the same time, just a different way
Where did you get the K04 turbo? I'd be interested in what compressor wheel and turbine you're running to get that much power from a single K04.
It’s an apr k04, it gives 361hp, 405 torque with the apr ko4 100 octane map, then you ad my meth which ads about 50, then you ad my s3/rs3 Bosch injectors, bout 20hp, then you ad my Wagner racing inter cooler, and exhaust bam 450, look at the link I posted, if I ran e85 I can get 385 , alone but I went water meth for more gains. www.goapr.com/products/turbo_long_20_tfsi_gen2_b85.html

I replace new rocker arms and cams and clutch recently and my turbo is out but im driving perfectly fine like a brand new car. But to go the same route as you is it worth doing it with the condition and me being the third owner ? Because I know its alot of money to tear down a motor just to see if the engine is in good health but should i risk doing that because I know its hella expensive or is it safe to just start putting in a Ko4 turbo into it with same mods like you with out the watermeth?

It solved my problem, if you’re running rich , try cleaning your mass air flow sensor often , because of the boost level and air flow it tends to get dirty quick depending on what air intake system you have . I’m going to send you a link to the injectors, the injectors will level your tune and ensure the gas matches the air flow, our factory injectors are maxed out with the k04
Chris K 2 different prices
Both golf r and s3 injectors which fits our vehicle one has the latest revision which is the more expensive one I have the cheapest one

Thanks for the love🙏
Can you get away with upgrading to the s3 injectors while still on the k03, or would it only be beneficial with the k04 turbo?
You will get a slight bump, but nothing significant, unless you tune, but you can get a little more power with a good air intake
@@brucecustommotors thanks, was planning on getting it done with hpfp upgrade and a carbon clean. Only running stage 1 with dv+, so still have some way to go. Hi-flow cat and fmic are up next.
Do u recommend those rs injectors for a Q3 man I want a lil more power then just the 215 I have lol I just don't want to tune it it's already at 109k
I don't see the PVC upgrade going to the catch can in your video, what type of PVC are you using
the catch can has an Africa plate that replaces the pcv, reference this video

I’ve heard that if I do ko4 swap and water meth I run the risk of harming engine internals I’m not sure if that’s true or not so looking for first hand experience how long have you been driving it with all those mods how often and any problems ??
Did you have to get a custom tune for your weather meth injection bc am planning to go stage 2 with IE with my 2.0t b8 a4 I already have my cai, HF downpipe big intercooler
yes i had my tuner tweeked for more timing, but before that i was just running the apr 100 octane fil starting my injections at 12, and full at 22, when i was with revo, and i just, did it my self with my sps controller, and looked at data logging, now with ie, and tweaking it as we speak, im getting ready to install the intake, and then will dyno, and hopefully get higher numbers. check out these videos

Amazing build I just bought a A5 2.0t had a 550hp mustang with spray was looking for a build like this
R R yeah welcome to the platform, you definitely can supersede mustang, with the weight ratio, I to owned a 5.0, and had it close to 570, sold it for a 2012 CT’s-v which I currently have, and I feel my Audi is more torchy , and more fun, the power band just feels, different, and the awd makes me feel safe , not fish tailing and all💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯
Hey Man, I have an audi a4 2014, i have already got a muffler and resonator delete. I also have this "chip tuner" that plugs into my OBD port by Thorton, Dont really know if it does anything, but i would really love some tips in giving me some more performance.
Yeh that chip tuner or race tuner is like just a extra sport mode on your vehicle, at least the race chip, but that is mounted in your engine and reprograms the signals to your engines, the ones that go into the USB port with out software programming prior to it, that you can switch back and forth I’m skeptical about. But race chip does ad like 30 hp, but if you’re on a budget. Here’s some first baby steps, and it’s all about your budget in order know. the race chip would be a waist of money if you ever plan on going stage 1 tune, but sprint booster can be ran with a tune, and actually feels like a tune. I have a video on it you should check it out in my playlist under tune and performance
1. Air intake, about 150$ to 300, any airflow helps your engine get more air in for a better combustion
2. Gfb diverter valve, 100$ helps your turbo hold boost better
3. Sprint booster, quicker throttle response bout 250$
4. Stage one tune best bang for your buck (of course if it’s not in your budget you can take baby steps with the stuff above )about 399-499$ depending on who you go with, apr/revo/ie recomended
Probably silly question but I'm curious about the fuel consumption what does that avarege? Is it like 12mpg or something? Thanks
Bout 14
@@brucecustommotors thanks that's actually alright considering the mods, I love your car bud
I have the same car. Have u experienced engine oil & coolant leak problem?
I have changed the coolant flange, timing chain cover, and valve cover once.
@@brucecustommotors thanks. Will try that soon
Is this the EA888 Gen 3b engine? I’m trying to find out if this can be done to my Passat Wolfsburg edition
Yes it can be done to passsat and cc
I barely got into this car stuff 😅 but is their certain parts you have to have before you get another part installed.

Are using stock internals? Factory pistons, conrods... I would like to beat em my friend’s M3😂
yeh all stock internals, all of my tunners says the most the engine can take, stuff like pistons and rings, and valves is 450hp. im right at the breaking point. the transmission seems to hold up aswell, but the shifting works better with apr tune, with revo it was real hard shifts. but apr has a torque management which reduces the torque right before you switch the gears. so its seamless gear switching. but honestly no issues, I figured if i blow something, ill just go forged internal to take up to 600hp, but of course that will be with a different turbo and fuel system. if the m3 isn't tuned with the right mods shouldn't be an issue. but a tuned m3 depends on the level they take it. Ive beat an old gen m3 and a new gen m3, but my buddy has his tuned stage 2 with exhaust he got me by a car and a half. im waiting for my rematch lol
Hey bro how can I send you some pictures of my build it's at the last step literally putting oil and water lines on I fabed them today,it may be running by tomorrow
Yes please send it here production@bgeminirecords.com
Can you send me a link for the 2 resonators that you bought and also the s3 fuel injectors i found some resonators but they are all different prices so I didn’t know which one would be good for that kind of power that I am trying to add and I just only found regular fuel injectors I couldn’t find the s3
Here you go bro in this video , I just did czcams.com/video/wAEtSEZ0Pp8/video.html
Thank you so much that really helped! Also what about the s3 fuel injectors I still can’t find those when I search it in google
Hey Whatsup man I got a 2006 Vw Jetta Gli in my backyard with 164k on the dash looks neglected but It still turns on and runs good this car has paddle shifters and Dual Clutch Transmission its a FSI Turbo 2.0 you think it would be worth doing something like this? the engine looks identical to yours
yes a 100% you may have the 1.8t like my b7, but you can get same numbers, and believe it are not , they have alot of big turbo upgrade options, for that year
@@brucecustommotors So mine is a 1.8? Everything says 2.0 on the engine bay
"I BEAT EM!" 🤣
💪🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, I’m a stay away from you
@@brucecustommotors repeating that over and over had me cracking up. 🤣
@@InnoV8Official 😂😂😂me too
Injectors themselves cannot give You more power unless You tune the car again and take advantage of their bigger flow ratio...
Hi bro like your video can u make one how the install a meth kit ?
Does the ko4 kit fit on most 2.0t's? I have a 2015 audi a6 2.0t looking to upgrade the turbo but don't know what route to go
yes it does go to the link in my description, revo has a k04, apr has one, cts has one, and hpa, others do to but these are the most common, they all range different prices, my link has apr
@@brucecustommotors good looks man🙌🏽 i was hesitant to get it
Does the injen intake fit a b7
Yes
I have a question I have almost same setup except im getting ready to add the Sno meth injection to my car. What do you have your APR octane setup at? Right now I constantly run 93 octane with the meth injection do you need to change it so its as though your running Cam2 racing fuel?
so I run my meth with the 100 octane map, and I run cam some times, but mostly I use boostane, which is a comparable fuel adhesive. if I'm low on race fuel, im still ok from the meth doh. but before I was running on 93 it was ok, but 100 gives you more timing, I Strat my spray at 12, and end at 25, which is around my high boost peak
@@brucecustommotors ok so you do put ur setting on the higher setting? The reason I'm asking is because APR says you can't do that. Another question my engine code is CAEB and I can't find S3 injectors to fit, where did you get them. Mine is a 09 I have APR II+ CTS K04 with 200 cell HFC IE performance intercooler, K&N air charger and AWE cat-back SS dual exhaust with quad tips. I just love the sound you have it sounds like the RS's. Is that a custom exhaust?
@@wyhsbrep here are the injectors, they changed them to these I believe in 2015

Some times people buy the older ones were the plug doesn’t fit, so be careful sometimes people mix up the year, and yeh apr told me the same thing, there really safe when it comes to tuning. Which is why they discontinued stage 2 tune. But the higher the octane the more timing you can ad. And when I had revo which is more of an aggressive tune I had my start point at 7 because it’s starts of dope aggressive, we’re as apr is conservative and builds up more. You want your starting point to be at your most aggressive boost peak so the air can atomize the meth, check out these 2 videos in these links

Bro. Help me out. How did you fix the problems oil consumption ??
czcams.com/video/NTXW6AiM_oc/video.html
@@brucecustommotors i got it. The problem is that i run 300km with 1l. That's a lot. And for changing the piston is 3000e a lot for me. I just bought it 1year ago for 10k at 116k km. What you recomend? The Catch can can solve a bit of the problem ?
Man where does one begin? I have a 2012 Avant 2.0 and thinking about going with a stage 1 tune. I’m also thinking about changing the inter cooler and cold air intake. I’ve owned the car since new, the only changes I’ve made were 3” pipes cat back, I’ve also lowered the car. My wife has a 2014 tts, I’d be happy if my car had that power. For a little while anyway.🤪
you will be surprised what a stage one tune will do, it will make you think you have a new engine in your car. my first tune was revo stage 1. one day i was driving, and a hemi charger was pulling up on me. this is when i was stock, and I pulled on him. I new at that point, I had potential. ( I was hooked) so i went all in. the only other 2 times that I noticed a significant difference, is with my water meth and k04, the rest is minimum noticeable. but with s3 injectors, and intake, you will feel more torque. So defitnetly stage 1 tune first. Ive had apr and revo, They are both similar.
Thanks so much for the reply, made an appointment to bring the 2.0 in next week for the stage 1. My wife has a 2014 tts ( I drive mostly) trying to convince her to go to a stage 1 for her car. Told her I’d pay for it🤪
Did you upgrade the fuel pump or it wasn't necessary?
Wasn’t necessary 👌👌👌
What’s the difference with the b9 2.0 to the b8 one?... notice intake is different n coil packs are different n the turbo . But I’m curious to know the details in the difference I know the b9 one pushes a bit more. I’m used to the b8 engine which I was pushing to stage 2 on Integrated engineering
Jonathan Cortes right now ie and apr has a good tune for it both about 360 hp, and close to 400 torque. It’s the same platform, and engine ,on my the engine and Ecuador is displaced a little different, so you should get the same results, they offer e85 also. Look below in the first link you can see each gen engine you have gen 3 I have gen 2, pretty much the same.
