- Its been a long time coming, but I've finally moved to stage 2+ in my Audi S3 8p.
The car was mapped by R-Tech Performance in Nuneaton, as well as come hardware mods from JL Automotive.

You aren’t wrong , that power at stage 2 is perfect. My gti was stage 2 with similar numbers and it was faster than a lot of cars that tried to play on the highway. It was fast enough.
Great video! Keep them coming.
I’ve owned my 2011 sprint blue sport back , 19k miles for 6 years too , gradually starting to do bits to it now , just gone stage 1 four months ago , yours sounds epic at stage 2 plus, nice to see someone doing vids on the 8p s3 , don’t come across very many .
Nice example, good video enjoyed it fella 👌
Welcome to The world of S3 8p ! Greetings of Perú 🇵🇪💯🤙
Good video, I've got a TTS and looking to do similar stuff to it. Keep it coming 👍
I’m also from birmingham just bought a stage 2 plus also in love with it love the content also
Super roads around Earlswood, excellent stamping ground for my red S3 @ stage 2+ running APR software. Tucked up for the winter at the moment though! Your car sounds very sporty and the DSG changes gears very quickly. Mine is a manual. Not sure if you have an intercooler. I have a Wagner and it really helps in the summer, no drop off in power.
Great video 👌👌
Saving up for once of these im glad I've found your channel great content and lovely motor any chance of a mod list ? Just for a piece of mind thanks
Mtec discs with yellow stuff pads, good for fast road use and some track use, just brought some for my stage 1 mk6 gti
On an on you go!!!
I'd recommend braided brake lines first, ferodo ds2500 pads and maybe j hook disks. If still not enough, RS3/TTRS brake kit will do you fine
Yellow stuff pads with stainless brake lines. There crazy good cold and hot. I had them on my golf and stopped instantly at 100 to point I felt sick 😂
Nicely done, just got mine to stage 2, really turn them into weapons!
Mine booked in next week, can not wait, going for 2+
@@chrisbutcher3280 Sweet, always exciting time :D
What did u do to the car to get it to stage 2? i cant find any info etc on the web..
@@adrianlarsson1127 High flow intake system, intercooler, downpipe & ECU/TCU maps.
@@Beardchanics and for stage 2+?
Smithy, love your videos mate. Let me know if you're interested in selling it anytime soon😉😂. Wish you well, stay safe bro👍.
Great video mate! Next time can you make the video is around 22 minutes I still had about 6 minutes worth of popcorn still to eat! Also regarding brakes, if you watch formula one redbull cars have great brakes might have to send them an email to find out what ones they are but I know their good!
Are you launching with traction control turned on? I heard rtech map the car with traction control, also have you thought of getting the wellycooler just to eliminate or reduce heat soak, motor will suffer in the summer, or maybe a 50/50 blend of water meth. Extra ponies especially when you get the wellycooler also, probably would be around 400 bhp mark
Traction off. Got some plans for next year for the other stuff you mentioned 👀
I have meth in my car and its additive 😆
Aup smithy, what was the biggest difference between the two in terms of how the power feels on the from going from stock to stage 1 or from stage 1 to stage 2+ ?
Went from 310BHP to 360BHP and a whole lot more torque! It’s a different car, just pulls relentlessly
Those straight line pulls were very impressive, gearshifts were incredibly quick, I'm torn between the s3 8p and tts 8j, Mrs keeps telling me to get the tts 😂
S3 all day long!
Another vote for S3, but I might be biased as I have one😀
@@CarsWithSmithy do you have a oem divertor valve or gfb+ divertor valve
@@addd2466 stock DV
You got a link for the wing mirror caps mate? Got a 2010 stage 2 manual, got EBC grooved discs with yellowstuff pads, good setup and won't break the bank (£580)
They came on the car like it! I guess you could either wrap them or get a bodyshop to paint yours 👍🏻 I was already thinking that brake setup too
Like it a lot man😎😎😎
What more would you need.
New cars are just soooo overpriced that it's dumb if you not rich
Smithy you are my Guinea pig man, I'm just saving for my s3 then I'm gonna follow your lead 😎😎😎
Did you have to get a uprated clutch on it to take it to that power mate?
It’s running stock DSG
Do you have upgraded intercooler? Or meth kit? For cooling
Stock intercooler (for now)
Damn .... So want to do this to my 8p
Can you reply with all the mods you have including exhaust and decat brand also isit resonated or non res
Check my other recent video 👍🏻 got everything listed there
@@CarsWithSmithy I got a s3 8p too mrc mapped stage 2 plus. Absolute animal but urs sounds better I think Revo air intake makes a lot off diff to the noise I have a ram air over sized I think I need to switch it up
@@addd2466 check this out czcams.com/video/E2GEpIJ6w24/video.html
Hi do you know how reliable these are at stage 2 +? I’m booked in for a stage 1 remap at r tech can’t wait but plan to go stage 2 + in the future
Never skipped a beat mate. Apart from an injector seal coming off but easily fixed.
My water pump seized up during that time but that was a part failure not down to the remap
@@CarsWithSmithy cheers for the reply mate how often do you service yours ? Do you know what torque figure it made
@@K33EEE every 12 months 👍🏻
Stage 1 torque: 327 ft lb’s
Stage 2 torque: 399 ft lb’s
Sorry for the dumb question but whats better the 1.8 or the 2.0. ?
2.0 👍🏻
Have u had the gearbox tuned?
I have since this video. I have the r tech motorsport gearbox map
@@CarsWithSmithy 💯👌👌👌👌
What’s the milage on your car mate ? Looking to go streight to stage 2 on my s3 it’s a dsg and done 97k miles don’t wana put to much strain on the engine though
89,000. A good tuner will always do mandatory engine checks prior to tuning anyway. But I’ve seen some of these engines with almost 200,000 miles running the same power
@@CarsWithSmithy cheers for that, I was thinking of going to r tech myself but heard revo is the better option plus I want the pops and bangs not overly loud though and heard r tech carnt do this
@@Suron778 you should deffo go r tech over Revo
@@CarsWithSmithy why’s that ? Just booked in with revo before I seen this reply 🙃
Just cancelled it and booked it in with r tech, cheers mate
Small world hahaha remember ‘S3 UTV’
I do remember 👍🏻😂
Looks close to one of my pals s3 8p😂 but my pal has decals at the wings and has a manual easily fkn mental the one my pal has 600bhp! I’m definitely looking at one but thinking about another rs😂
600bhp 🥶
@@CarsWithSmithy Yes mate, it honestly fly’s
Sq5 brake upgrade.....6 pots I think
Mines still standard sportback manual and it is still fast as fuck. Still feel manual is a real drivers car!
I got mine remapped to stage 2+but wasn't impressed 😕
How come 😫
Just didn't feel the power
