Better safe than sorry

 

[zafturbo]

Mapped yet and why not if not

 

[Bronk]

If i map it now, there will be a new larger turbo on it by Easter knowing me

 

[Bronk]

Trying to work out who to use to map the car for when i decide to bite the bullet - every remap company you hear good reviews & bad

Currently its ARP VS REVO VS TORQUE TRONICS VS AUTO TUNE VS TDR PERFORMANCE VS CELTIC TUNING

 

[Lyons]

Revo then APR. Don’t think I’d bother with the others unless it was a 2.0TDi.

Autotune APR have done several RS3's right up to Stage 3 and have the advantage of a rolling road and some form of local support

AFAIK @KeithRobinson RS3 is Revo?? And you know my opinion on Revo

Conclusion: Revo

Speaking to autotune today about apr, told me to hold off as they think APR are lowering prices soon and usually have a black friday sale.. be interesting if true

Did Autotune mention anything about the APR stages currently available? Is it still possible to get stage 2? APR were supposed to have pulled the plug on all but stage 1 earlier in the year and their site nolonger lists the stage 2 or 2+ for the pfl model.

Another option is MRC Scotland, and they can also do the DSG map at the same time. Would be a good excuse for a weekend in Scotland once the madness calms down a bit !!

Told me stage 2 has been pulled few weeks ago due.

MRC is near £900 then take into consideration travelling costs and time.. its really hard to justify

 

[slapshot_99]

Yeh, it all adds up.

The other way to look at it is based on how long you plan to keep the car v's overall cost of tune in that context.....or is that just the man maths kicking in

Most of the guys on ASN or RSOC seem happy with either APR or Revo and at least there's some local agents should there be a problem as already mentioned.

With TVS offering their DSG flash via an at home flash tool, we now have that option available in NI (think they may offer ECU maps also but their gearbox software is where they really stand out).

 

[Deezer-D]

Not sure if there’s the home flash from Unicorn available for the RS3? I’ve their Stage 1 map on my S3

Who is TVS? Apologies im a noob with all the VAG talk lol

Unicorn

must look into them, but i reckon its going to be a toss up between ARP and REVO

 

[Boydie]

Just another tuning company who a lot of owners like their TCU (gearbox) software

I test drove a MRC Stage 2 8P RS3 and it was an absolute rocket

The likes of Revo and APR can offer all stages of ECU/TCU that work in tandem with each other

 

[Bronk]

Couple of pet hates with the car

1) The washer jets fire 2 lines of water instead of a spray

2) The interior lighting is typical yellowish oem lighting.

Seen a guy advertising audi heated spray washer jets on the RSOC facebook page

Problem number 1 sorted


Ordered white interior lighting from ebay

Problem number 2 sorted

Was out briefly this morning in the car a spin and stopped to get some fuel and seen a great photo opportunity and thought it would be rude not to

 

[Boydie]

I know we briefly talked about the washer jets but what do they plug into electrically? Do they need wired up?

Unless mine are heated already but I am not sure
