Well today was the day that my local dealer here in Holland reprogrammed my ECU with the Revo program.

I was very nervous cause it was the first car to be revo'd by him, even me i could not sleep last night, i thought what should happen if windows crashed when it was in program mode, should i ever start my car again ?

Well everything went ok, and within 15 min. everything was ready, so i went for a short test drive .

already at first gear i could notice that my car was willing to pull very hard, so after a short warmup i decided to give more gas, and yes there is a big amount of torgue and power, my first reaction was WOW !!!.
i think the most gain is between 1500-4500 rpm

after my short test i went back to my dealer and we changed also the standard Valve with an Bonalume Valve.

well back again for testing, the first thing i noticed is after putting the turbo alive and releasing the gas the valve give a nice sound ( like pffffffffffffff ) even in the short time i drove my S3 with the new valve i thought that it was more faster than with the standard vale !!

Althoug it is my first day with the revo code, all i can say is that i will have a good sleep tonight.

setting is Low-Boost 9 ( standard revo setting i assume )

kriszty welcome here and congratulations on your tuning

i hope you are very happy with it.

Can you get 98RON fuel there?

Hi guys,

thxs for all the replies, yep here in holland i can choose between 95 or 98 octan ( i think in england that is optimax ? ) i always use the 98 octan fuel, even before i get chipped. [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So do you plan any other mods?

the car is already lowered with sport springs by H+R, the only mod what i want to do more is replacing the front brake disc with an original audi disc and drilled it, together with the brembo calipers and pads.

Cool, welcome and feel free to ask questions! [img]images/graemlins/s3addict.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

nice idea, brembo brakes on audi callipers, has anyone else tried this?

i thought the seat cupra R has a simular brake system, my local dealer said that the original disc from the audi S3 are very good, he uses these discs and drill holes in it , than use the brembo calipers and pads, it's much cheaper than a complete brembo brake-set.

greetings, kriszty

Kriszty, I have a new brembo caliper/disc set up on my car for £650 which uses 324x28mm discs - however I wasn't aware that there was a brembo caliper set to fit with the standard S3/TT disc size (312mmX24 iirc) - maybe these brembo calipers your dealer wants to use are from the ibiza cupra R which uses a smaller disc/caliper?

hi sita,

does this mean it is not good ? what i have to look for ?

txs, kriszty

hello kriszty,
good to see some people from holland over here.
I´,ve a question...does your garage drill those dicss themselves??
Other thing....is there a audi s club or so in Holland???

Hi kriszty,

due to the weight of your car (mine is 1460kg), the smaller caliper/discs from the Ibiza Cupra R may not be up to the job - as a minimum, you need to be using standard size S3 discs, or upgrade to the Brembo caliper from the Leon Cupra R which uses the larger 324x28mm discs or even consider the bigger Porsche/Movit upgrade route which are considered to be the best by many people on here.

However, after having a good discussion with someone last night, brake longevity seems to be affected by the way people drive their cars and brake application style, as well as allowing the discs/pads to warm up and cool down sufficiently.

So your new set up wont last long
