Re: Thinks about a S3 MTM
MTM have always seemed VERY overpriced to me, you'd be better with something like Custom Code Stage 2+, Revo Stage 2+, or Shark Stage 3 which should all see you well past 350bhp. If that's how far as you plan to take the mods, go for a DSG to save slipping the clutch (usually anything over 320-330bhp), and I'd recommmend saving for upgraded brakes too as the S3's feel a bit soft once you've got that sort of power.
If you're not after quite that level, Stage 1 maps from either company will get you to around 330 for a fraction of the MTM setup.
The 8P really suits the MTM wheels though, despite them being pretty heavy for their size.

First thing you do with an s3 is deal with the utterly crap suspension before even thinking about inproving the performance, my wife's sport back has full milly+race cats and map, goes like stink but ride is shocking IMO but I'm spoilt with the rs4
