Default Audi S3 Sedan by ABT has more power then RS3

This would be fun to have.



From the article:
With the base ABT Power kit, those numbers jump to an impressive 365hp and 339 lb-ft respectively, while if you really want to even more power, there’s the ABT Power S kit that gives the S3 395hp and 354 lb-ft – that’s more than the Audi RS3 Sportback’s yet which is rated at 362hp and 343 lb-ft torque.

Always wondered why they went with the 5 cylinder instead of the 4. Seems there is huge potential from the 4... maybe reliability?

Wonder what the #'s would be on the regular A3.

I am completely happy with my APR tune and the considerable bump in HP and torque. Believe it is equal to the ABT level 1 package mentioned. Also added some Unibrace braces to stiffen up the chassis a bit more and ECS wheel spacers to push out the wheels a bit. I just absolutely love this car. ABT package sounds sweet but think one can do the same for less money.

meh. its called Stage 2 Chip and Turbo back exhaust

hypothetically, if I did it I'd probably do an APR stage 2 chip and DPs with and Eisenmann exhaust.

Fixer, have you ever posted pics of your car or your mods?

It's more or less 5k.
Which is quite interesting. I've got their Stage 1+ so far!

You know, I guess I have not. I will have to put that together. Thanks for asking.

What turbo do they use in the kit?

also- you CAN chip the 5 cylinder turbo but I've heard of terrible issues that occur when you do. **This could of been due to early software bugs***
s3 is VERY tuneable. RS3 might not be even though its turbo
in that sense the s3 could be the smarter choice.
