- Do you want to know how easy it is to get 500HP+ from your Facelift 8V RS3?
The EVO 2 EA855 equipped Facelift 8V RS3 has incredible tuning potential, with a small selection of bolt-on upgrades and our stage 2 ECU software a substantial performance increase can be enjoyed with a huge increase in horsepower and torque.
This customers goal was for 500HP, and we achieved just that and a little more with the help of our friends at Forge Motorsport for the intercooler and intake parts and Milltek Sport for the downpipe.
We installed the Forge Motorsport Intake Pipe & Turbo Inlet Hose which fully de-restricts the intake, the intake pipe having a 19mm increase in outer diameter and the turbo inlet hose having 60% more volume which fully de-restricts the intake path, allowing the turbo to work more effectively vs. stock.
At the same time we installed the Forge Motorsport intercooler which replaces the hugely restrictive stock item which struggles at stock or stage 1 boost levels. The Forge intercooler has 55% more surface area and 94% more volume to keep charge temps consistently cool for optimum horsepower and torque and better resistance to heatsoak.
After the intercooler we installed the Milltek Sport downpipe with sports cat. This replaces the hugely restrictive factory downpipe and cat which is a huge bottleneck, with the Milltek downpipe in place back-pressure is reduced which helps the turbo to perform more effectively and drops EGTs. This mates up to the factory Sports Exhaust perfectly.
After the upgrades we installed the RSS Stage 2 ECU software which is custom to the car and optimised fuelling, ignition, boost and many other maps inside the ECU to improve horsepower, torque and driveability with the upgrades installed. At the same time the customer opted to install the RSS DSG Software too which optimises the DSG clamping pressure, torque limits and many other maps inside the DSG mechatronic to improve driveability, reduce shift times and eliminated clutch slip related to the factory DSG software.
Unfortunately on this vehicle, we do not have a baseline graph to draw upon for a comparison as it was done in a different gear. Therefore, we can only compare the peak gains and not the gains in the rev range. In the future, we will make this doesn't happen.
🔴 Baseline Output: 398HP & 383lbfts
🟢 Peak gains = 118HP & 194lbfts
🟢 Max output = 516HP & 577lbfts

Sounds just the way it should...Thank god no awful 'pops and bangs' map on this.
Just pure 5 cylinder goodness!
Excellent work!
Thank you ❤️ Factory sports exhaust with a sports cat is the one! We can do pops and bangs for those that want it but for most the factory pops and bangs is enough!
I enjoy watching your videos. You do great work !
Thank you ❤️
That tourqe is absolutely savage!!!
It’s HUGE! Absolutely lovely upgrade package with just a couple of bolt ons and software. Awesome cars!
I thought my 5 pot focus rs had a lot at 400blft 😂😂😂 that must be absolutely epic
Haha! Extra cylinder, but more capacity and a HUGE factory turbo helps a lot
I've recently replaced my 2020 rs3 with downpipes decat gpf delete and I can confirm the waste gate rattle is bad cold start and low rpms, But my car sound insane now! would be interested with sports cat would mute the rattle a little as you mentioned, though think some companies are sorting this viaMaps now too. sweet video.
Thanks for the comment! They do sure sound awesome with everything removed but the wastegate rattle does annoy most people which is why we mention it.
Now that is a gain in bhp and tq cheers steve
Thanks Steve! Mega gains to be had with these EVO engines!
@@RegalAutosport is it from 2017 onwards? cheers steve👍
Yes! Facelifts and saloons 🙏
@@RegalAutosport cool thanks looking change my rs in April and the rs3 with these mods is the way to go cheers steve 👍
Nice!! You’ll love it. You can also do a diff on these and other handling bits to make it handle on rails. Power and torque increases are EASY!
Great video guys!
Cheers lads 🥰
Could you install a miltej down pipe without cats? Would this pass an MOT? Great video would love to see more content like this 👍🏻
Changing any of the emission control systems is an MOT failure
Did you have to cut away any plastic off the bumper
Wen installing Intercooler so more air can can get to it...?? Askin 4 a friend thx you...👍🏿
Nope! No mods like this with the forge IC we fitted on this car
Does the s5 b9 & rs3 have the same power potential when tuned ? if no, why sir ? Great vid.
Completely different engines and setups, the RS3 has a much larger turbo from the factory so the potential on a stock turbo is far higher.
Completely different cars though and drive completely differently for a completely different experience.
Looking to go for this exact set up. What do you charge?
Hey James, thanks for the comment. For this setup, please contact a performance specialist using the contact info in the description and they will be able to provide all of the information.
Anyone know what wheels these are? I can see they're OZ Racing but what kind
Sorry, we did not record this.
I thought APR stopped their stage 2?
They did, this is ‘RSS’ which stands for ‘regal signature series’ and is our in-house software brand
What would this cost as a fitted package?

Is stage 2 safe on these cars? What’s the limit on this engine before internals start to give?
'is stage 2 safe' - what do you mean by that?
People have issues with rods bending and breaking around 700lbfts, some have had issues lower, and some not had problems at all.
If you're worried about engine longevity, the route we'd recommend is either staying stock or upgrading the engine internals. Which is actually what this customer is going for now, as we are installing the TTE777!
How do you think it will be reliability wise?
This is quite a common upgrade path worldwide and reliability is solid but never guaranteed. When we map any car, we only tune it to where the ECU is happy e.g. no knock, good EGTs, reasonable duty cycle etc and leave headroom for non ideal conditions.
@@RegalAutosport what do all those words actually mean? Can you make a video about how you do tuning in general etc. Cheers 👍
Thanks for the suggestion! We’re onboarding an additional content creator ASAP, so we can go more in-depth with content + shoot more as there’s still a lot we don’t shoot due to time.
For now, here’s some definitions;
ECU = electronic control unit (generally engine, but it can be anything)
EGT = exhaust gas temperature (this can be actual values at various points but also an ECU model 😧)
Knock = uncontrolled combustion (generally creating an additional flame front which causes engine damage through various different things like piston crowns and bearings)
Duty cycle = calculated value that represents how much something is being used (if a turbo is at 100% duty cycle it is generally being used 100%)
Those are some general definitions with some general terms of to help bring you up to speed. We will for sure do a more specific video in the future 🙌
@@RegalAutosport thank you so much! Sub'd
Eyyy thank you 🥰
very low if thats crank horsepower
Thanks for your input
