- I am actually surprised how fast this racechip audi a3 is. Sure it will beat most entry level hot-hatches GTI, Corsa vxr, fiesta St....
and it might not be as expensive to insure for younger drivers.

Not the fastest of cars but something more accessible for younger drivers 👌🏾 300 👍🏽 🙏🏽
That audi is bad 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have the tdi tuning chip on my mk3 Leon 150 now it’s 198 and they do work and are reliable
Isnt that birminhamg yoo come review my m135i LLF for life LOL
@@juskillz5229 shut up
Hey bro i got one of this stage 2 dsg quattro going stage 3 next year if u would like to make a vid
I have a 2.0t quattro a3 with a milltek exhaust and standard down pipe with cats removed making 270bhp on the dyno after a stage 1 remap, its basically a mk6 golf gti engine making it a good s3 alternative👍
Yep that sound like a good alternative
I’ve got a 2.0t A3 as well but just fwd, no tune but a stigan k04 turbo, cold air intake and a cat back exhaust, 6 speed mt ofc making about 230 whp
Racechip did absolutely nothing to my A3 8V, get performance panel filter, an upgraded turbo elbow and a proper remap
I agree on the insurance side of things it would be cheaper but the cost of the car is over double than like a mk5 gti, astra vxr, cupra 240 etc, but as a s3 alternative for a young driver its probably a good shout.
That’s true some people don’t like older cars tho but definitely
I owned a mk5 golf gti dsg for 7 months, even thought it had 2 owners and been well looked after. It had so many common problems and in spent 1.5k maintaining it within those 7 months.
I remapped it, put the best performance parts for a healthy stage 1 plus
And sold it for how much I bought it for ( yeah didnt grt anything back for mods)
They are lovely cars but the mpg in city is horrendous, theres always common issues because they are 10 years old now, im 20 so insurance was expensive. I wasnt able to save because most of my monthly income was going on the car
So I wouldn’t recommend owning a mk5 gti unless your funds are stable or your dads paying for it. Some insurers will insure drivers from 20 plus based on the area but most dont untill 21 and two years licence held.
Currently saving up for a 1.8 as its a newer engine
People seem to forget that when two cars are flat out you need a massive performance difference to “annihilate” another car. The Cupra has around 25 percent more power than the A3 which feels great but you still need quite a lot of road to overtake when the two cars are flat out. Doesn’t reflect badly on the cupra at all.
I’m impressed with the A3 on this, a very underestimated engine for sure.
I’ve got a mk7 GTD, remapped to 212 bhp and 490nm, if moves! A lot of torque. Keeps up with some fast 2wd petrols.
Nice to see that racechip is well secured in there 🤣
Just get a proper custom remap on a dyno from a reputable tuner. All these things do is adapt signals and fool the ECU.
jhiggaman don’t trust remaps, had a bmw 1 series tuned (new shape) by a reputable tuner and blew the engine twice so this is safer and I still have manufacture warranty on the car for 3 years
@@curlyjay2275 which reputable tuner was this?
H16SYX I put one of these racechips on my car,the ultimate connect one,you can feel the extra boost at low rpm,but if you floor it,the car breaks up and epc light comes one,I payed 600 for the sh25 to
Curlyjay 22 no reputable tuner will blow up an engine
@@curlyjay2275 Yeah, had a IE stage1 tune and blew off the exhaust turbine on the turbo at around 5k installed. Had the DSG also and never shift correctly. Buyer beware.
I've got a audi s3 2017 and ive got the racechip gts on mine. Makes a big difference
This isn’t the highest spec Racechip. This is mid range Racechip RS and there’s a Racechip GTS which is the highest spec
i have a 1.0 A3 and have it chipped ////i feel the difference and had a resonator delete. its useable power for the city and love hearing my 3cly engine scream and the turbo spooling. What these things do are suck more air in the engine making the turbo to boost higher than stock , increasing hp
Drove one the other day pretty powerful for a 1 litre engine
Good engines far as I’m aware it’s available in a few vag cars. Not many people know about the lesser performance versions even the focus you can get in a 1.5 eco boost with 180bhp
Any good?
Excellent video hunny.. Keep up the fantastic work...
Thank you really appreciate it 😘
Bro can u do a installation video?? I have now idea we’re to plug my chip In
You said standard 180bhp if you go to the race chip site it only makes a extra 24bhp not 50bhp you keep saying
Would of been nice to see more of the rolling pulls, see how the two match up. Different rolling speeds etc
I trying to not upset everyone driving crazy 😩
@@AEllis haha yeah true!
Motorway and during the night is best I think.
Tell him to get a MK7 GTI!!! Good on insurance due to the adaptive cruise control ! Not bad to run either
Same price as a cupra and cupra got more power 😁😁
Ellis biased comment from MK7 GTI owner 😂 cupra is amazing, kinda making me feel like I picked wrong choice of car LOL
Lol obviously he doesn't like the looks of a Golf. Not rocket science.
But can it pass an emissions test? Because if it can't, most likely you'll be replacing cats and O2 sensors more frequently (or heads/gaskets/possibly anything that's oiled) if it's running super lean
Car sound ruff with bonett up
I heard negative views on racing chips and other similar options e.g transmission failure on someone’s M140i stuck in gear two
Nadims one?
Carmadnab yep
I’ve got one of these currently stock insurance is only £950 an I’m 20 😛
Im 19 but getting quotes for £7000 upwards, can you help me with how you got such a low price?
@@xf7185 u still looking?
@@user-zw7dk5lk3v yh
Now you got this engine in your a4 just make sure you don't get a tuning box
I'm struggling with my theory, loool
Just keep trying you got this
Where on earth did he get that racechip box for 200.00 from??
Won’t be +50bhp, look at their website. Also it won’t be faster than an st fiesta cause it’s a heavy German boat
Mines a 1.8 sline Quattro with DSG thinking about getting a racechip myself, anyone got one for this?
D7N DD get it remapped
Your one is perfect bro, thats what im getting in couple of months, and the 1.8 is same as the s3 engine but;
Smaller displacement
Instead of 2 injectors per cylinder in the s3, the 1.8 has one
The 1.8 engines can handle 400bhp with the Quattro model
RB26 yeh mines the Quattro , is it worth upgrading to bigger injectors too with a Stage 1 map?
D7N DD nope no need,
Stage 1 230bhp nothing has to be done
Stage 2 260-280bhp you need induction kit, downpipe, intercooler
Stage 3/4 300-380 bhp you need all of stage 2 parts, including s3 fuel pump, s3 injectors and rs7 spark plugs
@@B58J don't you need the GS20 turbo for stage 2 and gs38 for the stage 3 and 4
Are gts chips not the best chip from racechip
The one that cost the most yea 🤔
That would never increase from 180 to 230 with a racechip box. Even the racechip gts that it is the top one.
can a racechip be added to the 1.4 tfsi?
Yes
Can you recommend "race chip" as s serious company. Thinking about to buy one but still not sure.
C. Sive92 yes defo
I have had another tuning box since n I would still say RaceChip is better, more aggressive Low down
I plan on getting one for my 2.0 turbo s3 good vid
How did it work out?
@@jasongreene9302 never got it, thanks for commenting, cause u reminded me, my car has been giving me a problem I just can't figure out, smh, haven't dont much to it, I keep buying new cars, a year later an I have 3 more, myb a 4th by 10 am
What's the problem your having?
Do a video like you said on car finance and loans
Lol,that is not the highest spec RaceChip. 😅
Hmm watching this and up to the point where he switches it on he's not so impressed and that's coming from someone who always overreacts 🤔
Do a video on the scooby at the start of the video looks sick
Will try 🤞🏾
Ellis nice 1 bro keep up the regular content youre doing well 👍🏽
Need more cameras but good video
I'd piss over that scooby and the a3 at the start. But nice video.
Put some more content out on your scooby akh
Ainsley Harriott all in good time.
Bro it’s around 280bhp I think and a manual did good for what it is
I’m 19 and have a e92 335i 3L straight 6 and my insurance is only £1.4k 🤷🏽♂️
how much did you buy the car for?
Your job and area have a big part to play jn your insurance aswell
You probably live in the countryside let me use your address 😂😂
Ellis Hertfordshire so yeah 😹
Hsauce 12k
How much does the insurance go up once you declare the mod?
Depends if you have modified insurance and the type of mod
Make mod don't Tell, that easy :)
REVO > CHIP
Don’t like tuning boxes shit in my experience compared to a remap
Yhyh but for warranty reasons some people do plug in
Ellis warranty then it’s different
What your postcode in brum me B8
Looked the same to me waste of money dyno or forget it
Good video should have done my 1.4 though bro bluemotion polo gti alternative
Nah this is mad
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m 20 and I’m getting a mark 5 gti next, currently owning an Audi A3 s line
What engine u got in the a3? Id rather have the a3 than the gti
Only the 2.0 TDI 170bhp version
Im 20 sold my 260bhp mk5 gti and getting a 1.8 sline lmao
If this isn't the gts version it's +42hp not 51? 🤔
Matty Anderson
I had an update for the gts version Bcuz I bought the box and it wasn’t working so they updated it
50bhp and 70flbs ?
That’s what the race chip site claims
il get my vxr out and smoke him
Loool that would be interesting 😂
Let’s go lad😂😂
Il get my m135i out and smoke all you
Little boys 😂
Jus Killz I’ll just get my bro 63 and smoke u aswell 😂
Ashen Marawat I’ll get my fiat panda and dust everyone here
2nd
First
worst motor ever. eat oil a lot. and very expensive to fix.
Young driver fast car = loss of license loss of life . Most roads in brum have speed cameras anyway so if you have 90bhp or 350 bhp you can never take the car to the limit. So save your money.
yeah the only way to race around brum is seriously dangerously, which I see about 20 times a day. If I want a blast I head out into the country and drive some proper roads.
