@RatchetWrenches from all the videos I been watching, and research I been doing. Out of all 3 major German cars, audi seems to be the best car to build by far!
I have a Sepang blue S6. I thought about bronze wheels, but wasn't sure I'd like them. I went with a light silver instead. However, they look really good on your car. That's making me re-evaluate my decision.
With 93 I’ll say you gets might get low to mid 11s with your weight and show wheels. Can’t wait to see if I’m right, on your next video. I wouldn’t worry to much about the axles with street tires! Good luck man with e85 I made 556whp and 460wtq
Awesome! I appreciate that input I’m hoping to be in that area. But yeah with my wheel setup I’m thinking you’re about accurate. We will be hitting the track up soon so we can see what this thing can do. And that’s badass man. I’m sure that felt wicked with that kind of power
@@RatchetWrenches yes it is! 0-60 in 2.79, ran a 10.38@136mph! But I have a lot of weight reduction and Hoosiers dr2 in 17” been running for a big over a year and no issues with axles yet! Knock on wood
@@MrChans_S3 that’s a solid run wow. That’s kinda the route I want to go with some smaller wheels and more track oriented tires. That’s solid tho def knock on wood haha. Are you from around here? (Nj,ny area)
@@RatchetWrenches no I’m in Texas where the heat sucks real bad 😂😂 I post a video of me gapping a TTRS 😂 for reference purposes hahahaha. I need to go up there to your state and see what the car can do!
@@MrChans_S3 ahh damn I was gonna say I’d love to check out the build in person but I can only imagine how bad the heat soak is lol. I’m sure it would be night and day difference out here for you
@@RatchetWrenches I’m proud of you man you’re consistent and this channel will be a monster before you know it! I Left that place years ago I’m a full time amazon seller. How much would you say your cat is worth with all the things you’ve done to it? That thing is a rocket
hi Bro,I I just bought a Mamba 3071 for my MK7 GTI,apparently theyre about the same size as the XL, so i really cant wait, got pretty much the same mod list, except i have the ROW, so just had to upgrade the injectors...im going with Sneekytuned, it just worked out nearly half price for 2 fuel tune...anyway, love the build bro, ill prob annoy you with more questions 😃
Stage 3 is the final stage for bolt ons. If you wanted to go to the next stage you’d have to build the motor yeah. This turbo should be good for 600hp but after that you’ll need a bigger one yep
If you hit anything in the 10s range, I'll be impressed. My bet is you will be 11-11.5 sec. You really need over 500 whp or to reduce the weight to get there consistently. I have 400 whp, and I'm not close to 10s.
I'm building a 09 Audi A4 2.0t with Norstrum injectors. Upgraded fuel pump, 83.5mm JE racing pistons, CTS big boss 600 turbo, Ward Performance tune and I'm switching to a ZF 8HP transmission putting out 28lbs of boost. I can't wait for the turbo to arrive. I'm gonna putting out above 600hp. I was gonna ask did you dyno it??
dude, OBD eleven can disable permanently traction control but no way can change your RPM launch settings. If I were you I'd get a set of 18 inch wheels before hitting the strip again...and a soft compound rubber, I've run 11.78 on IE stage 2 E30 on my first pass at 118.65 mph but again too high PSI, looking forward to go back and test again
You said you wish the sound was better. On my 09 I have a 200 cell cat with AWE performance exhaust I removed the resonator and mine sounds like a V8 maybe it's the fact you have a sideways engine versus the longitude engine. Cause mine sounds awesome. I have alot of ppl that think I have a V8 cause I took off all my badging on the back so nobody knows what it its
What’s up fellas!? Love the channel, I got an 07 mk5 GlI 2.0T FSI, literally doing pretty much everything you guys have done to the red GTI, your videos are fucking great, the carbon cleaning video and everything that was going on with the red gti were super helpful! PLEASE keep going with the MK5! Love to see what you guys do next, and if you got any weird electrical shit going on please post about that lol! You guys are best, thank you! #RatchetWrenches
Hey sorry for the late reply! But we greatly appreciate this man. We will definitely try to keep up the videos for the GTI! And luckily we haven’t had much electrical stuff going on but if we do im sure we’ll post about it! Thanks for the support 🤘
The Vortex XL is a bit too laggy for me, but if you’re looking for that type of power level, they seem to be turning out to be a decent option. Glad you’re happy with it. No just imagine it with a bit of Ethanol. 😀
You don't need it but I'd highly recommend it. You'll have more restriction with the oem one being so tiny in diameter. Get an aftermarket one for optimum results
@@RatchetWrenches2016 a3 2.0 owner here, I can pretty much push the same amount of power on stock internals right? From what I heard, the internal differences are pretty minuscule
Wheel HP. And everything from EQT's site for their stage 3 kit was close to $5.5-$6k. And that's not including the other mods we had. So if I were to take an educated guess you're looking at $7-$8k based on what this S3 had done to it
@@RatchetWrenches so stage 1 tune is all stock correct? I am looking at there website and dont see a stage 2 kit. Do i have to find those parts myself? I assume the 700$ stage 1 kit is the tune and the tuning computer i hook into my obd? If so 700$ is really cheap for so much more hp
@@thealiendfs oh hell yeah! Are you in hillsborough? Def have to meet up or something. But you should it totally transforms the car. Pricey but worth it!
@RatchetWrenches All good brother, thanks for the explanation. Think I'm just salty because my S3 doesn't push near 500hp..Only Stage 1 tune on mine. Your car is the goat man🫡 Much love from South Africa.
@@Joe-B-B hahah yeah it’s unfortunate with the burble tune. And hahaha it’s all good bro no hate or anything. But definitely go stage 2 atleast you’ll love it so much more!
Just bought my first audi, and can't wait to build mine!!! So much motivation
You’ll love it! They’re such a fun platform to build
@RatchetWrenches from all the videos I been watching, and research I been doing. Out of all 3 major German cars, audi seems to be the best car to build by far!
Same bro same
You got an S3?
CONGRATULATIONS bro
Yoooooo this car absolutely ripped! Was a total blast to ride in
Thanks man! I appreciate that, and yes next time we’ll be able to really open her up!
oh man I gotta come by and get a ride! Nice work guys, video quality is very impressive as well
also howling @wes @5:00😆
For sure! And thank you so much! But hahahah 🤣
Cant wait to see you run this at the track again!!!
Great video. I'm thinking of buying an S3 but just now started to research.
Thanks! And you definitely should they are incredible cars and have amazing potential
Just got mine 2 weeks ago and even stock i friggin love it. I want to drive it non stop lol
I have a Sepang blue S6. I thought about bronze wheels, but wasn't sure I'd like them. I went with a light silver instead.
However, they look really good on your car. That's making me re-evaluate my decision.
Thank you. Both of these colors look awesome paired with the sepang blue. It's funny because I was looking to switch to light silver 😂
i got a nano grey a3 was gonna do the rohanna bronze wheels looks great
Nice work mate, well impressed
Thank you!
Great work guys 👍,,u need to do some draggy times ,0-60,,1/4 ,,,60-130,,,
Oh yeah we definitely will!
@@RatchetWrenches Did you end up doing the draggy times? I watched the drag strip on the stage 2 but cant find it with 500hp only 400
I just came across your videos your Audi is clean asf and I subscribed
Thank you!!
@@RatchetWrenches do they still have blue Audis available?
@@kaylumkostiuk20 yes they do!

What you produce is outstanding. Bringing your buds along memorable forever.
For exhaust I would recommend a trackslag 4' catless downpipe with a xfroce valved catback exhaust
th-cam.com/video/E70Fzk12OVM/w-d-xo.html
Interesting I’ll have to check into that
@@RatchetWrenchesjust checked it out looks like a uk shop? idk doesn’t look any better than the ones ya have

That's awesome! That MK7 is gonna be fast and you'll love it. Thank you 🙏🏼anytime you got questions feel free to ask
Is this the final stage or bigger turbo forged rods next
Stage 3 is the final stage for bolt ons. If you wanted to go to the next stage you’d have to build the motor yeah. This turbo should be good for 600hp but after that you’ll need a bigger one yep
you didnt do the new engine mount and trans mount by black forest racing stage 3. i have these.
No we didn't buy those
If you hit anything in the 10s range, I'll be impressed. My bet is you will be 11-11.5 sec. You really need over 500 whp or to reduce the weight to get there consistently. I have 400 whp, and I'm not close to 10s.
Interesting okay I appreciate the input! I’m curious to see what I’ll get!

i want to see more of the outside rolling drive.
We can definitely try to get some more rolling shots

Do you pass emissions and then swap out your downpipe? ( I may or may not do the same in Colorado)
You said you wish the sound was better. On my 09 I have a 200 cell cat with AWE performance exhaust I removed the resonator and mine sounds like a V8 maybe it's the fact you have a sideways engine versus the longitude engine.

That could be a contributing factor for sure. I bet it sounds nasty! Keeps everyone on their toes, not knowing what it actually is.

Can ya'll fuck off with the GTI's lmao they are slow and crap besides the GTI 7.5 Performance only good one
The Vortex XL is a bit too laggy for me, but if you’re looking for that type of power level, they seem to be turning out to be a decent option. Glad you’re happy with it.
No just imagine it with a bit of Ethanol. 😀
They definitely are more laggy on the lower end but what it produces up top it’s so worth it! And it’d be insane I wish we had pump E85 in NJ
Try the mabotec 4 inch catless it makes the care sound completely different
I've actually heard that exhaust and it truly does change the entire exhaust pitch! May have to give it a shot
Do you need a turbo elbow for cold air intake
You don't need it but I'd highly recommend it. You'll have more restriction with the oem one being so tiny in diameter. Get an aftermarket one for optimum results
Love this content, I have a S3 8V, I follow 🤘🙂🤙
Glad you like it thanks!
i just got a 03 mach 1, and i have no idea what to do atm
I'd leave it stock and enjoy it for now
I have a question is there any issues with IE performance?? Most you guys aren’t running nothing made by them and im curious as to why
I haven't heard of any issues with them. I know other youtubers like Evan Shanks uses their parts so I'd have to assume they are quality.
You ea888 boys got it easy 🤣
Yeah we do 😂
Are y’all still on stock internals?
Yep!! So far no issues
@@RatchetWrenches2016 a3 2.0 owner here, I can pretty much push the same amount of power on stock internals right? From what I heard, the internal differences are pretty minuscule
@@anaccount7923pretty sure you can, but you’d be risking a bit because the s3 has stronger internals
@@e5disintegrate Everyone says that, but I keep hearing that the differences in internals are pretty minimal
how do you swop between tunes?
On the access port
Through the accessport i can pick which one
Stock motor??
Yep!
Is this 500hp crank or wheel and whats a guesstimate of the price to get here? Dont really need a breakdown of every item just total price
Wheel HP. And everything from EQT's site for their stage 3 kit was close to $5.5-$6k. And that's not including the other mods we had. So if I were to take an educated guess you're looking at $7-$8k based on what this S3 had done to it

time 100 / 200 km h ?
1/4 mile time?
I can’t imagine this car having even more turbo delay 😅
Bigger turbos = more lag. Just the name of the game when wanting to go faster
@@RatchetWrenches that’s where anti lag comes in
What we doing at Iron Peak???????!!!!?!???!?!?!?
Just browsing 😉
@@RatchetWrenches lol I saw you and the red Golf I was running the pathways

see if u can get rolling anti lag ;)
That would be so epic 😎
How much did cost altogether for everything?
Ahh i don't know off the top of my head but I'd have to assume around $5k probably a little more at least with everything we did
I just bought an 2017 S3
That's awesome!
lets put her against the shelby :D
