Do a search mate, there are huge amount of threads on the same topic.

with regards to this S3.  they did two outputs over the years.  Both were morepowerful than the GTI.  The lowest was 210ps, the highest 225ps.  They also remap to the same output as the GTI remaps make.

The s3 will beat you off the line all day long due to the Quattro. but they are heavy.

they run 210bhp standard (in the 1999 model) and remaped have around 255wbhp.

So a trip to your local Revo dealer will wipe the smile of said audi drivers face.

biggest initial bang for youre buck will be a remap

Look up AMD they are right by Lakeside shopping centre

Alternatively you could trade in the GTi for a 2000 S3 and spend the difference on petrol driving around essex to find the cheeky pest!!

Seriously though mate, as above, I went for a stage 1 and was blown away by the difference over standard.............but now it's time for stage 2 me thinks!!

i got a GIAC map for my edition 30... took me to 310bhp and 300 ft/lb of torque..... fun!!!!! bye bye r32s and bye bye s3's lol

[charlieboy]

thanks guy thats made me feel better lol
im gonna book it in at amd this weekend as they said they can remap it to 260/268 bhp for around the £500 mark

hopefuly this should do for now antill  i can afford a downpipe and exhaust system????

I'm no expert on these things but that figure is stage 2 territory from a K03!!    You ain't getting that from a remap alone.......

To achieve 260+bhp you are talking an Intake and a hi-flow downpipe and sport/decat.

[golfecho5]

One of the best and tested routes is a Bluefin Superchip stage 2 with Full system (sport cat) Non-Res Milltek and a fast flow filter, should give you enough to stay with the S3, should give about 260bhp, some do much better on dyno.
Any horsepower you want above this you'll need to get the ED30 turbo, cam and upgrade the fuel pump - probably just better to buy an ED30 if your going that route but it will give you an option to go 300bhp plus.

Hope that helps

You need your ears cleaning out OR they........LIED  

I'm sure my mate has those figures but hes got a full milltek and uprated fuel pump and intake.

[Janner_Sy]

thats what AMD do.  they are full of crap like that IMO of course.  tried getting me to buy a miltek cat back because it'll gain me 10hp on its own.  They say all sorts to gain custom.  Id rather go JKM were they are brutally honest about performance.  no inflated figures etc

Mmmm, not sure about Bluefin tbh, over on the Briskoda site Shark Performance is very highly thought of.
Power wise I know of a few members running 270+bhp from the K03, beyond the DP and intake, you will need a HPFP and possibly and intercooler but up to 280 bhp 300 lb/ft torque is still achievable, having said that 340 bhp is not unrealistic from the ED30.  

[golfecho5]

  people go on here to help each other out with intelligent comment not start some monkey court drama over every piece of advice  - why would I lie or be hard of hearing, these are authenticated figures not unrealistic dream bhp's plucked from the back-end of some idiot. Please think before you make silly accusations that are unfounded and uneducated - 'my friend' type arguments do not constitute fact in absolutely most circumstances so shut up.

Please read the dyno chart attached or go to www.superchips.co.uk - now go Laugh as loud as you want or LOALAYW if that makes more sense to you.

All the best
