Hi All,

Just saying hello to everyone

Proud new owner of an 2007 plate audi s3

Estoril Navy Blue

Black & cream leather seats

Flat bottom steering wheel

dealer fitted  new clutch & DMF for me

Gave it a haldex oil and filter service

Few hours giving it a clean but not given it a good seeing to yet lol

Lovely S3 always wanted one but due to only being 3 doors can't go for one now unless it's the 5 door model which at the mo is way out of my budget!

I thought yud be on audi-sport.net  :signLOL:

But welcome all the same  :smiley: nice car wanted one but way out of budget for me too and it'd have to be a 5door for family use as well as modding.

Went out and got my car dyno'd at midlands vw as well as an oil swap to millers nanotech

270  bhp.... happy with a good solid 270 at standard

Does anyone know the standard boost requested for an s3 BHZ engine?

Currently logging specified & actual boost logs at 1.25 bar which sounds about right for stock but my MAF readings are high 230 g/s =s  any advice?
