Your First 4 Performance Mods on your Audi 3.0T

Рет қаралды 71,563

Күн бұрын

A question I see asked very often is people on the forums trying to figure out what performance mods they should purchase/install first for their 3.0T supercharged Engine. After personally giving my opinion on this matter to quite a few people via DM's on Facebook & Instagram, I decided to make this video.
This is just my Opinion of course, and you are free to modify your car as you see fit. But hopefully this lays out clearly why I think these should be your first 4 mods done to your car.

Update to this video: If you are looking for suggestions on tuning companies I would steer you to Jackal Motorsports. They have absolutely taken over and dominated the 3.0t community and their customer service is incredible. You can use discount code "Audic7owners" to save 50$ on your purchase with them as well 🤘🏼 You can also use discount code "audic7owners" to save money with MercRacing orders as well 🤘🏼

Even though I've got a B8.5 S4 instead of a C7, your videos are still a gold mine! I'm currently with an upgraded heat exchanger, stage 3 unitronic (dual pulley), CTS Turbo intake, and am looking at changing my cat setup. If I understand correctly I need to : - replace OEM cat pipes with test pipes, - get high flow cats (I've had GESi suggested but idk if you'd recommend others) in downpipes further back from the engine - later on get a catback exhaust All of it sounds quite expensive but I don't want my engine to blow up so it'll be worth it hopefully

@AudiC7Owners Жыл бұрын

My question that I haven't been able to find an answer to, for adding the down pipes, does it give your car a check engine light? Then at that point, if I went to Jackal and got a Stage 1 tune, would it "hide" the CEL? I am not worried about emissions because I am exempt where I live, I just don't want the annoyance of seeing the light on as all. Thanks for the content! Subscribed.

Having said that, you can go on the forums & read people taking about their switch from apr to IE & 034. Apr was the first to have a good tune for his engine, but then they moved on to other projects. IE & 034 and continued to support this platform. So...

There are questions in relation to the catalytic. Is your exhaust line only catalyst removed? Other than that, are you using genuine exhaust? I am currently 207mm crank using a pulley and the S6 original exhaust (60 pipes mm). Looking at the forum, I saw many users increasing the secondary catalyst line by 63mm pipes. I'm worried about the opinion that this has a bad effect on the output of Stage 2 vehicles. I wonder what you think.

I got mine from advanced auto. And yes it does. You can use vcds or obd11. We have a tutorial video on using obd11 to do it.

Can you please tell me where you got the rear diffuser from? I really need that specific model for mine (I'd love to have a plain black one instead of carbon but I can't even find this carbon one for some reason) If you could please leave a link below it'll be great. Nice car man, I really do love it! I've been following you for such a long time and I'm about to start modding mine. Much love from Romania!

Anyone tried relocating the cats? Here in Sweden it's way to much of a hassle to run testpipes, since you would have to install the cats once every year for smog tests. If it's possible to relocate the cats further down the system that would be much better for me. And I could possibly run better flowing cats aswell.

So I’m buying an Audi A7 2016 and these are the first things I’m doing to my car once I buy it! Only question is do you think it’s too early to do any of these mods at 45k miles?

Just one more question as I’m im not mechanically inclined as most yet but when it comes to removing the CAT Converter and resonator and adding test pipes should I add the down pipes? Still confused on what to add after test pipes…seems it’s more by preference but still indecisive

@AudiC7Owners Жыл бұрын

It depends on what you are trying to achieve. You only need to replace test pipes to avoid potential damage to your engine from catalytic failure. Mid pipes (commonly referred to as downpipes) aren't a necessity

Does the catalytic converter problem happen with a 2011 C6 A6? Can Auto Performance says that the test pipes you use won't fit a C6 model. I'm also noticing how hard it is to find parts for a C6, everything seems to be for a C7.

What does that do?

@nikcamaj6740 3 ай бұрын

Tightens up connection between left and right wheels. It limits the difference in tire contact between left and right wheels when turning. More/only noticeable the higher the g-force.

@nikcamaj6740 3 ай бұрын

Whether it’s an improvement or not depends on many things, especially/including driver mod, but it changes the characteristics under lateral weight transfer for sure. How much it comes into play depends on how sharp the curves are. 99% of drivers will never put it into effect but man the 034 Motorsport rear sway bar on my c7 gives me the confidence and control in corners you would only get from way more uprated sports cars.
