These will always be awesome cars and the platform is amazing too. Kudos to you for continuing to push it

I think this is my favorite Audi on the internet and a humble dude as well

For what it's worth... I have a 2015 running e85 stage 2 /dsg tune by IE, and have tried to do any other non required mods I could to help protect it, a fear of mine is blowing it up, so far no real issues (little stuff pops up along the way as I've done the work myself), at 112k miles now, put over 30k of those myself, probably at least 5k miles since going to e85, have been daily driving and probably 30-40% of the time driving it like I stole it. Very very happy with the platform, once you open it up the car feels amazing, highly recommend, just have in the back of your mind something COULD happen (backup transportation is a GREAT idea lol)

Thanks for sharing you journey and I really love this platform as well,, my favorite yet. I also daily my S3, for two years now, I put about 25K miles on it year, Im at 45K and I have not even had one check engine light come on, I just have basic bolt ons , stage 1 ECU/TCU (034 motorsports), which is an exceptional tune TBH, very underrated. I don't plan on going past stage 2 because I drive my S3 so much, Im looking to hit over 200K in the distant future. I drive my car hard, but don't beat on it if you know what I mean. Its also worth noting the EA888 Gen 3 in the S3/Golf R are not the same as the standard 2.0 T in the A3 Quattro, TTS, A4, etc, The S3 engine has an upgraded cylinder head, ( aluminum silicon alloy) which holds up better to the thermal stress upgraded rods and pistons, upgraded exhaust valves, exhaust camshaft, better piston cooling jets, higher flow HPI's, upgraded main radiator, gray cast iron crankcase.

I can agree, I have the same setup and daily drive mine . 10k+ miles on the vortex xl with 0 issues.

I don’t know if you remember me but I finally got a ‘19 S3! I love it stock so far, it is my daily driver and it still has warranty but after I finish college I’ll probably start modding it! I’ll be watching your vids for inspiration though!!!!

Stock fuel line is super beefy, love it

@herkermerhomolka3603

sometimes its dumb luck too. I bought a 2014 GTI in 2015 with 7,000 miles on it and immediately got an APR stage 1 tune done. Did all the maintenance at the proper times, rarely drove it hard, 80% all highway miles (90 mile commute to work) and the turbo blew at like 90,000 miles. Luckily I opted for the 100,000 warranty and got a brand new turbo system riiiiiight before the warranty ran out lol. I think I'll drive this until it rusts out or blows up then check out an S3, S4 or maybe even an S5

This cars are great, I daily my S3, year and a half and over 20k on my mid 400 hp Vortex, car is sitting at 83k and the only issue was the suction pump on the gas tank, besides that maintenance, I touch 31lbs in a daily basis.

@melvingrimes7886

I am a Audi guy but also love my Toyotas and every time I here some one say big turbo I kind of just laugh it off. My sc300 with a 76mm turbo is what I consider big turbo lol.
