Dam....Smithy ent playin

Very informative, excellent 👍 I liked the way u broke it down and explained each component.

Just changed from a Miltek system to the Cobra and the noise alone is worth it. As you say, very easy to live with in town and cruising, plenty of noise on throttle. Measured my Miltek at 2.75" vs the full 3" of the Cobra so expecting a gain when I go back for an actuator and tweek with Niki :)

Mr smithy, thank you for your information. I watch a lot of U.K. car builds and no one Iv seen is open about the money side of thing. Even a car enthusiast Iv alway been so what nervous about the money side of thing when it comes to tuning so many thanks for your information on your car journey so far very much appreciated.

Just be glad you don't have a manual, it was £1500 alone just to an uprated Helix clutch. I'm still on my journey to Stg 2+, I got nearly everything now. Just waiting to get the Cobra cat back and a Wagner intercooler. I also installed water meth myself, I'm really trying to get as close as I can to 400bhp. Great vid tho, not seen any videos that explain the costs to get to stg 2+ on the EA113 TFSI platform

Well worth it in my opinion my friend has a mk2 Leon cupra r stage 2+ without a uprated front mount and rs4 fuel return valve and he made 377bhp. Mapped by r tech he wouldn't go anywhere else with these engines

Very thorough overview man 👍 if you ever find yourself in leeds and need an exhaust i know a brilliant shop that does custom fabrication exhausts to your spec 👍 much cheaper than branded prices as well mate

Excellent video mate, all the info I was after!

I have an ED30 myself and looking to go 2+. I go to Josh as well for all my mechanical work, he's the best around! What were the figures your car made?

Decent video and nice car, good results there without the Intercooler. Taking my S3 to S2+ at the moment. Am running the BCS Powervalve WRC Race Cat exhaust, Racingline CAI and a few other bits on stock at the moment but will be going Stage2+ with Intercooler HPFP etc soon. Found your videos useful for sure. That Cobra system sounds really decent. Much better than the millteks. Would like to see it in person and see how it compares to the BCS system on mine. S3 owners car meet perhaps 😄 Liking the exterior mods you've done. Everything except the Stage2+ RTech sticker 🙈 sorry man but that's gotta go. Otherwise mint. Decent channel.

Thank you for the comprehensive guide mate, seriously considering it for mine now... Where on earth did you get a full Cobra exhaust for £895 though? Direct from Cobra it's over £1100 for a decat!

Mint mate mine going there soon and also my car is your cars twin literally same colour the lot 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great video that mate, fancy a race friday? Meet you at maccies in ma Roddy Denger! Hold tyt Alan

Awesome job mate, very helpful, keep it up cheers

Looks nice mate. I've got 1 and love it! Only stage 1 at the mo but going 2 soon

Excellent video, to the point! Well done

Great vid mate. Looking to get a similar set up soon. Keep up the content 👍

Thanks for this video mate. I'm looking to get my rocco r remapped to stage 2 plus as well (believe the 8p has the same engine?) Prices are looking a lot more rough these days 😂. Where did you find that exhaust for 895? From my understanding you need a full turbo back exhaust and not just a cat back? (Not sure entirely on this part but r-tech list full high flow exhaust). That comes in around almost 1600 for the cobra system for my rocco so may as well go with the power valve system. I've totalled up stage 2 for myself and coming in at just over 3100. That's including the remap from r tech which is now priced on there website at 570 for the remap and they also price 350 for dsg cal but offer discount if you get both at the same time, I priced total 3181 that's without dsg cal included from r tech and fitting pretty much all parts myself, if I included labour likely to be even more. I know this video was 3 years ago just mad how much stage 2 plus costs now.

Great overview 👍

good video bro, subbed

Hi Smithy love the channel, just wondered with a stage one can u get it done without mods ?

Is BHP different in the UK than Aus/USA? Over in Aus, BHP is power measured at the flywheel why WHP or just HP is power measured at the wheels via a Dyno taking transmission etc loss.

1 grand extra for Intercooler set up, i wouldnt bother like yourself. Exhaust sounds is perfect not too dronish.

Good video sir...bet that first drive made you smile....

Can anyone explain why over run can possibly hurt the engine thanks

Another great vid , very helpful and informative, I've a a3 2010, 5 dr 1.9 TDI, e sport, any advice and ideas about mapping mine . Thankyou

How you doing pal what are your plans for the s3 next

Nice video mate im hoping to get my s3 in at r tech next week or two for same mods and stage + too, is yours manual or dsg mate ?

Hi mate, what needs to be done to go just to stage 2?

Did the dsg need mapping at the same time? What tune can you get without the hpfp

Have you got aircon?

im down the road from you got a 2009 dsg, booked in at rtec in feb for stage 1 be intresting to compare to yours?!

Do you still have the S3? Any ideas of selling it?

I'm thinking of getting the other half one of these s3s, after a stage 1 how is the fuel efficiency affected from stock and what can you expect from a stage 2 normal driving mpg?

How would I get the heat shield for the intake what it called?

Question you might know mate... I'm already stage 2, could I bolt on a VIS HPFP without having to get the map tweaked? Mapped by APR, who don't do stage 2 anymore!

What kinda intercooler you priced up for 1K!? Wellycooler setup supplied and fitted by rtech is only £550 🤣 it’s not about the BHP gains either it’s about the safety of being able to run 360bhp all year round summer or winter AIT’s on that engine in summer will be nasty 🥴

Where can you buy the r-tech stage 2 kit ?

Wellycooler, fit yourself and will cost £250

Size alloys/tires you got onit?

have you done any handling mods ?

What rims are they?

Why don’t you ask them your self

pretty sure Rtech reccomend the BCS the most
