thanks man! i'll def do more POV and you're going to love the s3, i'm hyped for you to get it

This vid just popped popped up in my recommended again but I am picking up my audio s3 this Saturday and I cannot wait

​@cameronrogers4265 did you get the S3? I picked up a 2016 S3 with only 55K miles on it.

love the nano grey, you won’t regret stage 1 though, you’ll wish you did it sooner haha thanks for watching!

I got a 2020 a3 with IE stage one and it’s super different and very worth it! The powerband is much wider and fun to drive. I need to get on the TCU tune but just the ecu tune is fun !

@@kerwinvergara3335 the tcu tune makes the driving experience even better, def worth it!

that's what the issue ended up being haha, and that's sick man! the mbrp sounds great, my plan is to stick with the stock exhaust with the ie downpipe, but i'm planning on getting a vibrant resonator installed this saturday to cut down the rasp/drone at higher rpm

no problem, thanks for watching!

thanks man! i ended up going stage 2 a few days after this video 😁 just subbed btw, love the rs3!

@@JayChesterman awesome man! thanks for checking it out. Yes it has been very fun!(my background was in the A3 a few years ago) amazing cars!

i'm stage 2 with IE now but i think this is probably where i'll stop in terms of power the upgrade from stage 2 to stage 3 seems too costly for the extra performance, and i'd also definitely wear the car down faster with that extra power 😂

@SpookyS3 yeah ! True my car is full bolt on with 128000 miles and it runs great.

I just went stage 2 on my mk7 golf r.. thing fkn rips!

It’s by a company called peak design, it’s an amazing mount! I actually have an unboxing and review I’m hoping to post up tomorrow

there’s no dumb questions, you keep on the gas though, thanks for watching!

It’s by a company called Peak design, I’ve got a video reviewing it on my channel with the Amazon link, congrats on the car btw, you’re going to love it!

hey man! i'm not sure to be honest, i think it also depends on what you're aiming to achieve by getting swapping stock inlet out for the bigger one. i had purchased the inlet and the intake and installed them at the same time so i'm not sure how much of a difference just the inlet would make, i've read on forums that it does increase the induction sound and there's some slight improvement to throttle response though!

I got the black Audi rings and black s3 rear badge on a site called iGroundAuto - I also purchased the RS style grill from them, and the black s3 for the grilled was from eBay

thanks, I'm checking it out now. I have the same colour and year as yours and always wanted to do black badges and logo. was the grill too hard to install?@@JayChesterman

@@brunosilva6827 np! iGround is a Canadian site so it may be better to find a vendor in the states if that's where you're based. I had the grill installed by the local vw/audi shop that i have my other work done at, i've got the ACC sensor on the grill and it needed to be relocated a bit in order to line up with the opening for it in the new grill, which required a bit of work. If you have the ACC sensor there's a good chance it'll need to be shifted up in order to linen up properly, and if you move the sensor there's a chance it'll throw a code and require recalibration by Audi if you want it to function. I got lucky and mine didn't require it and was working fine after the move. If you don't have the ACC sensor, the install shouldn't be too terrible but you do need to remove the front bumper, there's a bunch of videos on youtube that cover the process pretty well!

@@brunosilva6827I think Audi sells those

thanks man! and you’ll love the car for sure, hyped for you!

@@JayChesterman thanks bro! I am very excited. Keep up the posts, love watching your channel.

get the 2017 and up trust

@@Ev.Blendsthe digital dash is such a game changer

It’s by a company called Peak Design, they offer a wireless charging version as well but I don’t have wireless CarPlay so it wasn’t worth the extra money, I actually filmed an unboxing/install video but haven’t gotten around to putting it up yet

amazing phone mount if you have a MagSafe iPhone though!

It actually ended up just needing the coolant topped off, I had a slow leak from a coolant hose that I had installed with my IE intake a while back, I had fixed the leak but the coolant was just low enough that it was tripping the sensor periodically as the coolant expanded/contracted. Thanks for the tip though! I’ll keep it in mind if I have it happen in the future.

I used this one: www.ebay.ca/itm/315199863539?itmmeta=01HV29G1TZEKVXN5R1C9JF4XX8&hash=item4963603af3:g:FJkAAOSwBidl5Y6V&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8OTBcXCPksKX6llu%2F6nQ25XZYIbuiDfETFWkI97iD6qKXbnVashPpmLj0LiNhsJuAJfrB3FSXrsiNx5m5ZzqMWenu9MengzQ747q%2Bqiuoo9c9TJfmuWwH2U87kXrg75vycgUxACYIilJgbpLgjApBFvK3Bu5R3pqDImPILjxw1Mf5VIvxnzvpdYWAZ7ErZGAUvd96WAP9AciLb4i4aM1C6i5JRhzBGJIuddkBGWp7hvn4udnP4bsHT6xL2CyuT2lR8Za0LRMq5vFw%2Fem5mYuxN6Dv27U01JiXtIrIFzgbGTpYIzn70FZOLjhS%2Bs7tJugTQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8idwMnYYw as long as you get that style you should be good, it looks like you can get them on Etsy as well - i will say it was a bit of a pain in the ass to get it in place but i hasn't budged since i put it on

can ;you install this without removing the whole bumper/grille? @@JayChesterman

99% of my driving is in-town (almost never on the highway) and my long term consumption is sitting at 12.7L/100km right now You can definitely drive the car economically and will get great mileage if you’re doing highway driving

yeah I’m using hub rings and no issues at all! I ran them all summer last season and will be getting them back on in a few weeks

@@JayChesterman Im always a big hesitant with hub rigs but I really like the look of these wheels and, like you, the roads where I live are kind of bad and I want to downsize to 18s as much as I like the 19 rotors that came on my S3. Did you notice a difference when you downsized?

@@glubibobi yeah I noticed a big difference, i also went with a way meatier tire though, 245/40 the fitment is perfect though at this offset and tire with the stock suspension, I was thinking of doing springs initially but I’m happy with how it sits on the summer wheels

@@JayChesterman love a meaty tire seat up. My S3 is Daytona grey and I’m thinking of doing the bronze. Looking forward to it!

@@glubibobi you won’t regret it!

S3 and A4 have different engines, the S3 has the same engine as the A3 but with a larger turbo, S3 and Golf R have the same engine and turbo though, and are more or less the same car

​@@JayChestermanits pretty much same engine audi just has it position logitudionaly. Difference in hp is prob mostly tuning. Theres so many versions of this ea888 engine in pretty much everything vw/audi makes

@@JayChesterman kinda late reply, but i was looking into that engine thing between a3 and s3, theres actually many differences between two of 2.0 tfsi engines in a3 and s3 all the way from different cylinder heads to higher pressure injectors and other stuff. That's what i read on one of the audi forums because i was interested. Sick car tho :)

@@framey9703 thanks for the info man! that being said it does seem like the a3 engine holds up decently well with a tune, but i'd wonder if more of them blow while tuned on average vs s3's

yeah! it's the Integrated Engineering PowerLink app, you get access to it when you tune with IE

exhaust was stock here with a resonator delete, by far the best budget exhaust setup for a stock or stage 1

yeah it does but it’s minimal, especially in comparison to my previous car (2019 2SS 1LE Camaro)

Stage 2 on the A3 is an amazing car! switch path is on my wish list as well eventually haha thanks for watching!

yeah, the 18x8.5 +35 wheels and 245/40 tires sit really nice, I’m going to stick with stock suspension because the roads here aren’t the greatest and I daily it

I’m a web developer, but I’m also 36 so I’m not young 😄

@@JayChesterman 36 isn’t old tho, absolutely sick build. It’s not over the top just right!

@@a1xarify114 thanks man! My goal for the build is to keep it as minimalistic as possible 🙌

yeah that’s a great car at stage 1 for sure!

Specs after stage 1?

A3 handles better and cheaper

Nah

What year

this video has the most views of all my videos so far 😆

I’ll try to get it done Sunday! I’ve been a bit distracted by enjoying stage 2 so much 😂

Stage 1 comparison video is up! I just published it so it'll take a bit for the hd version
