Hope you're good too. You will love the RS3, it is grown up Golf R, it does not have the raw feel or connectedness of a subaru but it more than makes up for it in other ways. I have both a m140i and the rs3, the rs3 is easier to drive fast and hussle along but the 140i is more exciting to drive.Haha the right car came up and it had to be done, its a 2019 opf car so it is a bit up in the air with mapping at the moment.
In my head my list of mods is:
STM downpipe
STM intercooler
forge inlet
unitronic or apr intake
I have looked at a TTE700 but there have been a few horror stories going bic turbo on a standard engine, do not fancy forging it just yet

TBH engines have let go at Stage 1 & 2 let alone 3.
Just don't get greedy with boost or ignition (and resultant torque) and you should be fine tbh, however, pushing 600bhp out of a stock engine I would suggest you're increasing risk and forging this lump is the way forward.
These OPF cars are tame compared to a non OPF car...... rip that out!

The RS3 looks amazing.
Have to agree having had two black cars in a row. I keep up the discipline with washing it properly for a while and then laziness gets the better of me. Cue repeat trips to a detailer to get the swirl marks polished out of it!

Forget the intake imo...... total waste of cash for any small gains you may see. I'm still on stock airbox at 655bhp and the inlet isn't a restriction currently.

i guess time will tell whether these clog up on cars that are used for short trips only, the dpf's are awful for that and the reason im staying clear of a diesel suv
