WOW That's stunning!

How are you mate? I'm really loving these RS3's at the moment. Just got the wife a brand new Golf R estate and I'm really into it, amazing cars. Can see myself in an RS3 after I finish the Subaru to be honest.

I am very well thanks for asking BPR :) 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 :lol1:

It does look great in that video.
Personally, I would never have another black car, they're a total pain in the ass to keep clean.

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.

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! :D

All good thanks mate.

These things produce some amazing power in stock form with a few mods. Graph looks nice. Bet you can't wait to have a play in it now.

All good dude, hope you and family are keeping well too.

Romain did come highly recommended, looking into forging the engine next and cranking the boost haha
