LOVE, love, love the videos, Adam- thank you so much for doing them! I'm just starting to take baby steps w/ my RS3 (Uni Stg 1) and your content makes it a lot easier trying to plan my path forward. Keep up the great work and please clone Kyle! lol
The wastegate looked much more linear before the mods. Are you going to have it adjusted or the tune adjusted to compensate? How did boost look? If it's opening and then having to reclose like it did you might have actually lost some power.
Noo why did you do the unitronic intake like that I would gladly trade my CTS intake which is a open design for the beautiful uni intake😂😂 . Jk anyways beautiful setup can't wait to see the dyno video and more racing next year when the nasty weather is gone 👍👍
Forge has this already and everything fits perfectly without cutting. Also there are several different springs for different levels of boost you are in so this wasn`t anything new I would say?
If you’re wastegate duty cycle is pegged at 100% why wouldn’t you just raise your wastegate crack pressure/pre load? Or use a stiffer spring on the wastegate actuator
You certainly could but I am using OTS tuning from Unitronic. I don't want to mess with the actual turbo itself. Plus if I touch anything on the turbo itself TTE won't warranty it if it fails
Nice video Adam, any advice on resealing the oil sump ok rs3, got new one new screws, for 3rd time and still damp on rh rear corner, not leaking but it just doesn’t seal well, I’ve seen yours is bone dry, maybe a better sealeant can sort the issue 🤦♂️
@@VancityAudi so there’s no solution or fix for that, think the upper sump is not machined well and the sealeant doesn’t adhere enough to make that perfect seal, thanks Adam and all the best, one of the my favourite channels with loads of informative videos 💪 keep the good work
@@VancityAudi Thanks for the answer. Fe you need to know that this is not normal. He didn’t do this smoking for years, only a few years later…. something went wrong in the car….
Hi, I have cts mid pipes and unitronic catted down-pipe only. Should I go with unitronic stage 1+ map or stage 2 map? Also what 1/4 mile times should I be looking at with lighter wheels and pilot sport cup 2’s? Thanks
As soon as you upgrade your downpipe you are now Stage 2. You need to get an intercooler on that thing ASAP though as that is needed to keep your car running properly on Stage 2. 1/4 mile times will vary on a ton of different things
@@VancityAudi thanks, will add the ic asap. This is such a great/underrated platform, so glad I got it instead of a gtr or bmw Supra😮 please check out my vids as well. I own a vinyl wrap shop but post my rs3 mod progression as well.
Seems like it huh? You have to look at the big picture though. If my wastegate was fully shut or nearly fully shut before and I have always been slightly short of my target boost, this has now enabled me to more than likely hit my target boost now and in turn make more power which ultimately helps me go even faster. It's all in the small details which add more and more to the car to go faster and faster. For most I imagine this might not be worth it. For the people that want to get every last drop of performance out of their RS3's... hell yes
Always love watching your vids!
Thanks for watching!

The tune will stay the same. The boost looked stronger than ever.

I'm not reinventing the wheel here, no. I'm just trying to make my system as efficient as possible in hopes of increasing flow and making more power.
now of course the question is did you make the system more efficient from the TTE inlet, or the larger intercooler piping to the TB ;)
Sadly, that will be impossible to tell

Anyway, nice video and review as always :) .
Thank you
Just remember it rhymes with Kyle your awesome mechanic. "Tile" - great stuff, now lose some weight by ditching the sunroof.
One step at a time...
Keen to share the items used to plug the orginal Dv wiring?... Resistor used etc?
Sadly I don't even know! I went to pick up the materials for the custom pipes Kyle made and I wasn't there for when he made the resistor.

We've removed the sealant and resealed my oil pan twice. They are notorious for leaking on this platform.

@@dan5pot thanks for watching. From what I have seen it's the design of the pan. The sealant going around the bolts doesn't create a perfect seal.
so what really made the difference? throttle inlet or cold side piping?
I'm gonna say a little bit of column A and little bit of column B
This is why I installed the VTT silicon charge pipes. Easier.
If I did that, I would be supporting a company owned by an unprofessional, childish, cruel and rude individual. I'll pass, thank you.
Adam, any word on when TTE will release this product?
You'd have to reach out to TTE
Hy
The front of the car is not smoked in the rain? At every stop in winter, the front of the car starts to smoke. Do you know anything about this?
Yes, my RS3 used to have lots of steam pour out of the hood on rainy, cold days when i daily drove it. It was nothing to worry about.
@@VancityAudi
Thanks for the answer.
Fe you need to know that this is not normal. He didn’t do this smoking for years, only a few years later…. something went wrong in the car….
Hey how much boost you make with that WG closed at 99% and the TTE 777 please ?
I don't openly share that info but I've left some Easter Eggs in some of my videos if you can find them

upgrade the turbo inlet to 4" as well
Seems like a lot of work for a 2% decrease in duty cycle?
Either way always enjoy watching your videos though brotha!

why not vent to atmosphere ?
Because I'm not a ricer, lol
Mischien beter de aluminium buis zuiver maken aan de rand de bramen bijvoorbeeld 😆
That crinkle black lol
I think it’s pronounced like Tile, that’s how I’ve always known it
Thanks!
