TUNED AUDI S3 8L TOP SPEED RUN ends with a BIG BANG on AUTOBAHN!

[@robwiggers1457]

The owner here! This boost pipe is prone to snap or burst because of the heat and turbo pressure. The original one was breaking at the jubilee clips, so I replaced it. It did hold well but this was maybe the last push it needed to snap. Max and Martijn are great lads with even better stories to tell. Now going for a better and stronger boost hose 💨😁

[@Brunoperes_88]

Hi mate! In the past i own a VW Passat TDi 130hp with some mods(big intercooler, aluminium hose pipes with silicon conections, Garrett GTB 2260VK and of corse a remap) and that situation that happen to your car happen on my car too due the high boost pressure(2 bar), you get a jump scare due the big burst sound...😂, but my car don't turn off when that situation happens, in your S3 the car turned off when this happen...

I understand why Max said last time that you must have duct tape with you no matter where you are. So that you can fix stuff on the road, doesn't matter if it is a sunroof on the 750i or an intercooler pipe

[@brianjewell4139]

Seeing the Gauge Cluster of a B5 S4/RS4 or 8L S3, or even the UrS4/6 RS2 just takes you to peak Audi immediately and makes me forget all their flaws. The joy of AZR ripping in 6th is unmatched by the more modern Audis, and the sounds were simply epic.

noise sounded like something pressurised just burst so unlikely internal. glad it was just an intercooler pipe quick and easy fix.

I was gonna say it sounded just like a boost pipe blowing off, it will live to see another day.

[@ruialmeida5217]

That intercooler pipe is very prone to open from the high heat coming from turbo on these engines. You should put some heat wrap around the pipe. I did the same in mine, now using silicon forge brand pipe.

[@didinos]

I‘m wondering why would the car die from just an intercooler pipe.

[@ruialmeida5217]

@@didinos It can happen. The engine reads x amount of air at the maf sensor. With one pipe open that amount of air is incorrect and the engine runs with an incorrect afr that can cause engine stall. But anyway, it is possible to run the engine in some cases

[@didinos]

@@ruialmeida5217 i understand, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

Nice run man.

[@Paulb2386]

I used to have 1 of these. Best car i owned, wish i kept a hold of it. When i got mine remapped plus other mods i took it for a test drive and found it had no power over 4k revs. Checked it all over and found the OEM air intake pipe was collapsing in on itself with the extra power demand (was the only pipe i hadn’t yet changed) Once i changed it over to a forge silicone one it was a beast.

[@danr8194]

Yep, mine done the same. Turbo coming on boost when tuned caused the TIP to collapse under vacuum. A silicone TIP with bigger diameter solved it with a bonus much louder air recirculation blow off noise.

[@karlsanderson8127]

Yep i bought one for my wife to learn to drive in have when she past her test 😂

Absolute mint car it was even quicker than my blobeye wrx which wasn't a slow car either we regretted part ex the s3 we only got 700 quid for we was the 12th owners 5 engines in it the previous engine was a fully forged one but my mate took it out and built a ghetto engine out other parts he had from different 1.8t apx bottom end agu head stage 2 ecu and other stuff he had lying around

This reminds me of a test I watched on a german car TV show many many years ago (20?). AFAIR they had an M bmw, an AMG (or Brabus) and a RS6 (I think).. during the high speed test something in the Audi exploded and it ended with a big bang too. dont remember what it was, I knew almost nothing about cars back then..

[@Killawife]

Lol! This happened on my Urs4 all the time. Eventually I got another intercooler and I got rid of the issues as it always popped of at the same place, even with an aftermarket hose.

[@terroristiristo]

Familiar place for hose to fail and got lucky it was just that 😅 I had a Forge's pipe there, but it never handled the heat as it bursted at the first track day. Put an rather expensive OEM one back in (red, lined with Nomex?) and it has held in for years. My S3 8L is running a 3" exhaust, k&n panel filter and a ecu flash, should make around 260 hp from the MAF readings.

Same thing happened with my Audi TT on the Autobahn. Unfortunately the bang was not the charge pipe but the engine.

Boost pipe popped off 100%. I had this issue when mine was hitting 30 psi on mine. New clamps and never had an issue since. Edit: watched the whole video and confirmed the same issue😂

[@MrPeterle33]

AUDI!! 2 Times can drive fast and than you can get this to the carnage😂

[@dennismundt7378]

Thanks for the video. The “S3” was already one class above the “A3”. At that time, the car was delivered with all-wheel drive, torque limitation to protect the drives and high performance. Back then there was the best of the best. I don't understand why that's not enough for people? Then people should look at “ABT” and buy a car there. If it were untuned, it would be fully throttle-proof and insensitive to "BIG BANG and silence".

[@Lengmooser]

oh i know that moment when the boost pipe comes off. i had it in the first week after i build my engine thank good just a few hundred meter from my house. but the second time i was drifting mountain roads in the winter and the hose flew off in the middle of nowhere. i tried to fix it but i couldnt get more than 300m befor it flew off again. had to call an friend of mine to tow me to my garage but in the meantime my battery died on me. it was -8C outside my girlfriend in the car and no heating. gotta say that was a cold 30min wait until my friend got to me. i changed my rubber hose with welded stainless steal piping. now its holding the 1.7bar of boos like a champ

[@dimitri4383]

blijft mooiste model A3 wat mij betreft

[@gilsonrogeriolimaoliveira2807]

So, just a boost pipe. Couldn't the engine be started, and run as N/A, just to not have to be towed?

can happen all the time, last thing i had was poped open freshly new exhaust manifold, in the middle of the ElbTunnel car was loud as a tank but want go any faster that 60km/h and near at home it got comeplet off and engine was goind 100% spitfire wanted to bbq everything^^
