First Impressions Drive AUDI S3 Stage 2+ 034 Motorsports

This video is my first impressions of the 2017 Audi S3 after getting a stage 2 tune and DSG Tune from 034 Motorsports. The Car really wakes up with the stage 2 tune. Also the new downpipes lives up the exhaust note. The car even has some nice burbles now.

Your vid has inspired me to go stage 2. I've held off because of the TD1 flag but I think it is worth it. Can't wait to feel the power gains!

[@brandonbelmudes4778]

How was the longtime longevity of the stage 2 from 034? Any issues come up after using it for a while?

[@Wayloncashwillie]

I’m curious On how that transmission will hold up over time

[@power7785]

I had a 2013 gti with stage2 and regular dsg fluid and filter change it honestly never gave me a problem. The gti had the dq250 and i think the s3 also has the dq250 as well. I think regular maintance is the key with the proper dsg tune

[@WhenzLunch]

Sorry guys am I missing something here I have a 2017 pre facelift s3 8v and after a stage 1 software tune and ram air induction kit plus turbo elbow my dyno results were 363 bhp and 504nm also a stage 2 dsg tune aswell it’s frightening surely ur stage 2 is quicker than what ur dyno graph showed ??

[@1ViewerAndy_eth]

Does going stage 2 with 034 throw a check engine light? I’m currently running stage 1 ecu and tcu on my 2020 S3 and loving it. Thanks

[@colbyhall1989]

Haha I love driving Niles Canyon

[@thomaschung9310]

Love watching the clips from the gopro mounted on the sunroof.

[@coltertate3990]

I'm currently running stage I integrated with My S3. Looking too pick up the 034 stage II, one big issue I'm having is there's not that much sound clips online. Would you say those pops and cracks are pretty loud just by them self? Thanks

[@034motorsport]

We can adjust the pops and cracks to be louder or softer if you find them to be too outrageous. Ultimately it comes down to your exhaust setup

[@motorstarre]

I hope my dad will buy this car he considers to buy a etron but i dont want him to in gonna work the whole summer to give him some money for the car

[@marioa2823]

Want to tune my S3 but am putting it off due to the warranty. Any advice?

[@jfnovae]

Your apr dealer can flash back to stock for visits to the dealer then flash back. Look into lifetime membership or pay as you go.

[@aaron5222]

Live life and fuck the warranty...

How u gonna let the white stang come around u like that lol

[@utini11]

How's the power compared to the M4? I have a MK7 GTI and really want to throw an IS38 in it. I have a the APR ECU/TCU tunes and an intake, definitely transforms the car.

[@BlakesGarage]

M4 has way more power. Definitely a different beast. This feels like a turbo car where the M4 delivers big torque down low and the just keeps pulling up top.

[@phoenixlounge7656]

@@BlakesGarage I've beaten an M4 with my stage 2 s3 lol.. Can't be that much quicker

[@BlakesGarage]

@@phoenixlounge7656 around a track it is multiple seconds faster. Like almost 10 seconds faster.

[@jasonv4hese602]

are u worried about reliability after tuning? debating on tuning a s3

[@034motorsport]

We've tested our tunes on the S3/Golf R engine for years at this point, with great results and no mechanical issues. We tune the car to be as reliable as stock, with the power it deserves.

Hey how's it going Blake? New subscriber here. After watching your video for the 034 downpipe and Stage 2 I decided to do the same as well on my 2015 S3. I also deleted the resonator as well. My initial thought after downpipe was "DAMN it's way too loud!!" 034 told me it needs to break in. Was yours really loud as well? Please let me know. Thanks!

[@BlakesGarage]

Yeah really loud also. I need to weld in a resonator to quite it down a bit.

@@BlakesGarage No it doesn't 😂😂 The last year is just a overdrive gear

[@BlakesGarage]

@@phoenixlounge7656 yeah exactly to have a nice extra gear for going 90+ and getting good mpg. A car that’s designed in Germany. Should be able to cruise at 120+ while getting decent mpg. My M4 at 90 miles an hour is just barely over 2200 RPM whereas an S3 is close to 3800.

I make more power with an A3 with just a downpipe and tune 😂

[@BlakesGarage]

On the same Dyno? If you’re talking on paper that means nothing.

It's because they use a Mustang Dyno which is one of the best and true to actual wheel HP/TQ.
