Regards to the spoiler - I personally used 3M VHB 5952F to secure my lip spoiler on my 5 Series. It's litrally the best tape I've used to secure it. I recommend using that before splashing the cash on anything else.

The intercooler is one of my most over looked mods on my MK7. But when I’ve hit the track and see other cars tap out I remember why I got it 😅

[@AdeReeves]

Often wondered if i should chnage mine on the S3 ... interesting ....

[@N1NJAKIDD]

Hi Ade, I put a Wagner Tuning Intercooler on my S3 8p and it made a difference, especially when tuned to Stg2+. It's weird watching my intake temps when flooring it and the temps are going downwards. I do have water meth as well but turn it off to see the effect of the IC on temps

[@TheCinderellaman10]

around 450 I reckon but all depends on the limit of the continental turbo

[@PapiAndrey]

And this is without any e85, that made a pretty big difference on the evo motor in the rs3. I think this turbo should have high 400’s in it all things considered

[@darylhuxley3825]

Put a exhaust on your golf r

[@muaazawan2022]

Hamza dont sell this nd the m5 both amazing cars much love from me ur doing amazing

[@C7afik]

TNF should sponsor this guy

[@RichLion]

Interesting engineering decision to put the FMIC behind the A/C condensor. Normally the other way around, would make more sense to do it this way, especially in a performance car. RS3 has it directly at the front, as do Mitubishi Evos and countless others. If it works it works I guess.

[@KasamS]

There are fmic form the mqb but they're not as big as the mid ones so a factory fit upgrade is best for performance as seen on mk7 platform

[@TXZRO]

Damn I need to get my Audi s3 one. EQT stage 2 E85 with stock intercooler.

[@mqbr22]

So it gained all that extra horsepower with out any changes to the tune? All from the intercooler?

[@tyranic1]

Temperatures are a lot lower with a intercooler fitted so you can map higher boost on the turbo.

[@TRHamza]

Yes no adjustment to the tune in this video. Just hardware change

[@tyranic1]

@@TRHamza maybe the ecu can adapt to the low temps, the same way you can feel the power drop through heat soak. I'm no expert just trying to use some logic. We don't know what VW have programmed into the ECU. It takes into account a whole lot of variables.

[@mqbr22]

@@tyranic1 I see what you are saying but just wanted to see if actual adjustments have been made. He said no but I’m sure the ECU does stuff on its own or it just benefits from colder inlet temps

[@AP77432]

​@@mqbr22all cars have IAT sensods and very wide ecu tables of temperature differences and fuel corrections. Actually tune is never needed, because cars ecu can perfectly compensate in real time without any high delay of lag or etc. Even if IAT shows only few celsius, its in ecu tables :p

[@tsmforever4250]

It would be interesting to know how much of a hit to fuel economy over stock all these performance mods cause...

[@KasamS]

Probably increases it stage 1 are known for an increase in mpg and the intercooler providing more dense air will also make it more efficient thus increasing mpg.

[@pauldavies7251]

I had a stage 1 & mpg actually improved, I'm at stage 2 now can still achieve 40mpg on the motorway but about 12mpg on A&B roads 🤣🙈
