Needed this when I got mine in December, glad I came back around and found this. Love the build an hope for you’re next you keep up the video grind 💪

[@markooska]

@bracing4racing648 I appreciate it. Ill do my best to post more videos about the car. I just don't know what video to make since I'm not really modding anything anymore. But still gonna try and post shorts of some pulls

[@lazyie2712]

I have a 2015 a3 1.8t was was kinda bummed with the limited tuning, but after this video I have high hopes now. Thanks I’m definitely following.

[@markooska]

No problem man. I'm just as fast as a stock S3 lol.

[@justingallagher4864]

I love the wheels - I'm currently on the prowl for a set of 18s. Thinking maybe something from TSW. Car is lookin'g good, but I'd recommend some hub-centric spacers - ECS sells kits with the spacers and longer bolts, whatever seat type your wheels need. OE is ball seat, but most aftermarket I've looked at it is cone. I've had +12/17 front/rear for 2 years now, two types of OE wheels on an S3. No issues. The hubcentric is the critical part for spacing safely, and the part itself being so critical, it makes sense to avoid Ebay and whatnot for this one. But I swear you'll love the change. Again, sick wheels.

Insane! Love the video! Keep them coming!

[@vladabramciuc1607]

Sick car dude

[@Zi9makin9]

Absolut baller build man, perfect level of clean and "racey", made me look into one now xD

[@markooska]

Appreciate it man. Did my best to get every single detail

[@wacktom5739]

S3 build gonna go hard

[@markooska]

Appreciate it man. Gonna be pushing crazy!!!

[@Yu159753]

Very nice MOD. I have 2015 A3 1.8t. I did cold air intake and mod 2 chip. Feel like only get 240-250. Question did you upgrade your turbo? And how is you down pipe configuration?

[@markooska]

I have IS20 turbo from a GTI and I'm running a CTS catless downpipe with 2 resonators and a MBRP Cat back from a GTI

[@photosaucee]

🔥🔥🔥

[@BistroGlicerin3]

Looks pretty good

[@markooska]

Thanks man!

[@nicks_g20]

great video bro!

[@theonlykingclayton]

better looking jetta! looks niice

[@shoot2thrillphotography]

does your audi have an excessive oil leak problem? looking to buy an a3 but heard a lot about this problem

[@markooska]

@shoot2thrillphotography no, no bad oil leaks, just the oil pan and I fixed that myself for $40 Valve cover is the only thing that can also leak but that's way over 100k miles.

[@Insanity2nd]

wow looks sick

[@kdmtac]

I have the same car but it's a 2.0 quattro. I want to get your same wheels but in the black 18s like you had.

[@markooska]

If your car is this artic grey color. Don't. Because it doesn't look good sadly. This color gave my car life. Feels right this way.

[@kdmtac]

@markooska it's black. I just bought it and someone really keyed the car and the paint is kinda fading so I was thinking of painting it candy apple red

[@markooska]

@kdmtac okay okay. Black would work really well then for black or red. Good luck

[@knutz8401]

How did you get a dual exhaust setup? Please lmk I’ve been searching for this forever there are no dual exhaust options for fwd that I can find

[@knutz8401]

Does the gti exhaust really just fit on and it has the same path?

[@markooska]

@@knutz8401 yup. Just extend tips 3 inches longer

[@knutz8401]

@@markooska sweet man I was looking into putting that exhaust on my car but no one ever gave me a solid answer whether it fit or not, did you weld the tips on?

[@markooska]

@knutz8401 everything I did was clamped. No leaks if done correctly.

[@jameslawson2155]

Did you do the turbo swap yourself? I’m considering the same setup as you for my 1.8t a3 and wanted to know all in cost for the is20 swap and install

[@markooska]

I bought the IS20 for $150 from a GTI that had 45k miles. Took me 6 hours on a Sunday to do it myself. If you don't got time. Don't do it yourself, oil lines and coolant lines are a pain to take off. I also bought a turbo install kit for $40 to make sure all gaskets were replaced. I'm not sure how much a shop would charge. But you better have at least $1000 if you want a shop to do it. After installing turbo, you will need to do a retune to your engine. I paid $100 for a retune, and was Stage 2 which was around $550 and became stage 3 because of the turbo.

[@jameslawson2155]

@@markooska other question was did you consider going is38? Any reason you didn’t? Thanks for the response

[@markooska]

@jameslawson2155 I wouldn't. Only because you gotta upgrade fuel also which is another $1000 on top of the tune for it. Too much power for a stock block. Better to do it on a AWD 2.0 A3 to actually get the power down to the ground. Cause I spin wheels all with IS20 easily.

[@elijahwashington.6593]

Where’d you get your paddle shifters

[@markooska]

Ebay. $450 S3 steering wheel

[@brandonlopez2870]

Wanna do upgrades since I recently just got a 15 a3 1.8t. Could I get that much hp with fwd?

[@markooska]

300 hp is definitely possible with the right tuning and mods. I'm near 330 hp right now.

[@Cert.Backyardbs]

I got a 2014 passat with the same motor is the turbo swap straight bolt on? Or is it like a nonmqb to mqb swap

[@markooska]

Straight swap because it's coming from a GTI which is same engine as mine

[@matthewsmyntyna9943]

nice lil bro

[@A3_Abdul]

ive the same car ye im getting a is20 turbo and also you mentioned a resonator can you still shoot flames with the res that comes with the catless dp ?

[@markooska]

Yea ofcourse. Have you not seen my flame videos? You missing out. I'm adding another resonator today

[@markooska]

Yea I got the CTS catless downpipe.

[@A3_Abdul]

@@markooska sheesh okay bet imma get a flame map

[@chiquicat1]

Who’s funding these mods bro? I guess they’re not from a normal paying wage and by the sound of your voice and the way you talk you sound quite a young bloke. After all these mods you can afford an S3? lol

[@markooska]

@@chiquicat1 i bought all these mods in a span of 1 year and did everything outside on my driveway. I'm getting close for an S3. I'll be swapping over all my mods besides the exhaust and I'll make a video💪
