Revealing Our Big Turbo 500 HP Audi S3!

[@chrisrodgers429]

Just bought my first audi, and can't wait to build mine!!! So much motivation

[@RatchetWrenches]

You’ll love it! They’re such a fun platform to build

[@chrisrodgers429]

@RatchetWrenches from all the videos I been watching, and research I been doing. Out of all 3 major German cars, audi seems to be the best car to build by far!

[@Railroad1204]

Same bro same

[@claudiopena2629]

You got an S3?

[@codyquann2609]

CONGRATULATIONS bro

[@TMC8477]

oh man I gotta come by and get a ride! Nice work guys, video quality is very impressive as well also howling @wes @5:00😆

[@RatchetWrenches]

For sure! And thank you so much! But hahahah 🤣

[@Sleeper_Solutions]

Yoooooo this car absolutely ripped! Was a total blast to ride in

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks man! I appreciate that, and yes next time we’ll be able to really open her up!

[@chrisrodgers429]

Cant wait to see you run this at the track again!!!

[@Icebergslim333]

Great video. I'm thinking of buying an S3 but just now started to research.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks! And you definitely should they are incredible cars and have amazing potential

[@makoshark40]

Just got mine 2 weeks ago and even stock i friggin love it. I want to drive it non stop lol

[@thunderch1ck3en]

I have a Sepang blue S6. I thought about bronze wheels, but wasn't sure I'd like them. I went with a light silver instead. However, they look really good on your car. That's making me re-evaluate my decision.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thank you. Both of these colors look awesome paired with the sepang blue. It's funny because I was looking to switch to light silver 😂

[@bassfishing71]

i got a nano grey a3 was gonna do the rohanna bronze wheels looks great

[@agg25gga]

Nice work mate, well impressed

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thank you!

[@josmat621]

For exhaust I would recommend a trackslag 4' catless downpipe with a xfroce valved catback exhaust

[@RatchetWrenches]

Oh yeah we definitely will!

[@Scott-ub7eb]

@@RatchetWrenches Did you end up doing the draggy times? I watched the drag strip on the stage 2 but cant find it with 500hp only 400

[@MrChans_S3]

With 93 I’ll say you gets might get low to mid 11s with your weight and show wheels. Can’t wait to see if I’m right, on your next video. I wouldn’t worry to much about the axles with street tires! Good luck man with e85 I made 556whp and 460wtq

[@RatchetWrenches]

Awesome! I appreciate that input I’m hoping to be in that area. But yeah with my wheel setup I’m thinking you’re about accurate. We will be hitting the track up soon so we can see what this thing can do. And that’s badass man. I’m sure that felt wicked with that kind of power

[@MrChans_S3]

@@RatchetWrenches yes it is! 0-60 in 2.79, ran a 10.38@136mph! But I have a lot of weight reduction and Hoosiers dr2 in 17” been running for a big over a year and no issues with axles yet! Knock on wood

[@RatchetWrenches]

@@MrChans_S3 that’s a solid run wow. That’s kinda the route I want to go with some smaller wheels and more track oriented tires. That’s solid tho def knock on wood haha. Are you from around here? (Nj,ny area)

@@RatchetWrenches I’m proud of you man you’re consistent and this channel will be a monster before you know it! I Left that place years ago I’m a full time amazon seller. How much would you say your cat is worth with all the things you’ve done to it? That thing is a rocket

[@runrideread]

What you produce is outstanding. Bringing your buds along memorable forever.

[@oooooo3231]

you didnt do the new engine mount and trans mount by black forest racing stage 3. i have these.

[@RatchetWrenches]

No we didn't buy those

[@MichaelM...TandTribs]

hi Bro,I I just bought a Mamba 3071 for my MK7 GTI,apparently theyre about the same size as the XL, so i really cant wait, got pretty much the same mod list, except i have the ROW, so just had to upgrade the injectors...im going with Sneekytuned, it just worked out nearly half price for 2 fuel tune...anyway, love the build bro, ill prob annoy you with more questions 😃

[@RatchetWrenches]

That's awesome! That MK7 is gonna be fast and you'll love it. Thank you 🙏🏼anytime you got questions feel free to ask

[@aaronlive1541]

Is this the final stage or bigger turbo forged rods next

[@RatchetWrenches]

Stage 3 is the final stage for bolt ons. If you wanted to go to the next stage you’d have to build the motor yeah. This turbo should be good for 600hp but after that you’ll need a bigger one yep

[@oooooo3231]

i want to see more of the outside rolling drive.

[@RatchetWrenches]

We can definitely try to get some more rolling shots

[@brandongioeli6076]

Try the mabotec 4 inch catless it makes the care sound completely different

[@RatchetWrenches]

I've actually heard that exhaust and it truly does change the entire exhaust pitch! May have to give it a shot

[@alessiocentritto]

dude, OBD eleven can disable permanently traction control but no way can change your RPM launch settings. If I were you I'd get a set of 18 inch wheels before hitting the strip again...and a soft compound rubber, I've run 11.78 on IE stage 2 E30 on my first pass at 118.65 mph but again too high PSI, looking forward to go back and test again

[@chuckbaye478]

I'm building a 09 Audi A4 2.0t with Norstrum injectors. Upgraded fuel pump, 83.5mm JE racing pistons, CTS big boss 600 turbo, Ward Performance tune and I'm switching to a ZF 8HP transmission putting out 28lbs of boost. I can't wait for the turbo to arrive. I'm gonna putting out above 600hp. I was gonna ask did you dyno it??

[@almaadams3631]

Do you pass emissions and then swap out your downpipe? ( I may or may not do the same in Colorado)

[@Svgbtw4]

Yooo just found your Chanel and I have a question since I just got my car, I have an Audi a4 2.0l tt 2015 but I don’t know if it’s worth it to get any mods and from where do you recommend cause I’m kinda on a budget since I don’t really work and I’m in school, Main question is do you think it’s worth it to get a cold air intake or anything at all?

[@dominicpowell3867]

Do you need a turbo elbow for cold air intake

[@RatchetWrenches]

You don't need it but I'd highly recommend it. You'll have more restriction with the oem one being so tiny in diameter. Get an aftermarket one for optimum results

[@chuckbaye478]

You said you wish the sound was better. On my 09 I have a 200 cell cat with AWE performance exhaust I removed the resonator and mine sounds like a V8 maybe it's the fact you have a sideways engine versus the longitude engine. Cause mine sounds awesome. I have alot of ppl that think I have a V8 cause I took off all my badging on the back so nobody knows what it its

[@RatchetWrenches]

That could be a contributing factor for sure. I bet it sounds nasty! Keeps everyone on their toes, not knowing what it actually is.

[@jaybeatz8171]

i just got a 03 mach 1, and i have no idea what to do atm

[@RatchetWrenches]

I'd leave it stock and enjoy it for now

[@8mat627]

how do you swop between tunes?

[@josmat621]

On the access port

[@RatchetWrenches]

Through the accessport i can pick which one

[@ju-exhaust8316]

time 100 / 200 km h ?

[@Life-of-a-prince]

I have a question is there any issues with IE performance?? Most you guys aren’t running nothing made by them and im curious as to why

[@RatchetWrenches]

I haven't heard of any issues with them. I know other youtubers like Evan Shanks uses their parts so I'd have to assume they are quality.

[@jmitch4625]

What’s up fellas!? Love the channel, I got an 07 mk5 GlI 2.0T FSI, literally doing pretty much everything you guys have done to the red GTI, your videos are fucking great, the carbon cleaning video and everything that was going on with the red gti were super helpful! PLEASE keep going with the MK5! Love to see what you guys do next, and if you got any weird electrical shit going on please post about that lol! You guys are best, thank you! #RatchetWrenches

[@RatchetWrenches]

Hey sorry for the late reply! But we greatly appreciate this man. We will definitely try to keep up the videos for the GTI! And luckily we haven’t had much electrical stuff going on but if we do im sure we’ll post about it! Thanks for the support 🤘

[@Alvaroesquivia]

1/4 mile time?

[@christopherhanlon4690]

If you hit anything in the 10s range, I'll be impressed. My bet is you will be 11-11.5 sec. You really need over 500 whp or to reduce the weight to get there consistently. I have 400 whp, and I'm not close to 10s.

Interesting okay I appreciate the input! I’m curious to see what I’ll get!

[@makoshark40]

Is this 500hp crank or wheel and whats a guesstimate of the price to get here? Dont really need a breakdown of every item just total price

[@RatchetWrenches]

Wheel HP. And everything from EQT's site for their stage 3 kit was close to $5.5-$6k. And that's not including the other mods we had. So if I were to take an educated guess you're looking at $7-$8k based on what this S3 had done to it

[@makoshark40]

@@RatchetWrenches so stage 1 tune is all stock correct? I am looking at there website and dont see a stage 2 kit. Do i have to find those parts myself? I assume the 700$ stage 1 kit is the tune and the tuning computer i hook into my obd? If so 700$ is really cheap for so much more hp

[@thirdeyecalm2994]

How much did cost altogether for everything?

[@RatchetWrenches]

Ahh i don't know off the top of my head but I'd have to assume around $5k probably a little more at least with everything we did

[@huggystate5737]

The Vortex XL is a bit too laggy for me, but if you’re looking for that type of power level, they seem to be turning out to be a decent option. Glad you’re happy with it. No just imagine it with a bit of Ethanol. 😀

[@RatchetWrenches]

They definitely are more laggy on the lower end but what it produces up top it’s so worth it! And it’d be insane I wish we had pump E85 in NJ
