I'm just waiting for Iroz's response to this.

Joe240 · 05-03-2018, 02:17 PM

Careful, mods will delete your post correcting the time...

GuidoK · 05-03-2018, 03:10 PM

That is some serious performance from a small 2,5L 5 banger...

M3_WC · 05-03-2018, 05:02 PM

This platform is crazy. That is 720S territory with stock motor and hybrid turbo. Insane!

FC4 · 05-03-2018, 06:01 PM

Wow...not bad at all. If only they the RS3 wasn't so frumpy looking, it would make a great beater.

It speaks volumes when you consider the F8x with an additional cylinder, turbo, 0.5L of displacement, and two fewer drive-wheels to sap power does mid-130s with equivalent modifications, let alone mid-140s.

And people still think more than one turbo per bank of cylinders is cool...

uniqueMR · 05-04-2018, 12:26 AM

Crazy. Thats fast

Mingwan · 05-04-2018, 12:43 AM

Damn, that’s quick. Looks like it can perform at that level consistently which is more impressive.

What else is done to it?

domino_z · 05-04-2018, 01:06 AM

that trap is pretty remarkable

to even just crack 140 on the r35 we needed all that with a fully built trans and front transfer

DanMpower · 05-04-2018, 01:45 AM

Dang, how much WHP is it making to trap 144?

Impressive for sure.

420Coupe · 05-04-2018, 01:52 AM

Pretty impressive! however i'd still never own an Audi.

Beater for who, Bill Gates?

How much money did the mods & labor cost? What do they run stock?

EnVe46 · 05-04-2018, 08:15 AM

This gets me even more excited the RS5 sportback. I love the looks of it and its size, its nearly perfect. Just wish we could get Avants here in the states.

3GFX · 05-04-2018, 08:19 AM

I'm not that surprised. APR is a good tuner, and that is a lot of motor that's evolved over time to be quite strong.

Website states over 600 WHP, that's it.

Total cost for this is probably around $10K I'd venture to guess.

and stock drive shafts etc it looks like. Very impressive.

Circuit Hunter · 05-04-2018, 09:49 AM

Very impressive. The car looks like crap in my opinion but they are very quick.

EDWYER · 05-04-2018, 10:18 AM

Impressive!

Richbot · 05-04-2018, 10:38 AM

Jesus, I really love these cars, What an amazing soundtrack and just the right size. And 10's at 125 in totally doable street trim with a tune and E85.

yes that is an optimal setup... tune and e85 only

TSM330i · 05-04-2018, 12:51 PM

I contacted APR and they don't have total pricing ATM.
I do however know these prices:
TTE625 Turbo - 2,100 Euro (exchange) 4200 Euro (outright)
APR Tuning will be approximately $900 - $1000
APR TCU Tuning $700
CAI $450
Intercooler System will be around $1000
Fuel System approximately $1700

So the total parts, minus the exhaust dump and wheels/tires would be approximately $7300 if you use your turbo or $9700 if you buy a new turbo and keep yours.
This would be minus labor. So, it would be realistic to get the performance for around $10K if you elect to go with your turbo.

The RS3 bases at $55K in the US. Quite a package for under $70K all said and done.
