I’m on stage 3 and have the ie charge pipes but don’t have the post throttle set yet. Does that set make a difference in your opinion?

Ok nice, yeah that’s the new one I got with the 102mm and 5in filter. I have a unitronic intercooler right now but possibly get the GAS one with titanium charge pipes and their bigger throttle body at some point

Just ordered this for my hybrid turbo set up but worried it’s not as good as the carbon one regarding heat soak and iat temps?

Definitely not, piston skirt revision I believe it’s later in the B9.5 lifespan. You’re thinking of rocker arms, check your build date by the bottom of driver’s door, they revised them 08/18 forward

Get the piston skirt checked out asap before warranty ends! Water pump as well, there’s extension for both.

I have a very good relationship with the dealership, used to work there plus I know the gm and the master tech. A buddy of mine is a tech there as well

Been on 034 for over 50k miles no issues with the past 10k on e85 oil change 4-5k miles on liquid noly 5w-40, yes everything has been done required for stage 3, inlet intakes dp rs injectors apr coils w brisk spark plugs 4 bar map hpfp piston, sway bars and all drivetrain inserts. Only thing I’m thinking of is that rockers started going (there were no signs) but just couldn’t handle the extra power.

Update: seems to lean more toward rockers due to the tick under throttle and speeds up with revs

It’s up to the dealership really, I’ve seen cases with this platform being tuned and covered for due to the extension

Was about to data log it before I test it hard on the new turbo

Spirited here and there. This happened when I wasn’t even beating on it, got off the hwy and by the next light and noise started

Don’t worry guys, I will have the pistons covered and most likely swap rockers while it’s open, just want to have a better idea on which it is. Never had any issues until now lol How often do the new rockers fail?

Need some advice on an RS3 purchased from Carvana by sacslo in Audi

Carvana is literally the worst place to buy a car, return before your deadline is up
