Edition 30 - what first ?
illyun:
Oh, almost forgot... get the exhaust first - you won't regret it :happy2: I don't have direct experience of APR, but their hardware seems overpriced to me... the intercooler comes to mind - almost the same as the S3 one but over twice the price and its not even the best one on the market. I am not sure how their exhaust price compares to Milltek and Blueflame though... I have seen/heard Blueflame on MatEd30's car at Santa Pod earlier this year and it sounded and looked very nice.
I went with Milltek due to their long history extensive experience with VAG cars. :happy2:

But Robin you become a fanboy of certain companies and then defend them to the death only stopping short of getting there tattoo on your back, often when there is no justification. You get free products from Milltek, this alone makes your defending them lose all its integrity, whether you have a valid case or not.

....There you go again - Making assumptions about me "getting free products" - In fact the "free" parts are all replacements of parts which have needed replacement and are testament to the aftersales customer support and product guarantees which Milltek give!!

Every time some one posts a slight complaint about them you start your spiel which i guess would infuriate the person with the problem.

....I'm sorry if that's the way you continue to insist on interpreting my posts.
Didn't you bother to read what I highlit in blue?

Whether you can contact them for Steve or not, this does not detract from their poor customer service in this case.
So whatever you contrive to defend them the fact is they have not bothered to reply to him. :smiley:

....Agreed, and poor customer service to a fellow forum member (and I like to think friend) is exactly why I bothered to offer to help (read my blue statement again please).
Illyun's reply #14 says it perfectly. And if I tell you that Milltek have had some serious server problems in recent months (emails lost etc), I expect you'll just accuse me of defending them. FFS, man, if you want to get results/responses, ditch your fancy expectations and communicate by every medium you can - Email, web, phone, visit on a show stand, it really doesn't matter two figs. The rest is up to you.
:smiley: [No hard feelings in this exchange btw]
GTIjames:
you could try going straight to a stage 2+ software just buy a HPFP and update the software seems to be working a treat for this chap with an s3, not had exhaust or intake done...

Very nicely written original post by warrencox in that link, James :happy2:
I wonder what changes there would be if he now did add a performance exhaust and intake.
BeezerDiesel:
Warren spends a bit of time over on cupranet where I've been a member for many years, and I have a lot of time for the guy although I don't personally know him. Deffo got some common sense!
When I spoke to Kev Hall at REVO some years ago when they had their mk5 GTI demo car he said that when they developed the first (stage 1) map they used the stock exhaust then went to Milltek to get a full TBE system put on. This gave a lower peak torque figure but a much flatter (and earlier peaking) torque map and a higher top end. I know things have moved on somewhat since 2005 but I reckon the same will hold true, particularly with the HPFP boosting the midrange a bit more too.
