OEM Audi › Intercooler

gsvr 31 Dec 2017, 14:10

Rating 4.0

Power:

Audi s3 / golf r intercooler is a significant upgrade over the stock mk6 set up.. it has more cooling fins , it's also deeper and wider holding roughly 30% more volume of air.. were our stock intercooler weighs around 7lb stock s3 weighs almost 20lb because has much more cooling fins and thicker fins for a better dissipation of heat.. It's perfect upgrade for stock or stage 1 ,2 but not worth while after stage 2 because to much heat.. Like any intercooler as with s3 it's doesn't add hp but keeps power constant, with oem after few spirited runs it tends to heat soak and pulling power back resulting in 10-20hp loss.. The 10-15 reviews I've read every single one said it's a great upgrade and very noticeable and kept power constant w/o heat soak on stage 1 and few even did it on stock cars saying helped , I attribute this to a 30% more volume of air it's holding vs the own intercooler.

Pros: great upgrade, noticeable difference

Cons: not worth after stage 2

EBC › Brake pads

Rating 4.0

Dust:

Mine were equally grooved, if not more so. The stock pads have a high metal content and this eats away at the rotors. I recently changed my front rotors and pads for Stoptech Slotted + EBC red ceramic pads. Rotors are noticeably higher quality, and the pads are pretty good as well, though they dust considerably more than my stock ones did.

Pros: rotors higher quality, pads pretty good

Cons: pads dust considerably more

Mann › Cabin filter

BSedgeNYC 25 Nov 2017, 17:43

Rating 5.0

Odor:

What finally seemed to help was replacing the cabin air filter (did myself in 3/2017) with one of the MANN charcoal filters (FP26 009 "Frecious Plus"). Perhaps this was just coincidental, but we have not experienced the problem since changing the filter.

Pros: solved fuel odor, effective filtration

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Part number: FP 26-009

Sachs › Clutch kit

Engagement smoothness:
Noise:

I did some extensive research and found the Sachs stage 2 SMF kit. SMFs handle the higher RPM shifts better and holds up to 530nm. You will notice that although the pedal is stiffer, you have more feel. The lighter flywheel makes the engine rev quicker and becomes far more responsive. Of course, you are dropping a significant amount of rotating mass, so your car will accelerate slightly quicker. Yes, it is a little more expensive, and it does sound a little diesely at idle, but if you actually drive the car, it isn't even a question in my mind. I have had mine for around 30k miles, and it still grabs HARD with a stage 1+ APR tune. I ordered mine straight from Germany.

Pros: handles high RPM shifts, holds high torque, more feel, quicker revs, responsive, accelerates quicker

Cons: stiffer pedal, diesely sound at idle, more expensive

Sachs › Clutch kit

Engagement smoothness:
Noise:

I went with the Sachs SRE Clutch kit with Sachs DMF. The clutch kit is claimed to hold 400ft/lbs of tq. It added a little stiffness over the stock clutch which is exactly what I wanted and it holds stage 2 power very well. The shifts are smooth like the stock clutch and there is no added noise with the DMF.

Pros: holds high torque, smooth shifts, no added noise

Dust:

OK lets stir it up. I have a 2017 R and like many of you the dust on the front brakes was awful. So I decided to get EBC REDS. Great pad very low dust (still some) but bedding them in probably like most was a puss on reak in.

Pros: very low dust, great pad

Cons: bedding them in
