Supporting Mods

[Do9us]

It’s been 5 months since I bought my S3 8Y & I’m loving everything about it. I’m starting to think about mods & was wondering what would be the best supporting mods to add before I get it tuned. I can’t afford to get everything done in one go so I’ve decided that I want to add all the other bits before the remap. What should I prioritise?
I’ve heard some mods may not be good for the stock engine without the remap, is this true?

give a list of what your thinking of. so many mods out there.

my personal one i would actually do would be a larger turbo then tune it.

Yikes...Clearly we'll all have different perspectives...but a bigger turbo would void the engine warranty if its still in effect...and there's a problem called the domino effect...turbos can create a LOT of HP and torque...but the car is then asked to handle it all with the original stock setup...Clearly one key question has to be answered before you make the investment. What is it you want from the car that is not being provided? You want to go faster on the street...or the track?? If you go faster on the track you'll need to pay close attention to your brakes and probably upgrade...More power makes more heat...there probably will be cooling that needs to be added...I'm a new, stock RS3 owner so I'll defer to those who know this car better...but I Love it the way it came and will track it in stock form with a performance alignment which is a one time cheap investment...
