The forged 20s are boat anchors that weigh over 27lbs each. And the pirrellis suck.

We went with 19” neuspeed rse 102s in gloss black with oem audi gloss black center caps to match, dropped 22lbs of unsprung weight and the 255/35/19 series tires are worlds better than the oem 255/30/20s. Tires are Michelin ps4s, later we’ll move to sport cup 2s since it’s a track car. Neuspeed wheels have a long history of race proven reliability and the prices are very reasonable.

Apr has their apr plus tunes which are 91 octane stage one and come with a 4 year power train warranty thru them, (since oem is voided). One of the local Audi dealerships here is looking into becoming an apr dealer too, so something to think about.

Btw, audi post diesel gate has a hard on for voiding warranty’s for tuning, anyone who tells you you can get away with it is wrong, pay to play if you go that route. They do a deep scan and send it to Germany whenever they have a question about warranty coverage.

If you decide to do lowering springs, there are plenty of options that are designed to be compatible with the mag ride

Check out 034 Motorsports, I’m a big fan of their suspension stuff, ran it on our old s3 and will be doing so again with our tt rs.

Just to let you know what we’re working with stock in case you haven’t looked into it yet...

0-60: 3.2 sec (with oem 19” wheels); 3.4 sec with oem 20’s

1/4 mile: 11.5 - 11.7 time slip verified, the faster times are in the fall, slower in summer, it’s a turbo car after all and not all tracks are equally well prepped.

Stage 1 93 octane tune: (tune only, zero parts modded)

0-60: 3.1

1/4 mile: 10.9 at 124 mph this is with the heavy 20” wheels

Stage 2 93 octane tune: (includes tune ecu and tcu, ic, hfc dp, cai, stock cbe)

1/4 mile: 10.6 at iirc 126ish

Stage 1 e85:

1/4 mile: 10.4 don’t recall trap speed.

Stage 2 e85:

1/4 mile: 10.0- 10.1 don’t recall trap speed.


Stage III hybrid turbo setups run mid 9’s and stage III BT (full frame big turbo) we’re cracking into the 8’s last I checked about 6 months ago, haven’t been keeping up with my Audi info too well recently. Check out Iroz Motorsports they’re really pushing the boundaries on this platform. It’s this decades GTR, only way cheaper to mod.

Stock power:

Hp: 400 (394 for ‘19+ :-) )
Tq: 354
/\ these stock numbers are on 91 octane. On 93 octane, it’s 438 hp and 380ish tq.

Stage 1 93 octane gets you 505 hp and 480ish tq

Stage 2 93 octane gets you around 560 hp can’t recall tq numbers

E85 stage 1 is around 93 octane stage 2 numbers and e85 stage 2 is 580sh iirc.

The stock fuel pump/injectors are good to about 560-580 hp.

The stage III hybrid turbo setups are maxed out around 750 hp due to egt temp issues caused by restrictive stock sized dp. On the BT kits, they already at 1000hp or knocking on the door last I checked.

The stock engine and trans have proven to be good to about 700 - 750 hp, beyond that, time o crack them open and throw parts at them. Trans only needs clutch packs so far tho, at least as of 6 months ago.
