Hello! I just picked up my 2016 Mythos Black s3 yesterday. It is so fun to drive!!! It has Black Optic w/19s and mag ride, Tech package, LED light package, and Bang and Olufsen. I've already learned a lot from this site, as I anticipated pick up for over a month. Looking forward to learning more!![burnout]

Hello! Im pretty new to using forums and all this, but I drive a 2015 Audi S3 prestige and am just beginning to upgrade the performance on it!

Unfortunately I do not have any photos, but will add some soon!

The only thing I have done so far is a 93 octane stage 1 APR ECU tune! Also windows are tinted 20% on back window and 35% on fronts (4) (ks is 35% all around so i figured the 20% in the back would make it appear slightly darker yet not draw attention for a ticket)

I am currently in the process of working with my performance shop to get the following done within the next month or so:
-upgrade my ECU tune with the updated stage 1 version they came out with to take care of bugs and make it run more smoothly
-TCU transmission APR tune
-APR carbon fiber cold air intake with turbo inlet pipe and silicone coolant hose
-APR silicone boost hose kit (4 hoses) i believe
-APR intercooler
-APR turbo muffler delete
and last but not least, APR oil catch can!

I had called APR back in early December of 2015 to see when they would come out with a turbo down pipe for the AWD S3's (as they only have one for FWD A3 models) they told me early 2016 is when they project.
So as soon as they release a turbo down pipe I will be adding that in which it will also allow me to upgrade to a Stage 2 ECU tune!

This is all I currently have in the works at the moment considering money is kind of tight, but in the future does anyone have any suggestions on other upgrades?
im not too familiar with a lot of the other parts as sway bars, coilovers, struts, brake kit, etc.

also any information or help on anything I would need in order to keep my car healthy and long living would be much appreciated!!


might add a pulley on there as well....!!

Thank you guys! I look forward to being apart of the group!

Thank you guys!

Just got my car back today with all installs complete, and the TCU tune update flashed.

The car runs really nice, great power and throttle response.

Love the ECU tune and the TCU tune.

Waiting for APR to come out with their down pipe so I can also upgrade my ECU to stage 2, then ill be ready to rock and roll!

Thanks!

Hello to everyone, I bought my first Audi last week, a used S3. Coming from many years in hot hatches. VW GTI, Honda Civic Si, Subaru WRX, all great cars for the money! I'm excited to learn more about the S3 from you all!

Hi, folks. I'm a new 2016 S3 owner as of 1 week ago. It's a Prestige in Mythos Black Metallic with the sports seats package and the Black optic package. It has about every available option save some port-installed stuff like HomeLink. Thus far I'm very pleased with my choice. I traded a '12 Q5 in for it. The Q5 replaced my lovely '07 Cayman S! I've owned 38 different cars/trucks, including 7 Benzes ranging from Gwagen, S Class, SLK, to an '06 CLS500 still in the garage. The S3 looks to be a fun machine and I haven't been left at a stoplight yet!
