Advice needed on Chipping a 2008 S3

[TSS]

I’ve just bought a 2008 S3 and would like to get a bit more power out of it. Can anybody advise the best company to Chip it? I’m fairly local to Revo and Superchips so they’d probably be my first points of call.

And would it be necessary to change anything else? I read on another forum that the standard clutch would not last well with increased power. But I would have thought that a 10-15% power increase would not cause any huge issues as long as it was programmed to deliver power in a linear way?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks,

Revo or APR.

I'm about to go the APR route on mine after looking at options.

The standard clutch will be fine and will take the extra power.

Have just had my 2009 S3 remapped at JBS Autodesigns. Now around 300BHP. Was about £360 Next step is a Milltek exhaust which is £1000 fitted. There will be no problem with the clutch.
They can take it to 350 BHP !!! But that's another ballgame, and too expensive for me.

Amd Technik or MTM.

Thanks for the replies. It seems like everybody has a different recommendation. Can you guys say why one tuner is better than another?

Thanks, TSS

I think MTM are the leaders for VAG tuning development.

Jabbasport ( Peterborough ) not too far away. Established years ago and have a very good reputation.

They've been tuning / remapping forced induction VAG cars for longer than most ( G40/G60 supercharger experts )and understand 'oilly' tuning as well as air fuel maps on a laptop. Good value for a full live remap too.

I prefer the map used by APR - much more OEM than GIAC, for example. Revo is similar to APR.
