Many have questioned why the 4.0 TFSI V8 seemed limited in certain applications. Some felt the cooling system was a bottleneck and others felt the intake was a bottleneck. Either way SRM (Silly Rabbit Motorsport) is pushing the 4.0 TFSI to the next level across multiple applications. ...Published on 12-10-2018 07:10 PM
In a drag race, traction off the line is everything. If you want to improve your elapsed time you need to improve your 60 foot or short time. The rule of thumb is that every tenth the 60 foot is reduce results in a two tenth reduction in the 1/4 mile elapsed time. ...Published on 12-03-2018 10:52 AM
You might say an 11.4 @ 119 in the 1/4 mile pretty quick but once you put the RS5 in context, it's underwhelming. This 1/4 mile sprint is just a tinge quicker than a stock F80 M3 let alone a Competition version. ...Published on 11-29-2018 11:55 AM
This race is fairly predictable as the car that gains the least amount of weight from dropping its top is the McLaren 570S. Which also happens to be the lightest coupe to begin with and the fastest of this quartet. ...Published on 11-28-2018 04:05 AM
Great numbers here from Eurocharged getting getting huge numbers out of the factory 2.5 TFSI turbocharger. This Audi 8V RS3 sedan is modified with a downpipe, upgraded FMIC (front mount intercooler), and methanol injection. ...Published on 11-28-2018 01:44 AM
Automotive magazines are not what they used to be and today survive predominantly on their established relationships with automakers. Many of those automakers are not afraid to abuse those relationships as the magazines are dependent on exclusive content to stay relevant. ...Published on 11-21-2018 10:11 PM
The last time we saw the next generation C8 Audi RS7 was during Nurburgring testing early in the year. The latest test mule is a bit more fleshed out with the RS Audi style grille as well as flared fenders. ...Published on 11-21-2018 12:42 AM
Remember last month when a MKIII Audi TT-RS with this same Unitronic ECU and TCU software package ran 10.1 @ 133.31? Well, it's just shy of propelling the 2.5 TFSI into the 9's on the factory turbo as this Audi RS3 sedan shows. ...Published on 11-16-2018 10:01 PM
This is pretty impressive when you take into account how much work it takes to produce upgrades for modern German vehicles. Well, not everyone has this kind of scanning hardware or engineering development and this is what sets APR apart. ...Published on 11-16-2018 08:32 PM
Audi made a lot of new fans when they announced they would shove a twin turbocharged 5.2 liter V10 under the hood of the C6 generation RS6. They made a lot of enemies when they decided not to send the super sedan to the United States. ...Published on 11-14-2018 07:31 PM
The IS38 turbocharger is the factory VAG turbo on the MKVII Volkswagen Golf R as well as the Audi S3 2.0 TFSI. DBV2 Sport Imports modified the IS38 turbocharger calling it a V2 IS38 and the result is extremely impressive. ...Published on 11-14-2018 06:31 PM
This is great news for 4.0 TFSI V8 enthusiasts. Imagine you have a C7 S6 and you want upgraded RS7 style turbos. Well, these manifolds can make that possible. The same goes for say an Audi A8 4.0 TFSI V8 that suddenly becomes a huge tuning value with upgraded hybrids. ...Published on 11-13-2018 08:45 PM
Remember when a couple months back AudiBoost posted an article that 8's were coming for the new 2.5 TFSI? Well, we were just slightly premature. The best pass to date in the 1/4 mile for an 8V Audi RS3 sedan or otherwise is 9.019 @ 157.01. ...Published on 11-13-2018 08:28 PM
You have to give HRE props here for doing something different as their new designs seemed to stagnate. The end result here is not the most aesthetically pleasing wheel as it looks like something out of a Lego Technic kit but it certainly is different and points toward future design methods. ...Published on 11-13-2018 06:34 PM
This is a bold claim from TVS Engineering and one AudiBoost has yet to see proof of. Not that we doubt them as their recent 800+ horsepower MKII Audi TTS demonstrates impressive Audi dual clutch gearbox upgrades and control. ...
