How did you did for the lightened flywheel? I'm planning to do on mine, but I have the 1.8 20V non turbo engine. Is it possible?

im sure you can get a lightened a balanced flywheel for your car i got mine when i had the diff and clutch done best thing would be to contact AMD technic they will point you in the right direction.

It's not too bad to do mate, Just make sure you have at least 2 of each drill bit'd and start off small ;)
What size bolt's did you get ???

Not sure mate was going to do a search on here i did see some people were using mi10 or something like that.

Did it make a big difference to the handling and did you just do the upper or have you changed the lower brace as well

Just makes turn in response slightly sharper and I noticed it handles bumps better.

If you want handling then don't worry about the s3 brace for now and get ARBs or Suspension.

They are next on my shopping list but as i have just had the LSD Clutch and short shifter done money is a litte short and as the S3 brace is soo cheap i thought i would get it now

The LCR's have the lower brace already fitted mate.

I used;
6 X M10 bolts 1.5" long with M10 Ny-lock nut's,
6 X m10 washers

You will also need a few SHARP drill bit's
2 X 10mm
2 X 8mm
2 X 6mm
2 X 4mm

I got mine from my local Audi dealers.
Here's the part No; · 8L9 805 629 A - Audi S3 upper strut brace
They dont list the bolt's though as they are part of the strutt and the nut's are only M8, You should be able to get them from Homebase or B&Q

Did you have Revo stage II before fitting the hybrid k04?
If so do you notice a big improvement over the stock k04?

Who's hybrid is it - Backdraft?

I am toying with the idea of a hybrid turbo set -up, currently running Revo stage II but it only makes 252bhp...
