Do you have any issues running stage 2 with no intercooler?
How long have you owned it?

I have had no issues running stage two without an intercooler feels absolutely fine. I think further down the road ill do it but for now its fine. I have owned it for almost four years know.

You can run stage 2 without upgrades cooling. I did for a while with no real issue. You get a little heat soak on hot days or under a lot of stress, but otherwise it's ok. Upgraded cooling with DP setup is a must though. It's much much hotter.

Love the car, and that CF front lip. I've been looking for the right one for my car and love the way it looks.

My only opinion, and it's only MY opinion, is that tire stickers push the car to the border of "ricey". I'm not a fan. But the rims and stance are gorgeous.

Great build!

I've heard many things on going stage 2 and had a guy turn me down to install upgraded pulley because of no intercooler. So this helps. I'll get on those down pipes and possibly an intercooler if I find one for the right price.
What else have you done for upgraded cooling?

I only did the APR CPS system which is 100% bolt on. If I were to do it again, I'd get the upgraded pump and additional reservoir. It's working for me as is though. APR tested it in this configuration and doesn't recommend anything additional, but others have seen gains with the added coolant volume and flow.

Something new came in the mail today and I look forward to installing it soon once I complete my own custom brushed aluminum audi rings. I will share a photo of my custom rings below as well as my new grille!



Here below are the custom brushed aluminum Audi rings that I have been able to make. The top rings are factory chrome and the bottom is brushed aluminum made from the original chrome rings. If you are interested in them shoot me a DM on Instagram!!!

You just spray matte platisip over the stock rings? Achieves an almost indentical look

[4Rings3Liters]

I love everything except the tire lettering, ricey.

Yes but this has a Brushed look when you go up close to the rings. Spraying matte plasti dip over the stock rings will not show a brushed look.

Thanks so much bro... it might not be white for much longer haha

[S4Robo]

FINALLY! lol

Glad you've made the build thread.
I actually didn't mind the tire lettering but of course that's my opinion. It gave an aggressive look with the wheels you had.

Keep it up bro!

Awesome build! How do you like the Eurocode Clutch and flywheel set up?

[Idtrav]

Following you too since i got my S4 last year and glad you made it over here. One of the mintiest S4's around.

LOVE the tinted windshield....wish i had the balls to do that!

Wiper delete though...ummmm because no rain driving lol?

[jzwecker_s4]

I love the clutch and flywheel. makes the driving experience much better. It is still hard to get used to starting from a stop as I still jerk the car. But when you push the car to its limits oh man does this setup pull you back into the seat. I love it!!!!

Just wanted to give everyone a little update on some things. So I have had the new wheels on for a couple of weeks, yesterday I had a little hour drive to Connecticut and the rubbing in the rear was really bad. I had a 3MM spacer back there to match up with the front 3MM spacer but after that drive I noticed it had to be removed. It is absolutely perfect without the spacer in the rear no more rubbing.

As far as the PS4S tires they are amazing. The ride quality at speed on the highway is incredible and much better then the previous PSS.

The following photos include the new Quattro grille that I had just installed and it looks awesome. The honeycomb has such a better pattern then most of the grilles like it!

[A4Qwattro]

I dig! Love the quattro grill. That mesh is from the facelift RS6/ RS7 and it looks so much classier in my opinion than the ECS, china run of the mill mesh grilles.

[jzwecker_s4]

Just installed the ECS Tuning carbon front lip and I am absolutely in love with the aggressiveness of the front end. Exactly what I was looking for!!

Your car looks amazing. I wish they had those fog grilles for the b8. Between here and Instagram, you always have great shots of your car. Bravo.
