The car will gain like 7-8mph in trap speed from the JB4 alone which is an immense difference.

Yes, I didn't think you can get a fwd A3 in mqb?
It might be too cold today but I'm heading up anyways.
Yeah I almost got one instead of the GTI! it was about 4k difference and I wanted a manual.
Good luck, will be interesting to see the trap speeds on the IS38.
A R and A3 quattro is similar in cost, but obviously with the R you get a slightly reduced interior and the upgraded EA888 with:
IS38 Turbo
Cylinder head (made from a different alloy compared to other engines in this module because of higher thermal stress)
Exhaust valves (hollow, higher Ni content, nitrided)
Exhaust valve seat rings (improved temperature stability and wear resistance)
Exhaust camshaft (adapted valve timings)
Compression ratio 9.3:1 with different pistons
Piston cooling jets (higher flow rate)
High pressure injectors (even higher flow rate)
Exhaust turbocharger
Charge pressures of up to 17.4 PSI (1.2 bar)
High performance main radiator with 1-2 auxiliary radiators (depending on country specifications)
Additional acoustic modifications have been made in order to achieve a sporty sound - use of a sound actuator (for the occupant cell) and active exhaust flaps in the exhaust system
Considering a good amount of people in europe are running over 400whp on the stock internals I would probably buy for the upgraded interior in the A3 over the R if I was to drop another 10k over my current car.

Thanks man
Did any of you have to replace the front swaybar links? Mine seem to be hitting the swaybar on decent size bumps

Nice GTI! I re-installed my Scale coilovers last weekend. Brand new kit comes with adjustable swaybar links which I use.
Here is my ride for this summer:

Jb1 or unitronic stage 1? I don't plan on doing dp or anything for awhile
JB4, not JB1. And the JB4 will be at LEAST as quick as a Unitronic Stage 2 (with DP). I guess I will have to prove that with Stage 2 traps. We'll see!
I like being able to adjust boost per gear and switch maps, no brainer for me.
