There are cases in which one would like to be able to measure the power of a car engine. This need arises not only in the field of tuning but also for checking and controlling the state of the engine or even just for simple curiosity and education.
Requests for tuning start from the desire to increase the performance of the Golf, which is not always dependent (as with other brands) on absolute poor standard performance, but on that quest for performance enhancement and customization that some Golf owners seek.
Today we talk about a little super sports car that we have already tuned several times. Recently, however, we tuned a somewhat special model that also received major modifications to its exhaust system, but let's go step by step. Let's see how this RS3 drives as standard and what kind of engine it has.
When it comes to compact sports cars, one cannot help but think of the S3, the "little" sports car from Audi's stable that has always won over lovers of sporty driving and, often, consequently, tuning enthusiasts as well. The first versions of the S3 already touched the hearts of many sportsmen, young and old, and the 4-cylinder turbocharged 1800 was very popular.
As we have often done, let us start by first addressing how the car in question drives in stock conditions, we have said that this 308 mounts a modern engine that is the result of the downsizing philosophy. This philosophy aims at reducing the displacement and the number of cylinders for the same power output.
