stephencam Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hi Does anyone have one of these fitted to their S3 pls? I have an MTM chip and Hyperboost DV in my 2003 S3 and was wondering if its worth installing a Milltek hi-flow cat I dont have a free flow exhaust as I am not sure i really wanna splash out on one.

Ben Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Apparently they do the job but you'll need to get your chip tailored as there's a big increase in gas flow that the turbo doesn't like or something like that. I was thinking along the same lines until I saw the price of a new Cat Have you seen any prices yet? Cheers Ben PS REVO reckon you can run more boost with a different Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencam Posted March 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Yeah i have seen the price, just under £800 Well at least i dont have to pay VAT where I live Apparantly the MTM chip (which I have) is programmed to run with a free flow exhaust already, as regards to the CAT I dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Bit of a shock isn't it? Add down pipe and Cat-back system you must be looking at £1300 (exVAT for us lot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencam Posted March 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 I dont think its worth it, just gonna keep the CAT and exhaust as they are, too expensive Be nice to have some AP six pot brakes on front though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Mmmmm, big brakes, mmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 [ QUOTE ] Be nice to have some AP six pot brakes on front though [/ QUOTE ] or the Movit Group buy on here? ok. "only" 4 pots! but Porsche specs, so if they can stop a Porsche they will stop an S3! currently 25% off for 5 + orders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencam Posted March 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 The reason why i want the AP 6 pots is cos they are AP , 6 pots and grey in colour. I dont really want red calipers on my S3, i dont think it looks right. My only concern is that I hear stories that these big brakes squeal a lot, any comments on this pls?

shao_khan Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I never had any problems with my Brakes squealing in 8 or 9k miles. I have a second hand free flow cat from a TT for sale - dunno if it is same as the one used on the S3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I read somewhere that TarOx does a 10 pot kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Stephen.. There is a choice of black calipers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencam Posted March 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Thinking about it, if I am gonna spend £1500 on Porsche brakes then I want people to notice them, so red would be the choice for me!! £1500 a lot of money though eh? Will have to think long and hard before me splash out the dosh Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencam Posted March 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Does anyone have any pics of their Porsche brakes on their S3 they can forward to me pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 All these are Porche brakes. Movits are more or less identicle except for logo. From Gallery Micks S3 Deans S3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencam Posted March 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Thanks for the pics I have decided that if I do upgrade my brakes then it will be the MOVIT's but I still dunno about the colour. Red or Black My car is silver so Red brakes would stand out but black ones would be very subtle. mmmmmm, decisions decisions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 A Porsche dealer told me once that you can have the calipers any colour you want except yellow - the yellow designates the Porsche Ceramic Brakes apparently. So you could try to get hold of some in a nice purple metalic or dark green or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Movit Standard calliper colour: All 4s range callipers red or black, (Mov'it 4S3 is recomended for S3 BTW due to larger pistons and pad surface area) All 4m's red only, 6 pots yellow you can spec different colours and logo, but it costs...

Paul Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 For me Red is the only option! Ferrari red car with RSTT's will look the poodles plums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
