ECO kit

The kit that I bought had all prices that were needed to install. Using the online install instructions there are differences as the system needs have changed which would be nice to see an updated to those instructions. I have seen a few comments about the mod pipe fit being tight, which it was but I did not have to alter to make them connect …… overall I am happy with the system 👍🏻

Good delete kit

Kit was used on a 2013 A3, instructions were fairly close to expected. I was able to make it a bit easier to free the DPF cutting some of what was in the way with a sawzall and made it easier to maneuver. I did this work with jack stands in the garage after work the day after received. Took about 6 hours in total including installing the tuning. A lift would have made this significantly quicker than crawling under on the ground and for clearance. One item I would have liked to see was a new gasket for the turbo connection instead of reusing the factory one, but a cheap part if you want to replace, just thought for the overall price it would be nice to include.

Perfect

The quality and fit were absolutely perfect.
My highly skilled technician installed the kit and tune in less than 4 hours .

Completely recommend, but it's definitely some work

I installed this on my '11 A3, pretty much a bone stick rig before. I purchased this kit, then separately purchased a FlashZilla Pro, then tuned it to the generic Stage 2 and upgraded TCU tuning through the Tunezilla Portal. I purchased the 'straight pipe'.

Quick note: The FAQ is wrong: You do NOT need a dealer to install the TCU tune. The FlashZilla Pro is now capable of doing it.

The instructions are reasonable, the photo quality leaves a bit to be desired, but the majority of the instructions are straight forward and easy to follow. I highly, highly recommend that you also watch through some YouTube videos of the install. I referenced them multiple times throughout the process since it made it a bit easier. As far as the Audi is concerned, the photos being on a Jetta make little difference. I definitely recommend trying to get the car lifted as much as you can, the space makes a lot of the process easier. Not going to recommend any particular way, I was able to utilize a portable lift that run underneath the outside of the frame beneath the doors. Made removing the center undercarriage protector a bit difficult since it applied pressure onto it, but wasn't a big deal. I think I probably would have blown an aneurism if I didn't have as much clearance as I did.

I did run into a few concerns in the instructions, such as 'Step 8' which references a nut I don't know if I ever found.... No clue. Step 11 also has you remove an oxygen sensor off the exhaust, it says later under 12d that you can set them aside as they won't be reinstalled. I skipped removing the sensor since it was a complete pain in the angle it was installed in, so I just left it installed.

It also recommends unbolting the passenger side axle, and then if further difficulties are met, lowering the subframe. I was able to skip both of these steps HOWEVER, I did not remove the DPF and existing downpipe in a single piece. I suppose you absolutely could do this and remove it in one piece, but it made the process entirely easier to just saw through the existing downpipe before the DPF, then trim a few extra bits as you run into difficulty. Again, having clearance helps. I avoided cutting too close to any existing sensors. I had difficulty removing the EGT sensors and absolutely refused to want to lower the subframe. I was able to separate the downpipe from the DPF, remove the remainder of the downpipe, then manhandle the DPF into a better position to trim some excess. I also ran into problems with a hose that was shielded in aluminum and ran up around the DPF. I noted that this hose ran to the first pressure sensor, and would not be reconnected. I cut through this and separated it from the downpipe and that made removal a lot easier.
I also had enough space to avoid rocking the engine and moving the axle around. Again, probably since the saw just made everything easier, but your mileage may vary.
The "rubber and plastic exhaust bracket" talked about in Step 25 is the long black piece that is bolted into the subframe and supports the exhaust. It says simply "Remove from the DPF". Use a screwdriver and some force, it'll eventually pop off. It's a pain.

When installing the new downpipe, I had better luck loosely securing the downpipe to the existing DPF bracket, then manipulating the V-band to the turbo outlet flange. The V-bands through this entire project were annoying, but they are definitely a lot easier going on then removing (screwdriver, hammer and some patience). I recommend 2 people for most of this project, you need the hands.

The "EGT Sensor with Orange Connector" talked about in Step 30c was still installed in my removed downpipe after it was pulled from the car. The EGT sensor with the brown connector that you are instructed to remove, does NOT fit in the new downpipe. So make sure you don't damage any of the sensors throughout the project and are able to recover that one.

The tolerances with the midpipes are tight, I was unable to get the rear half to fit over the front half (yes, I was using the expanded end), so we sawed 4 small relief cuts in the front half of the midpipe and pressure it inside just slightly, to allow the rear half to slide over all the way. The photos and instructions also seem to imply there is an oxygen sensor install in the midpipe (Step 31j), but I did not see any install point for that, so I don't know what thats talking about.

TuneZilla tuning for both the ECU/TCU took about 30 minutes to complete, which was an agonizing wait after all that work, but it started up without a problem. No engine codes since install, no DPF lights. Sound with the stock catback is definitely deeper and more pronounced, turbo is a LOT louder. Stage 2 has a lot of nice get up and go to it. Took in total about 8 hours with two hands to complete it, most of the difficulties encountered was rust and seized components.

Overall, extremely happy. RawTek makes a great product and the TuneZilla tuning is a p...

Perfect fit and quality

The quality of the product is fantastic. The fitment is perfect. The instructions are very detailed. The performance increase is well worth it. This is the only kit you should buy.
