Out with the new & in with the old!!! 🤣🤣🤣

That may not be how the expression goes, but I've decided to go back to where my Audi addiction all started, and that's with the 8V chassis!!! Here is my new to me 2015 Audi A3 Technik S-Line. I can't freakin' wait to see what performance potential this bad boy has in store!

20/07/2024

And that's a wrap on the 2023 VW GTI Performance! After just shy of a year, I've decided to move on to a new build! For those of you who were enjoying the Mk8 GTI content, don't you worry. I still have a few more videos to film & edit that I'll be releasing in the future!

Thank you so very much to the badass & for their amazing customer service! Stay tuned to the channel for the next build!

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F$CK?!?! Reiter Performance FINALLY tore down the motor in my B9 S4 and found that it was missing the upper oil control ring in cylinder 1!!! Time to reach out to Audi Canada and ask how the hell they can explain selling a car that was missing parts from the factory!

A big thanks to for tearing this all down and finding this MASSIVE issue!

💥EDIT💥 - seeing as the peanut gallery has been constantly making ignorant comments about "wHaT rEaLly hApPenEd", I've added more photos to the post. Please note that I recorded the entire process of the shop tearing down the motor. I don't just have photos. I have in depth video of the entire process.

1st race day of the year at The Titanium Strip Mission Raceway Park! Sadly, the RS3's tuning hasn't been completely sorted out, so I'm puttin' in work in the GTI first! I'm using Unitronic's Stage 1+ GBX E60-E85 tune to welcome in the 2024 drag racing season! Traction be damned, I'll try and have some fun!

Thanks to Dales Auto Service for the install & alignment once they installed my CTS Turbo Lowering Springs!

It's officially time to break in the RS3's brand new engine build! The entire rebuild is complete, and now it's time to see how it does while racking up some miles on the dyno. Once we've broken in the motor, we'll finally be able to see what the TTE855 can do on Unitronic software! I'm dancin' up a storm just thinking about hearing & feeling this beast at WOT again!!!

I'm SO freakin' pumped to share with the world OVER TWENTY DIFFERENT hardware & software changes we've made to the car from the following companies:






JXB Performance

GAWD DAMN! Does it ever feel good to see this soon to be monster on the hoist again!!! We're continually grinding here at Reiter Performance, so we're ready to race this upcoming drag racing season!

And to answer 95% of your questions, YES, I'll still be using the TTE855 paired with Unitronic software to start out the season!!!

07/03/2024

A MASSIVE thank you to Adam for catching the fact that I had ARP 2000 head studs from my original motor build and not the superior ARP 625's! I ordered a set from Iroz Motorsport & Kyle and I from Reiter Performance immediately installed them. I love supporting the OG's of DAZA development and will continue to do as they lead the way on this platform in power & speed!

Thank you for noticing the head studs.
Thank you for the continual support of all us speed freaks!!!

The Black Beast is back baby!!! This time, Racing Greed's shop car is packing a MASSIVE punch with a pair of TTE1020 hybrid turbos paired with Unitronic's potent Stage 3 software. Combined, they have turned this family hauler into an absolute animal!!! Video is now live!!!

I'm just an every day guy, trying to go as fast as I can in the 1/4 mile in my Audi's

25/01/2024

After 9 long months, I finally provided everyone an update on what's been taking place with my B9 S4 and my RS3. They both suffered engine damage last year, and we have finally made some progress on getting them both repaired! My most recent upload covers it all!

New Year... (fairly) New Ride..... New Personalized Plate!!! May I introduce to you the SNOT ROCKET!!! I usually build cars that are subtle in colour on the outside, but that blow people away with how fast they are. I decided to do things a little different on this daily, by grabbing everyones attention with a car that resembled the colour of mucus aka snot 😂 If the colour wasn't enough to turn heads, the license plate should! 🤣🤣🤣

Happy New Year everyone! May 2024 bring you health, happiness, love & success!!!

We finally managed to spend some time at rebuilding my DAZA and upgrading my DQ500 clutch packs & flywheel!

Motor sleeving was done at

Upgraded engine internals (pistons, rods & rod bearings) are all from

HD1300 clutch packs & upgraded flywheel are from

We're still a long ways away, but we're getting closer, and it brings me so much joy knowing that in the coming months my RS3 will be back up and running, making more power than it ever has before!

A few months back, I was given the immense pleasure of drag racing my buddy's 700hp+ Audi RS6! We started out with a completely stock vehicle and then tuned it in the pits, with Unitronic's Stage 1 91 octane software! After seeing how fast I could go with that software, we took it up to yet another level of power by tuning the car with Unitronic's Stage 1+ 93 octane tune! What an absolute animal! Check it out!

https://youtu.be/b7WWJMpMgQ8?si=hyVsSUP3e0YKXxHJ

Thank you to for the use of your vehicle and to for making such unreal software!

For the first time in my life, I was given the privilege of driving an Audi RS6 Avant! To make that statement even more awesome, the moment I started driving...

Well fellow Lower Mainlander's (the area around Vancouver, BC, Canada, for those that don't know)... another fuel comparison is in the books!!! I tested all of these tasty fuels:

Shell V-Power Nitro+ 93 (contains up to 10% ethanol)
Chevron Supreme Plus 94 (contains up to 10% ethanol)
Esso Supreme+ 93 (contains up to 10% ethanol)
Shell V-Power Nitro+ 92 (contains up to 10% ethanol from Blaine, Washington)
Shell V-Power Nitro+ 91 (contains up to 10% ethanol)
& Costco - Kirkland Signature 91 (contains up to 10% ethanol)

As much as it was the longest day I've ever spent on the dyno, the data that was collected was WELL worth it! I hope that this video continues to help any automotive performance enthusiast get the utmost performance out of their rides for years to come!

My 5th fuel comparison video and boy oh boy was it ever the most demanding! A GIGANTIC thank you to PG Performance, as well as all of the other individuals t...

I accidentally turned my RS3 & my B9 S4 into monster trucks! No engine & no transmission in either = no load on the front suspension! It certainly lifts the front end sky high! 🤣🤣🤣

04/11/2023

Here's my final video from the time I spent at Iroz Motorsport and what an amazing build to wrap it all up with! Hank let me drive his IMS750HS hybrid turbo equipped RS3, featuring Unitronic's brand new to market UniFLEX software!!! This car makes roughly 680-690whp & 530lb/ft on a STOCK MOTOR!!! I go into details on how fast I managed to get it to go in the 1/4 mile, in the heat & high elevation in Las Vegas. I also cover all the hardware Iroz has installed to get the utmost performance out of their new to market turbo kit. What an absolute beauty.

Let's wrap up my visit to Iroz Motorsport with a BANGER! Hank offered to let me take out his brand new to market IMS750HS powered RS3, featuring Unitronic's ...

Integrated Engineering puttin' in work! I'm so thankful to IE for spending an abundance of time, money & energy into R&D to help the community as a whole, by updating their software on the B9 platform. I know that as much as performance has always been at the top of their list, safety is right beside it. After seeing so many people experience engine failures on a variety of company's tunes, they spent the time figuring out what was really going on at a stock level to correct those issues, and make their software safer than everyone else's! I can't wait to get back behind the wheel of my B9 S4 again and hopefully these updates will be available for Stage 3 cars soon as well!

The newest IE Stage 1 & Stage 2 ECU tunes for the turbocharged Audi S4, S5, & SQ5 are available NOW! V2.3 features calibration refinements for a further enhanced driving experience. Improvements to factory boost control and ignition strategies have been implemented for increased stability in extreme temperature climates. This update is free for all existing IE customers via the POWERlink Mobile phone app or laptop TODAY! Ready to transform your Audi 3.0T? Get here: https://bit.ly/B930Ttuning

V2.3 furthers our already cutting-edge 3.0T calibrations and includes the following changes:
-Drivability improved via boost control strategy refinements
-New CEL warns drivers of extreme intake air temperatures
-Further refined safety measures in extreme heat
-Recalibrated OEM ignition timing adaptations to improve engine protection from poor fuel quality

Important Note:
IE highly recommends always keeping your engine tune up-to-date by running our most current calibration when released.

NO LONGER!!! IT'S HERE B$TCHES!!!! I can't wait for you all to experience the awesomeness of Unitronic tuning at its finest! UniFLEX IS HERE!!! From 91 octane all the way up to E85! There's no need to reflash your RS3 or TTRS. Simply fill up with whatever fuel you want and let'er rip! The tune will automatically adjust to the fuel and provide you optimal performance!

With testing and validations completed, Unitronic is proud to release its UniFLEX Hardware and Software package for 2.5TFSI EVO (DAZA) vehicles.

Well guys and gals, the time has come again to do some testing for all you horsepower junkies and I'd truly appreciate all of your support. Over the past 3 years I have performed multiple fuel comparisons testing the premium fuels found around the Lower Mainland. By highlighting the horrible fuel quality we have in the Lower Mainland I inspired Shell Canada to bring us their V-Power Nitro+ formula before the rest of Canada saw it come to market. Here's the link to the video:
https://youtu.be/vdg8DJmKODs?si=Lq8q1plC0me2krkb

This fuel has proven to be the best quality premium fuel we have ever seen in the Lower Mainland. I, as well as many other performance shops have tested it and it has proven over and over again to provide the best knock resistance, and in turn the most power available to all of us performance enthusiasts.

Over the past year there have some awesome changes to the fuel available to us locally and that is Chevron 94 now contains up to 10% ethanol as well as Esso now offers a 93 octane fuel which also contains up to 10% ethanol!

The following fuels are what I'll be testing:
Chevron 94
Shell 93
Esso 93
Shell 92 (from Washington State)
Shell 91
Costco 91

In the attempt to provide everyone the knowledge they need to get the utmost performance out of their vehicles I'd like to head back to the dyno to do all of the testing so that none of you have to! All I'm asking for is a mere 5 to 20 dollar donation from enough people willing to help cover the cost of the dyno time and all of the fuel needed to complete the testing (I estimate the cost to be around $1000-$1200 to make this video, seeing as it was roughly $800-$1000 previous years and the fuel prices have gone up). I have now spent thousands of dollars on expenses to perform all of the testing in the past helping everyone else. I'm willing to put in the time and effort, I just need help with the costs.

Any money raised above and beyond what is needed to pay for all of the fuel and dyno time will be immediately donated to the BC Children's Hospital. I could really use the assist to make this content for the performance enthusiast community to benefit from. Thank you all for your assistance and I can't wait to bring you all the results of testing our new premium fuel formulas!

This will now be the FIFTH time that I am going to be testing the prem… Adam Blender needs your support for WHICH PREMIUM FUEL IS BEST IN THE LOWER MAINLAND?

It took longer than expected to get the edit done, but hopefully it lives up to everyone's expectations! Here's the first of my 3 part series of my time spent with Hank Iroz & his team at Iroz Motorsport in Las Vegas. Watch all the way till the end to find out what's coming to the channel next!

I had the immense privilege of visiting Iroz Motorsport, the home of the world's fastest & most powerful Audi RS3's & TTRS's. The owner, Hank Iroz, provided ...

It’s time for the world to finally know what REALLY happened last Wednesday at Famoso Dragstrip in Bakersfield, California. Hank Iroz and his team of misfits from Iroz Motorsport allowed me to tag along and record all the action that took place that day.

A day that I will never forget, in which Jeff Thompson's RS3 went quicker and faster than any other RS3 has gone, any other MQB chassis car has gone and any other DAZA powered vehicle has gone!

To say I was lucky to be there is the understatement of the century. Check out what that day looked like and see exactly how Hank managed to run a 7.94 @ 182mph in Jeff Thompson's BLACK BEAST of an RS3!!!

After spending a few days with the Iroz Motorsport team in Las Vegas, Nevada, I asked if I could come with them to Famoso Dragstrip. They were going to attem...

28/09/2023

Well that's a wrap in Las Vegas!!! A MASSIVE thank you to and his SPECTACULAR team at !!! Not only did they spoil me with vast amounts of hospitality and friendliness, they also let me drive some of their cars! To top that off, they allowed me to tag along to their private rental to watch them go INCREDIBLY FAST in the 1/4 mile!!! Stay tuned to the channel as I will have MULTIPLE videos featuring all the shenanigans I got up to while visiting Iroz Motorsport!!! Till next time guys!!!

27/09/2023

Absolutely incredible... 😲😲😲

The amount of eye candy at is off the charts!!! 🤯🤯🤯

25/09/2023

What an absolute beauty! Photos do not do this car justice. I can't believe that Canadians have been robbed so far of owning such a badass machine! I was given the honour and privilege of taking this epic 8Y RS3 built by out for a scenic drive through the magnificent .of.fire 🔥🔥🔥
What an experience! Stay tuned to the channel for my first experience behind the wheel!

18/09/2023

I took my now JB4 powered GTI to The Titanium Strip Mission Raceway Park and put it to the test! First time out was certainly a learning experience. Second time out, I managed to lay down some solid times! So far, I'm super impressed with this JB4 unit, and I can't wait to see how much more I can squeeze out of it! Check out the video below!
