Recommend company's for your S2 (or IL5)

[1975DCS]

Since owning my S2 I have been checking out what company's or persons can help in maintaining, servicing and tuning the beloved S2. So far I have made my following opinions:

- 034Motorsport: New developments still made, not too expensive, great site and e-mail service, parts of the shelf
- VS Motors: About the same as 034 maybe a bit more expensive (responsible for a lot of top machinery on Gatebil shows in Norway)
- KRB Trading: About the same as VS Motors (one of the biggest tuning and turbo suppliers in Norway and owns a pretty powerfull 5 cil himself too!)
- Dahlback: Nice stuff but seems very expensive and despite that can it beat VS or KRB?
- MTM: About the same as Dahlback? And is it oldschool nowadays?
- ABT: No experience with them, can they deliver wild conversions? New technologies? I think they are interesting for the mild and newer Audi only...
- Hohenester: Seems to offer serious conversions for serious money. But like MTM has it become oldschool? They do take it serious indeed, they will change conrods if mileage is a tad too high!
- High Octane (Jeffer/Jeffry): New in the scene, very close to home, so have to check that out!
- X-Treme Tuning: Even closer to home, have to check that out, too!
- V-Max: Very hard to reach indeed (as ever), no info yet about their conversions. With there Opels they are like 034 is with their Audi's. But if this is the same with their Audi offerings?
- MRC/Minhea: Minhea seem to have become the Ahmed Bayoo for Audi's: Mapman! But I can't find any hardware on MRC site...
- Oettinger: Not found out yet...
- Wetterauer: Not found out yet...
- Nothelle: Not found out yet...
- Ahmed Bayoo: Could do the mapping as well I think...
- Julian Godfrey: I think he was involved in the Tommy Kristoffersson project, I think he has the knowledge to build a cracking engine!
- Lehmann: Builds almost every VAG competion engine, could do the trick but is probably not interested in this sort of work

I think the most likely people for me are: 034, KRB or VS. They are one of the few still trying to make everything better than ever. Unfortunately they are all very far from Holland... Especially when real problems occur!

Tell me what is your view?

I would say High Octane (Jeffer) for sure
He certainly knows his stuff with Audis and he's a very good guy also...
Depends what products you are after I suppose but I would certainly give him a call. You can't beat being nearby to a seller for aftersales support.....I dont think you would be disappointed.

Would agree that Jeffer is a very friendly & helpful bloke! If he's your 'local' I'd drop him a line.

How could you miss Quattronics/Corey from your list though? UK based, active on the S2 forum and happy to offer sound advice and service.

SPM (Sweden) supply some top parts too for Volvo & Audi and their prices are good.

Yes, I agree, but the problem is that is Corey is just as far away (in terms of overseas) as the 034 parts he is selling... The Swedes en Norges are having this same distance and overseas handicap...

Yes I do hear good things about this bloke. But I am not sure if he makes most of the parts himself or if he can deliver parts from other manufactures as well. At first I thought he did not have a garage or company at all. Just asuming he was just a very well known forum member...

[QuattroFever]

what do you know, I didn't know all this time that jeffer has a tuning company. was worth getting out of bed after all.

Found this trawling for an answer as to whats happened with VAG parts.

are they trading under a different name now? Anywhere else to get Stealer parts at cheaper prices?

Try another forum sponser...

Quattro Corner...if you can contact him

Your kidding right? Pete is one of the few people who always answers the phone and he always replys to e-mail enquiries, and quickley too.

Guys, just to clarify things. I (personally) do not have a tunings company. The projects and parts I make are pure for fun and 99% for myself, and not for customers.
The products you see on my website are old info, and I need to pull that whole section off of the site.

However sometimes Cees makes some stuff in his machine shop (flywheels etc etc). But we are not in business together. Just very good friends!

Good luck finding a tuner nearby.
Cheers
