Hi ,, what is the easiest/best way to check timing on audi s2 ?
Last time i used a ignition cabel between sparkplug and ignition coil and used that cabel to hook it ?

Ignition timing?
Why would you want to check it? It’s not adjustable.

To check that its correct vs MAXXecu

You mean tdc? Insert a long thin bar in spark plug hole of cilinder 1 and rotate engine clockwise until you find the most high point of the piston,that is a rough point, for exact tdc you need special tools like micrometer.

He means to check the trigger angle offset.

I use HT lead between coilpack & plug - some timing lights will pick up from the coil trigger wire from the ECU but often you need to use a length of HT lead for a pick-up

Don't forget to lock timing in the ECU settings
