The S3 is not at all for track only.
It is a daily driver tune designed to keep the engine away from spikes in cylinder pressures by correctly adjusting valve overlap and using very low ignition targets.
Track is the harshest environment you can put any engine through and an aggressive tune is exactly what you don't need here.

Our aim on all platforms has been to run as much power and use the least amount of boost, ignition timing, keep the cylinder pressures as low as possible, keep EGT's as low as possible to create an upgrade which is safe.

For us also, the consistency of the power means everything. No point in having a big boost tune which delivers power on the dyno once or is quick on the road one one or two pulls.

A medium powered consistent engine will totally out perform a high powered one hit wonder.

What we can tell you is the trick in our tuning is the valve timing on both intake and exhaust when tuning. It's not all about boost.
