What you need to make it last:

You don't need any additional components here. Instead of Longlife oil, it is better to use our GTX Racing oil.

BAR-TEK® TIP!

We recommend to fill up with 102 octane fuel. This gives your engine more power because it knocks less! The turbocharger should not be too old. Engine should be in good condition. The base must be in good condition. If you need new spark plugs anyway, it is best to buy our upgrade spark plugs directly.

What you need to make it last:

You will need a reinforced sports clutch so that you can transfer the power to the road. The original clutch cannot handle the increased torque. For DCT vehicles, we recommend our reinforced DCT clutch if the torque exceeds 500 Nm. This can transmit up to 700 Nm! For the optimum transmission oil temperature, it is necessary to install our transmission oil cooler kit. This protects your DCT gearbox from overheating! We recommend an oil cooler kit to ensure that your engine oil does not overheat and that your engine always has the optimum temperature and oil quality. In addition to the oil cooler kit, we recommend ordering our digital oil temperature gauge, so that you always have an overview of your engine's oil temperature.

BAR-TEK® TIP!

If you have already installed an upgrade intercooler and a downpipe, you can continue to use these. You should also have the software customised by your trusted tuner.

This is what you need to cool down your VW Golf VIII GTI:

If you want to get the full performance out of your engine, you must not forget the cooling. Even a little extra power puts a lot of strain on it! The thermal load increases and affects all areas of your VW Golf VIII GTI, and the transmission also suffers from the new power. At best, the hard-earned power is reduced again; at worst, your engine suffers major damage. So that you can tune your engine safely and reliably, we can provide you with everything you need for perfect cooling, from oil coolers and all-aluminum water coolers to cooling water additives. We also have everything you need for cooling DSG gearboxes.

Turbo Guide

More engine power Better combustion More efficient engine use

The optimum turbocharger for your tuning project

The turbocharger is one of the most important tuning measures of all, as there is huge performance potential in the compression ratio. This is why you will find all the turbos from the guides and suitable alternatives in this special turbo guide, for example if you prefer a specific manufacturer. We have also compiled a lot of information for you on the subject of turbochargers, which you should take a look at. In addition to the detailed turbo tips, there is a page on running in engines correctly, turbo lag and, of course, our 14 turbo rules.
