Our aim is to provide you with a guide to long-lasting tuning that will stand you in good stead for years to come. We show you all the steps to take, and everything you need.

You need this extra to make it last:
You don't need any additional components here. Simply install and have fun! No Longlife oil. Better use our GTX Racing Oil 10W-60.
For vehicles with high power we recommend 102 octane fuel. This reduces the knocking of the engine, giving it more power. Turbocharger and engine should not be too old and in good condition. Also check the red pressure hose on the turbocharger. This is often leaking as it does not tolerate the heat from the manifold. Our Forge silicone hose can help!
To reduce coking to a minimum and keep the engine clean, we recommend installing our oil catchtank kit with TÜV.

For higher mileage, we recommend fitting a sports clutch so that the extra power can be put on the road.
As with level 1, we recommend 102 octane fuel. Again you should replace the pressure hose with the Forge hose!

You need this extra to keep it long:
To drive 400 hp, you have to replace your connecting rods with H-beam connecting rods and forged pistons. For this we have a complete all-round carefree kit of connecting rods and pistons! A sports clutch kit is also required. For the exhaust you should use a 76 mm exhaust system. To keep the oil temperature in a healthy range, an oil cooler must be installed!
For this conversion you need a good chip tuning. You can send us your control unit or have your vehicle tuned directly on our 1000 PS MAHA all-wheel dynamometer.

This is how you improve the cooling:
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 your engine! The thermal load increases and affects all areas of your vehicle, even the transmission 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 provide you with everything you need for perfect cooling. Although it is ideal to install all parts together in a cooling bundle, you don't necessarily have to order everything at once. Each product helps you to improve cooling.
