This is what your engine needs to have a long shelf life:
You don't need any additional components here. Simply install and have fun! No longlife oil. Better use our GTX Racing 10W-60 oil.
We recommend using 102-octane fuel. This will give your engine more power because it reduces knocking! The turbocharger shouldn’t be too old, and the engine should be in good condition. The foundation has to be right. If you need new spark plugs anyway, you should order our upgraded spark plugs at the same time.

You need that extra to make it last:
For this performance level, we recommend our upgrade intercooler. This means you always have full power, even at warm temperatures.
Here’s a great tip: With the BAR-TEK® 2.0L TSI intake system (TÜV-certified), you’ll get up to 15 additional horsepower. As always, 102-octane fuel is required, and our high-performance spark plugs and ignition coils are also a must.

You need that extra so that it will last:
To make sure you get the power to the road, you need a reinforced sport clutch. The original clutch cannot handle the increased torque. For DSG vehicles, we recommend our reinforced DSG clutch for torque over 500 Nm. This can transmit up to 700 Nm! For the optimal transmission oil temperature, it is necessary to install our transmission oil cooler kit. So you protect your DSG transmission from overheating! So that your engine oil does not overheat and always an optimal temperature and oil condition in your engine herscht, we recommend an oil cooler kit. To the oil cooler kit we recommend you to order our digital oil temperature gauge, so you have the oil temperature of your engine always at a glance.
If you’ve already installed an upgraded intercooler and a downpipe, you can continue to use them. If not, these parts are essential! You can get the appropriate software tuning from your trusted tuner.

This is what you need to cool down your EA888 evo4:
If you want to get the full performance out of your Golf 8 GTI, you definitely shouldn't forget about 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 GTI, and the transmission also suffers from the new power. In the best case, the hard-earned performance will be reduced again; in the worst case, your engine will suffer major damage. So that you can tune your engine safely and reliably, we provide you with everything you need for perfect GTI cooling, from oil coolers to all-aluminum water coolers and RACE water pumps to cooling water additives. Everything is also included for cooling DSG transmissions.
Turbo Guide
The perfect 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.
