We recommend to refuel 102 octane fuel. This will give your engine more power because it knocks less! The turbocharger should not be too old. Engine in good condition. The basis must be right. Our tip: Install the GFB diverter valve.

Mega tip: With the open intake you have up to 15 PS more power. The following also applies here: 102 octane is mandatory and the GFB valve must not be missing! If you need new plugs anyway, it's best to buy our upgrade spark plugs directly.

If you have already installed a downpipe, upgrade intercooler and an upgrade high-pressure pump, you can continue to use them. If not, these parts are unavoidable! You can also get the right software tuning from us. We would also be happy to individually tune your car on our 1000 hp MAHA all-wheel dynamometer.

This is what your engine needs to have a long shelf life:
You need a reinforced sports clutch so that you can bring the power to the road. To get the power on the road, you need a reinforced sports clutch. The original clutch can't handle the increased torque. For DSG vehicles we recommend our reinforced DSG clutch for a torque above 500 Nm. This can transmit up to 700 Nm! For the optimum transmission oil temperature, we recommend our transmission oil cooler kit. This will protect your DSG gearbox from overheating! So that your engine oil does not overheat and always produces an optimal temperature and oil condition in your engine, we recommend an oil cooler kit, which is however still in work. For the oil cooler kit, we recommend that you order our digital oil temperature display, so you always have the oil temperature of your engine at a glance.
Stage 4
increased efficiency:
+ 220 PS
+ 210 Nm
Final output:
520 PS

That's what you need to cool down your S3:
If you want to get the full power out of your Audi S3 8V, you must not forget the cooling system. Even a little extra performance puts a lot of strain on your engine! The thermal load increases and affects all areas of your R, even the transmission suffers under the new power. In the best case, the hard-earned power is reduced again, in the worst case, your engine suffers capital damage. To ensure that you can tune your engine safely and steadily, we have everything you need for perfect R cooling, from oil coolers, our RACE waterpump and all-aluminum water coolers to coolant additives. We also have everything you need for cooling DSG transmissions.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
REAL CUSTOMERS, REAL FEEDBACK
I had various modifications made by BAR-TEK to my Audi, including fuel injectors, intercooler, engine and gearbox software including calibration. The car now runs much better and it's durable too! I am absolutely delighted with the result and would get anything done by him again at any time!
I've been a BAR-TEK Motorsport customer since 2015 and I'm absolutely delighted! On my first visit, I "only" had my G-Lader overhauled. I was so impressed with the service and expertise of the team that I haven't gone anywhere else since. I regularly have my supercharger overhauled, performance upgrades and various other installation work and improvements (e.g. chip, camshaft, manifold, shifter) carried out and always have the BAR-TEK team behind me. They not only get my car "ready" and ready for collection, but also keep everything transparent at the handover and explain everything in detail so that even "car laymen" understand where and how what was done. The team recognizes defects immediately and also takes care of them without an order! You won't find service like this anywhere else!
I can only recommend BAR-TEK, I have already ordered many parts. The customer service for inquiries or advice on a planned conversion is TOP. BAR-TEK's own products are also of very high quality and can be purchased without a guilty conscience.
I've been following BAR-TEK for a while now and was already enthusiastic about the brand before I ordered. Since I was looking for a legal open intake, I wanted to try the one from BAR-TEK and I can tell you one thing, I was not disappointed. The accuracy of fit was amazing, the installation took less than 30 minutes and the sound experience is a dream. Now my Cupra can finally breathe easy, thanks BAR-TEK!
My engine is completely rebuilt by BAR-TEK to get over 620 HP. Now already more than 2,5 years with this engine and it feels as good as new! Absolute top quality work from Bar-Tek motorsport! I Highly recommend them!
