You don't need any additional components here. Simply install and have fun! You should not use longlife oil. Better is our fully synthetic GTX Racing 10W-60 oil.
We recommend to fill up with 102 octane fuel. This will give you more power because your engine knocks less! Of course the turbocharger should not be too old, also the engine must be in a good condition. The V-Max is always in good condition with our tuning! With DSG vehicles we always lift the torque limit.

For our Chiptuning V2 we recommend to use NGK RACE spark plugs. So you always have a stable spark and don't have to be afraid of misfiring.
102-octane fuel is required here. Always check the pop off valve! The diaphragm is often torn, which causes a significant loss of power. Our tip: The GFB Upgrade Valve! With our tuning, the V-Max is always unlocked! For DSG vehicles, we always raise the torque limit.

Here, 102 octane fuel is mandatory. Always check the pop off valve! The diaphragm is often torn, resulting in a high power loss. Our tip is: Install the GFB Upgrade Pop Off Valve! The V-Max is always in our tuning! With DSG vehicles we always lift the torque limitation.

For our Chiptuning V4 you need an upgrade turbocharger and an upgrade high-pressure pump. A must for this performance is a 3,5" downpipe and a 3.5" exhaust system.
Here 102 octane fuel is mandatory. The V-Max is always part of our tuning! With DSG vehicles we always raise the torque limit.

Due to higher loads and more boost pressure, you need reinforced pistons and connecting rods for your engine. With our forged piston & connecting rod set you can drive the V2 tuning kit to 650 PS stable and safe! You need a reinforced sport clutch to bring the power on the road. The original clutch cannot handle the increased torque. For cars with DSG transmission, you'll also need to install a reinforced DSG clutch and adjust the DSG software. You can simply contact us for this. More engine power also generates more heat, so a higher oil temperature. So that your engine oil doesn't overheat and there is always an optimal temperature and oil quality in your engine, you absolutely need an oil cooler kit! As a perfect addition we recommend to order our digital oil temperature indicator: So you always have the oil temperature in view!
Here you have to drive 102 octane fuel. Then it is simply important to carry out the conversion cleanly. We would be happy to do the conversion for you. Here you come to our Area-51 Workshop! The adjustment of the software to the new components must be adapted individually on the performance test bench.

For the workshop
Useful items for your workshop
For perfect tuning, you need the right expertise and tools. At BAR-TEK®, you’ll find everything you need to tune your engine. Here you’ll find a detailed repair guide, some of which include illustrations (where available for your engine), as well as the most important tools from our shop:
Cooling Guide
You need this for optimum cooling:
If you want to get the full performance out of your 2.5L TFSI, 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.
Turbo Guide
The optimum turbocharger for your tuning project
The turbocharger is one of the most important tuning measures of all, as there is extreme performance potential in the compression ratio. That's why you'll find all the turbos from the guides and suitable alternatives in this special turbo guide if you prefer a specific manufacturer, for example. 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 properly, turbo lag and, of course, our 14 turbo rules.
