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 Castrol Edge 10W-60 oil.
BAR-TEK® tips:
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!

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!

To put the 310 PS on the road, you should use the sports clutch kit. You'll also need to install an oil cooler to get the oil temperature right.

You need this extra to keep it long:
To drive 400 PS, 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.

Das brauchst du extra, damit es lange hält:
Um eine Leistung von 400 PS zu fahren, musst du deine Pleuel durch H-Schaft Pleuel und Schmiedekolben ersetzten. Hierfürm haben wir ein komplettes Rundum-Sorglos-Paket aus Pleueln und Kolben!. Außerdem ist ein Sportkupplungs-Kit erforderlich. Beim Auspuff solltest du zu einer 76 mm Abgasanlage greifen. Damit die Öltemperatur im gesunden Bereich bleibt, muss zwingend ein Ölkühler verbaut werden!
Für diesen Umbau brauchst du eine gute Softwareabstimmung. Dazu kannst du uns dein Steuergerät zusenden oder dein Fahrzeug direkt auf unserem 1000 PS MAHA-Allrad-Leistungsprüfstand abstimmen lassen.

The performances indicated here are based on our experience and can only indicate a tendency, therefore all data are without guarantee. Since every engine is different and the maximum performance depends on several factors (fuel, software tuning, mileage, etc.), you should have your car put through its paces by us. We do that on our 1000 PS dynamometer.
