You need this extra to make it last:

Chip tuning is a lot of fun and you don't necessarily need any additional components. However, you shouldn't use longlife oil, but rather Castrol Edge 10W-60 oil.

BAR-TEK® TIP!

BAR-TEK® tips

As always at this point we recommend 102 octane as fuel. This makes the engine knock less and gives you more performance. Turbo and engine should be in good condition and not too old.

Here you should urgently upgrade to a sports clutch, as the original clutch cannot transfer this power. For the conversion to K04-015 turbocharger you should use a racing catalytic converter and our upgrade air mass meter.

BAR-TEK® TIP!

If you have already installed a sports cat, an intake hose and an upgrade charge intercooler, you can simply continue to use them. The sports cat is very important for the 1.8T engines in the Passat and Audi A4.

320 PS is a good announcement! To be able to drive this power, you should replace your connecting rods with H-beam connecting rods. Now a sports clutch kit is absolutely necessary. For the exhaust you should use a 76 mm exhaust system.

BAR-TEK® TIP!

A good software tuning of all components is required for this conversion. For this you can send your control unit to us or have your car tuned by us. Another tip from us: You should convert the downpipe to 70 mm, as the Passat and Audi A4 have a very narrow body at the bottom of the axle beam. You should move the catalytic converter downwards. This will reduce the exhaust temperature and protect the turbocharger!

These values are based on our own experience, but can vary depending on the vehicle. Since each engine is different and the maximum power depends on several factors, we can only give tendencies. If you want to know exactly what power your car is capable of, you can have it tested and tuned on our 1000 PS power dynamometer.
