VW Golf VII GTi Performance Stage 3 IS38

The Golf VII GTi with the Performance pack comes with 230hp from the factory. This particular GTi is equiped with a limited slip differential, bigger brakes and a magnetic ride suspension direct from the factory. It really is a very well balanced car with amazing handling, but the customer needed extra power.

Our recommendation was to install an IS38 turbo from it’s bigger sister: IS38 turbo from the Golf 7R. This turbo can bring some serious gains when combines with a full exhaust. The car already had a carbon intake from APR so we were ready.

The results: 374hp with an amazing powerband through the revrange and almost 550Nm of torque!

 

Upgrade specifications

  • 98RON fuel
  • IS38 turbo from Golf 7R
  • Full 76mm (3.0″) exhaust with 100cell sports cat
  • Etuners Stage 3 Gen3 MQB ECU remap
  • Compatible also with DSG gearboxes

 

Performance results

  • Maximum power: 374hp (measured 245hp stock), gains  130hp
  • Maximum wheel hub torque: 550Nm (measured 350Nm as stock), gains 200Nm

    How much does it cost to take it to stage 3???

      To get to stage3 you will need an IS38 turbocharger, upgraded exhaust and a larger intercooler. Costs can vary depending on your choice of parts and where in the world you live in.
