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!
