Audi A3 (8L) 1.8T with 150 PS (110 kW)
You have chosen an excellent vehicle for engine tuning with the Audi A3 (8L) 1.8T 150 PS (110 kW). It is perfectly suitable for performance enhancement, because the tuning parts have already been tested and perfected by us for years.
BAR-TEK® is Motorsport
BAR-TEK® is Europe's largest engine tuning store for VW and Audi performance upgrades and is run by a former racing professional with 10 years of Formula 1 experience. With him, your car is in the best hands.
The procedure for increasing the performance of your Audi depends on your budget, your time and your desire for more power. All in all, there are the following adjustments that we can make to increase the performance of your Audi:
1st Stage: Chip tuning
Simple, cheap, effective
Chip tuning is the first, simplest and cheapest step to increase performance. The manufacturer deliberately leaves "reserves" in the engine performance, which we extract for you. Optimal power, more performance, higher torque (and even less consumption and increased longevity are possible if you choose "Eco-Tuning").

Please note the following
If you have already done other tuning modifications, please let us know. We strongly advise against "standard chip tuning packages" - as often offered on the web - because installing standard chips in already modified vehicles can be expensive later on (!).
The solution
We tune each car individually with our dynamometer. Only a few tuning companies can offer that. Unlike other chip tuning providers, we don't just send you an ECU, but check the before and after performance of your car. This is the only way we can guarantee the increased performance and safety of your car.
2nd Stage: Upgrade Kit V1
"I want more!"
In addition to chip tuning, with the first engine upgrade kit, engine parts, sports clutch, turbocharger, intercooler, fuel pump and racing cat are exchanged for high-end tuning parts.

Price/Performance
The OEM parts can not offer more power and would not withstand the increase in power, even in terms of safety. The effort for the upgrade is correspondingly greater than with chip tuning, but that is later also the power of your Audi A3!
All parts have been tested by us and our customers for years and the extra performance is regularly proven on the dyno. Imagine you give your car to a Formula 1 tuner. At BAR-TEK®-Tuning you really do. And that's what you get out of it.
3rd stage: Upgrade Kit V2
"I want more!"
In addition to chip tuning, the first engine upgrade kit replaces engine parts, sports clutch, turbocharger, intercooler, fuel pump and racing catalytic converter with high-end tuning parts.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Do I have to have the parts registered with the TÜV (German Technical Inspection Agency)?
Yes, any structural modification must be
approved by a test center. Otherwise your operating license will expire. We
already offer many items with a TÜV certificate, so you can drive in traffic
with confidence. It's best to talk to the TÜV inspector about your project
beforehand and have it approved.

Where can I have the upgrade done?
Of course, from us ourselves. Every part can also be installed by us. Should you wish this, simply contact us.

Can I install the parts myself or have them installed by a partner?
Many items can be easily installed even without a master craftsman's title. If it should become nevertheless times somewhat more extensive, do not hesitate to ask us. However, we recommend that any conversion work should only be carried out by trained personnel.

Good reasons for BAR-TEK®
Audi A3 (8L) tuning since its birth
We tune the A3 (8L) in all variants (body, equipment) and model series since it first came off the production line. The key thing is that a 1.8L or larger gasoline engine is installed. The simple overall concept makes it the ideal vehicle for hobbyists and self-tuners, but also allows professionals like us to really get everything out!
More about us
Parts developed specifically for the Audi A3 (8L)
Over the years, we have already made the Audi A3 (8L) fit for the racetrack in several of our own projects and installed specially developed parts for this purpose and put them to the test. These are only available at BAR-TEK® and have also been approved by TÜV. Only in this way can we guarantee maximum performance without sacrificing safety and long driving pleasure.
Our own developments
We know the children's diseases of the Audi A3 (8L)
The Audi A3 (8L) often has problems with the chain drive. The chain elongates and wears out. We have identified the fault and specialize in not only fixing it but using it to your advantage. We know all the teething problems of the Audi A3 (8L) and eliminate them professionally and safely in tuning.
