1.8 Turbo Tuning

With 1.8T tuning, driving becomes a real pleasure again. 1.8 Turbo tuning is suitable for vehicles whose engines come factory-equipped with a turbocharger. You’ll find everything you need in our Turbo-parts online shop. The benefits of 1.8 Turbo tuning are clear: The vehicle accelerates better, delivers smoother performance on the road, and driving pleasure is significantly enhanced. Performance Kits for 1.8 Turbo Tuning Equip your turbo with an amazing amount of new power. With our kits, engine tuning is a breeze. Our selection offers the right kit for every budget and every need—from hobby tuners to professional racers. Our range includes both plug-and-play performance kits and custom solutions tailored to your needs. With just one set, you can noticeably boost your vehicle’s performance and avoid additional purchases. Typically, after 1.8 Turbo tuning, the pressure hoses must be replaced, as they can no longer withstand the new pressure and may swell or shrink. The engine’s full power cannot then be utilized, which is why silicone hoses reinforced with synthetic fibers are used. In some cases, it is also necessary to reinforce the engine with stronger ARP bolts, bearing shells, forged pistons, and H-shaft crankshafts.

Turbocharger Upgrades

Upgrade turbochargers are particularly popular for 1.8T tuning. These include, for example, the turbocharger upgrades available from us at Borgwarner. They offer the advantage that the factory-installed turbocharger can simply be replaced with the model purchased from us. If such a tuning is performed, several modifications are necessary to fully utilize the engine’s power and the tuning’s potential. For example, the hotter air must be cooled, which is only possible with a larger intercooler. Likewise, the bypass valves should be replaced with more robust piston valves. To adapt the fuel supply to the new power output, replace the fuel injectors and the fuel pump with larger and more powerful models. Replacing the exhaust manifold is also essential. For conversions using a universal turbocharger, a manifold with a T25 flange is required, and the downpipe must be rebuilt. To reduce the load on the turbo, we offer larger, pre-welded plug-and-play downpipes, which typically include a 200-CPI catalytic converter. Now only two modifications remain: a stronger clutch and an ECU tune to match the installed components.

How the turbocharger upgrade works

A turbocharger upgrade is a popular method for increasing engine performance. During an upgrade, the factory-installed turbocharger is replaced with a new model. To fully utilize the engine’s power and tuning, several modifications must be made. These include, for example, a larger intercooler, more robust piston valves, larger fuel injectors, and a more powerful fuel pump. The exhaust manifold should also be replaced. For conversions using a universal turbocharger, an exhaust manifold with a T25 flange is required, and the downpipe must be rebuilt. To relieve the turbo, Turbo-Parts offers larger, pre-welded plug-and-play downpipes. A stronger clutch and software adaptation via ECU tune are also necessary.
