SUPERCAR PERFORMANCE.
RACINGLINE'S OEM+ STAGE 3 TURBO KIT: INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED FOR EXCEPTIONAL POWER.
Combining everyday usability with devastating performance just one squeeze of the throttle away.
All for great value.
FIT IT. THEN ENJOY IT.
RacingLine's OEM+ Stage 3 upgrade offers a complete, turn-key package that is entirely usable on a daily-driven car yet offers devastating performance just one squeeze of the throttle away.
An exceptional value package of the highest quality, intelligently-designed hardware, matched in to our superb OEM+ Performance Software. Reliability comes as standard - fit it, then just enjoy it!
- A complete package solution that blends supercar performance with everyday practicality.
- The heart of the Stage 3 kit is our significantly re-engineered IS38 turbo - featuring our own turbine wheels and high-spec bearing pack inside.
- By retaining the housing of the IHI turbo, fitment is simple and cost-effective, reusing the factory oil and coolant lines plus gaskets with no aftermarket connections or adaptors to worry about.
- Developed and supplied as a full, complete install kit combining our hardware with our matched OEM+ software for a true 'Plug and Play' solution.
- The result? Expect 480hp, amazing driveability, and on a 4WD DSG car 0-60mph/100kph in around 3 seconds. True supercar performance.
For IS20 (smaller turbo) cars such as Golf 7 GTI, expect a power output of 450bhp.
PRECISION ENGINEERED FOR PERFECT PERFORMANCE.
Our OEM+ Stage 3 turbo reuses the stock factory IHI turbocharger housing as its basis with massively uprated, re-engineered high-flowing internal componentry.
- Each turbo is built in the UK, balanced, checked and tested to in excess of its maximum operating speed on a Vane Flow Test Rig
- Race-spec 360° thrust bearing packs plus increased shaft diameter
- Complete new CNC machined turbine/ compressor billet wheel
- Cut-back high flow turbine wheel for higher flow capacity
- All internal flows inside the housing ported and smoothed to support increased airflow
STAGE 3 TURBO PERFORMANCE
Let’s be honest, nobody chooses the Stage 3 upgrade for any reason other than performance.
Instant, supercar-like power is the reason we do this! But the RacingLine Performance OEM+ Stage 3 kit offers you much more besides, in terms of driveability, simple installation and reliability.
Our Stage 3 power and drivability is exceptional. Although power has exceeded 500bhp with ease in our dynamic testing, we have calibrated this full package with our OEM+ Performance Software to deliver a little less - a safe and repeatable 480bhp.
What this means is true supercar performance levels. In the 4Motion cars, equipped with DSG gearbox, expect to clock around 3 seconds 0-60 (100kph) times, with the potential for quarter mile times in the low 11 / high 10 seconds.
LET'S TALK NUMBERS.
POWER AND TORQUE FOR IS38 CARS (Golf R, Audi S3 etc)
Also please remember that changing your car's software will affect its manufacturer warranty. It is your responsibility to notify your insurer and to ensure that your car still complies with all your local road laws. Please consult your supplying dealer for full information.
RELIABILITY
Why do we calibrate power output to 480bhp when this kit could easily deliver more? It's very simple: that's the level that our research shows is safe for these engines and transmission.
There are of course turbo upgrades out there that promise more power. But just a quick check on the internet will prove our point - that over 500bhp will cause failure unless major engine rework is done first. Simple as that.
- Tens of thousands of development miles have been run on our test cars around the world (including hard track and drag strip use). It’s reassuring to know that the hardware of our kit will support that sort of output.
- At this level, all of the supporting hardware is stable and safe, and all of the ECU’s component protection systems are fully operational. OEM+ is offering a safer, reliable, turn-key package at safe peak power levels.
- With many hundreds of RacingLine Stage 3 kits sold around the world, we have had zero engine failures caused by this upgrade. We've even got one Stage 3 Golf 7R with 96k miles (155k kms) and still going strong.
SO WHAT'S IN THE KIT?
- Complete Stage 3 IHI turbocharger unit. (Exchange basis*, or outright purchase)
- Fully re-engineered internals
- RacingLine Stage 3 Turbo 90 Inlet Elbow
- RacingLine Stage 3 Turbo Muffler Delete
- OEM+ Performance Software Stage 3 Calibration:
- FREE if you are upgrading from OEM+ Stage 1 or 2
- RacingLine High Flow Intake Pipe
*Turbo Exchange Program: You will need to provide your supplier with a standard IS38 turbo. However, as we rework the whole set of internals, this can be in pretty much any condition - we'll even take a failed turbo!
For the smaller IS20 turbo (as used on lower-power 2.0 TSI such as Golf GTI), we cannot exchange.
