TURBOS

A turbo engine is used in various models of VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda albeit in different guises and power levels. Turbos can fail and we can replace or arrange refurbishment of turbos. Some want more from the engine and the big gains can be obtained using a turbo upgrade.

Star Performance provide upgrade packages that cover the 2.0TFSi engine as well as the older 1.8T. Upgrades are also available for the Turbo Diesel engines.

As with all our performance enhancing modifications, we can confirm the improvements on our digital 4-Wheel Rolling Road. 

INTERCOOLERS

There is an increasing number of cars with turbocharged or supercharged engines. Standard intercoolers tend to be quite small and inefficient – usually located at the side of the front bumper. The limitations of the standard cooling become more apparent when trying to increase the engine performance.

One of the most effective solutions is to fit a Front Mounted Inter Cooler (FMIC). As the name suggests these are located in the centre of the front bumper, aligning with existing grill apetures. This usually allows a larger intercooler to be installed and also gains a much higher airflow which results in a greatly improved cooling effect – typically 20 – 30°C lower inlet temps.

Benefits include:
• Cooler air improves engine performance and response
• Prolongs the life of the turbocharger or supercharger
• Can help enhance other engine modifications

Star Performance recommend you consider upgrading the braking system whenever improving your cars performance.
