One new car every week. Next up: Audi S3 8V

How much power, which parts, and where to buy them.

Every car on this sheet gets the same four stages: software, breathing parts, a bigger turbo, and a built engine. For each stage I list what the tuners claim, the parts you actually need, and the brands that make them.

No guessing and no made-up dyno numbers. If a figure is on this site, it comes from the company that sells the tune.

Nothing matches that yet. Cars are added every week.

Peak horsepower as claimed by the tuners, on the best fuel each tune supports. Stage 4 is a typical built-engine range.

The four stages

  1. 1Software

    A new file on the factory ECU. No parts. Usually the biggest gain per dollar.

  2. 2Breathing

    Downpipe, intake and intercooler, plus a tune written for them.

  3. 3Bigger turbo

    More boost on the stock engine, up to where the internals are still happy.

  4. 4Built engine

    Forged rods and pistons, a big turbo, a fuel system and a custom tune.
