Are you having trouble trying to push the engine in your Audi or VW and make it outrun your competition? We can help you step on the accelerator. We can supply street-tuned performance parts for your Audi and VW that make exhaust notes sound like a symphony.

So how exactly can you make your Audi or VW go faster? Finally, you've come to the right place. We have the right products on the market to help you achieve that. Here's a quick guide on how to upgrade your VW or Audi with CTS Turbo parts!

Why Should You Upgrade Your VW or Audi?

An Audi or VW is already a fantastic vehicle coming from the factory. However, doing a few upgrades will take a fantastic vehicle and make it even better. So what are the positives in upgrading your vehicle? 

  1. Increased Performance
  2. Increased Drive Ability
  3. Improved Handling
  4. Improved Reliability
  5. Better Aesthetics
  6. All Around Better Vehicle

Of course, if you don't have a budget, there is a monumental amount of upgrades that you can do. Most petrolheads start with the engine, as they are after the performance. Most people don't realize that while increasing your vehicle's performance, you have to pay attention to its suspension and braking power.

The faster you go, the quicker your vehicle will need to be able to stop efficiently. Also, the suspension comes into play, and you want a car that can handle high speeds around corners or be able to absorb impact if you hit a bump in the road. So we say, if you are going to tune the engine, it's worth spending more and doing the vehicle from top to bottom. 

What Will a CTS Turbo Upgrade Do?

Ideally, the idea behind a Turbo upgrade is to increase the amount of airflow that goes back into the engine. A CTS turbo is not only a better-performing turbocharger but it is made of sturdy material that can handle the high revolutions that the turbo spindle will turn at.

Remember that while your engine rpm's can only reach 10,000 rpm, a turbocharger spins at about 20,000 rpm, so lots of engineering comes into play. Every part of a CTS turbo is engineered to the highest standard. 

The turbo kit is the first truly bolt-on turbo kit for these types of vehicles. In the kit, you will find everything you need to be able to remove the factory turbo and install the CTS one without requiring any modifications. 

In terms of turbochargers from CTS, we suggest the CTS Turbo MQB Boss V2 turbo upgrade kit. To check if your VW or Audi is compatible, you will have to go to the site and check with your car model. In the kit, you will find the following included:

  • CTS Turbo Exhaust Housing 
  • Turbo Wastegate Bracket
  • 4-Ply silicone adaptors
  • Valve adaptor
  • Banjo Bolt Oil Lines
  • Cooling lines for the turbo
  • Installation hardware
  • CTS Billet Turbocharger

Why do we suggest this bolt-on kit? The following features below will make your mind up for you:

  • Capable of 400 to 600 HP, depending on extra mods
  • Bolt-on directly without any modifications
  • Compatible with CTS intake manifold
  • Compatible with OEM turbo outlet pipe
  • Compatible with various downpipes on the market
  • Can tune the existing OEM ECU

How to Maximize Performance

If you want the most out of your turbo upgrade, you will have to change a few things along with the turbocharger. Of course, if they are out of budget, you don't have to go the whole nine yards, but for a stubborn petrol head, it's all or nothing.

Intercooler Upgrade

Changing your intercooler for one with a better design or a thicker core will get the coolest air possible to flow through the intercooler pipes and enter the engine. The cooler the air, the more efficient combustion you have inside the cylinders, and the more horsepower you will produce. 

The only thing you will have to be careful about when choosing an intercooler is whether it will be a direct fit or not. If the intercooler isn't designed for that specific car, the existing brackets will need to be modified and might not fit. 

Luckily, the intercooler upgrade from CTS will fit directly into certain Audi and VWs. Apart from that, the following features set it apart:

  • One of the largest intercooler cores on the market
  • Even air distribution within the intercooler
  • Outside air gets to the radiator without issue
  • Perfect fitment without modification

Injector Upgrade Kit

Now that you've added more air to the intake, you will have to complement it by adding more fuel into the combustion chamber. The CTS multi-port injection kit is once again the perfect solution. Along with bigger injectors, you get an aluminum fuel rail, fuel pressure sensor and a complete wiring harness that incorporates the factory ECU.

The injector kit, and all the other upgrades mentioned, can easily take your vehicle over 500HP. With the injector kit, the latest mapping software will need to be tuned into your vehicle. After that, we suggest installing a downpipe with a complete stainless steel exhaust system and a complete dyno tuning.

According to CTS, the fuel injector upgrade kit is available for the following vehicles:

  • 2015 to 2021 VW Golf
  • 2015 to 2021 VW Golf GTI
  • 2015 to 2021 VW Golf R
  • 2015 to 2021 Audi A3
  • 2015 to 2021 Audi S3
  • To check compatibility with other vehicles, contact the webpage.
