Here we are — the first 8R in Slovenia with a forged engine and big G30-770 turbo.
The car’s setup is extensive, here’s a summary of what’s on the vehicle:
- Forged engine with BAR-TEK rods and JE Pistons 9.6:1
- Turbo G30-770 from BAR-TEK
- HG Carbon intake
- HG Motorsport BULL-X 90mm exhaust with TUV certification
- BAR-TEK MPI port 980cc — stock direct injectors
- Flaps delete BAR-TEK
- Oil Catch Can RacingLine Gen 4

- RacingLine intercooler
- HG charge pipes
- 4-inch downpipe HG Motorsport
- ARP HIGH BOOST head bolts

DSG 381.2 got a new bootloader, allowing for transmission remap.
TTRS front brakes 370 mm + AMG rear brakes 356 mm.
The car also features a CAN-checked unit for engine parameters and is lowered on EIBACH Sportline springs (-2.5 cm).
The exhaust flap control is linked to the original system, so driving mode regulates both performance and sound.
Next, the engine will undergo a ~200 km break-in, followed by an oil change and another ~200 km of dynamic driving before we start mapping the car. During this period, the car is running on a base file to ensure safe operation.
