When Stage 1 isn't enough. Hardware and software from the same workshop, matched and logged together.
A Stage 1 remap works with your standard turbo. Stage 2 is where the hardware changes: a hybrid turbo that flows more air, injectors that can deliver the fuel, a clutch that can hold the torque, and a custom map that ties it all together. Get any one of those wrong and the build will smoke, slip or overheat.
Because we develop and sell the parts as well as write the maps, the whole build is matched under one roof. You're not trying to get a turbo from one place, injectors from another and a map from a third person who's never seen the car.
Further than most people expect. Our own Mk4 makes 449bhp on diesel alone, and customer builds like a 400bhp-plus Fabia vRS have left here too. The right target depends on budget, how the car will be used and how much you want to keep it daily-friendly — that's the conversation we have before anything is ordered.

Budget, power goal and how the car's used. Daily, weekend or track.
Turbo, injectors, clutch and supporting parts matched to the target — nothing you don't need.
Fitted in our workshop, or supplied if you're fitting yourself.
Written for the parts, then logged and refined on the road until it's right.
“First time ever using AR Performance and I can now say I own a 400+ BHP Fabia vRS. The car is phenomenal! Approached AR Performance with a budget and what I wanted of my build, and just like that it happened. The work certainly does speak for itself.”
“Great service, very knowledgeable when it comes to fault finding and has a very keen eye for detail! Highly recommend!”

Usually, yes. A hybrid turbo flows more air than standard injectors can match with fuel. We'll recommend a size that suits the turbo.
Yes. Tell us exactly what's fitted — turbo, injectors, clutch, intercooler — and we'll confirm what it's capable of before you book.
It can be. A Stage 2 build can be mapped to be smooth and clean on the road; the target is set with you before we start.
It depends on your engine and goal. The comparison on each GTB turbo page shows where each one sits.
