The company also offers transmission upgrades.

We know that the eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf GTI will soon be available in European showrooms. However, Mountune offers a new stage 2+ upgrade package to give the model an extra power boost. Hot hatch buyers can get 380 horsepower (283 Kilowatts) or 376 pound-feet (509 Newton-meters) at PS2,099 (current exchange rate: $2,608)

The IS38 turbocharger is key to power upgrades. It is the same part that gives you theGolf RIt boosts. Mountune can also make a customized calibration for the engine in order to get the best out of the turbo. The handset allows owners to select from different settings including stock, valet and anti-theft. Mountune offers a choice of an upgraded clutch for manual models, or revised software to the dual-clutch transmission.

Customers who live in hot areas or plan to drive the car hard, such as on the track, should consider adding an induction system and turbo-back exhaust. These components are not included in the Stage 2+ kit.

Mountune offers the upgrade in a package that can be installed in a garage. Mountune also offers a UK shop that can do the work if you aren’t comfortable with changing the turbo on your own.

The eighth-gen GTI, meanwhile, has a turbocharged 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine with 241 horsepower (180 kW) & 273 lbft (370 Nm). You can choose between a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Upgrades to the chassis include an upgraded DCC system, which takes into account steering, braking and acceleration when adjusting adaptive dampers. There’s an optional 10.2-inch screen with navigation and an infotainment display.
