The Bar-Tek 2.0L TSI EA888 V3 Tuning Kit K04 is a tuning package designed for 2.0 TSI EA888 engines, clearly intended for performance levels above standard and lighter upgrades. The V3-level K04 setup is designed for applications where original components are no longer sufficient to reliably support increased airflow and fuel demands.
The package is rated for power levels of up to 500 horsepower (500 hp / approximately 368 kW) in a properly implemented setup. Bar-Tek's approach is based on component compatibility and mechanical durability, not on maximizing the load on individual parts.

Technical overview
In the V3-level K04 setup, the air intake, turbocharger, exhaust side, and fuel supply are dimensioned to support significantly higher loads than the standard solution. The K04 turbo offers greater flow capacity than the original turbo, while maintaining an installation solution compatible with the EA888 engine architecture.
The exhaust manifold and pressure-side components have been selected to reduce flow restrictions, and larger injectors ensure sufficient fuel delivery throughout the operating range. The entire system is built so that individual parts do not become limitations to the system.
Compatibility
Suitable for 2.0 TSI EA888 engines in several VAG group vehicles, including:
Compatibility must always be confirmed based on the EA888 version (Gen / V3), engine code, and vehicle-specific equipment before ordering.
