Availability for pickups could not be loaded
TheStage 2 performance upgrade deliversover535 hpand700 lb-ft of torque.
Our Race Stage, with over 535 hp and 700 Nm, transforms the RS3 into a whole new experience. In addition to optimized fresh air flow through the intake, turbo inlet, and intercooler, we’ve equipped it with an uncompromising 4-inch (101.6 mm) racing downpipe, which drastically reduces backpressure and gets the turbo up to boost pressure noticeably faster.
The massive exhaust side ensures that the high boost pressures of this stage are consistently and reliably maintained at all times—while also delivering an aggressive, sharp sound. During gear shifts and load changes, it produces distinct burst-like pulses, accompanied by backfire moments that make the racing DNA of this stage unmistakable.
In addition to the hardware modifications mentioned above, an individual, fuel-specific software tuning on our in-house all-wheel drive test bench is of course included (incl. input and output measurement)
No hidden costs - installation of hardware, individual software tuning INCLUDED!
Hardware changes:
- HP Sport Series intercooler
- HP 4" 100 mm aluminum intake (select option)
- HP 4" 100 mm aluminum turbo inlet

- Increasing the V-Max according to the installed brake system
- Test drives in real operation for data recording
Note: This stage does not have TÜV approval and is only available as an export version!
IMPORTANT: There is no installation, no individual software tuning and no TÜV registration by HPerformance. This kit only represents the required hardware for the respective performance level. The shipping costs for sending in the turbocharger (if no new one is selected) are borne by the buyer!
Please note: Performance and acceleration values can be influenced by various external influences, fuels or additional hardware installed and ultimately the general condition (including mileage) of the engine. The values given are for guidance only and are not binding. With regard to legality and approval in the area of the StVZO we refer at this point to our general terms and conditions.
Freeflow! Stage 2!
With the new Stage 2 for the RS3 8Y, HPerformance consistently takes the next step - technically enhanced, thermally optimized and emotionally even more intense.
The in-house HP Sport Series intercooler with optimized air ducts keeps temperatures stable even under high loads and thus ensures consistent performance. The HP 4" aluminum intake (100 mm) on the standard turbo inlet - optionally available in other variants - significantly improves the air flow and noticeably sharpens the response.
The TÜV-certified OPF downpipe with a diameter of 100 mm is new in this expansion stage. It lowers the exhaust back pressure, reduces the thermal load on the system and at the same time produces a more powerful, more emotional sound - completely legal on public roads.
The result is a well-thought-out Level 2 with technical depth and emotional appeal – made for everyone who wants to not just ride performance, but feel it.
