Since the first track day at Donington Park<\/strong><\/a> last month, we\u2019ve seen plenty of areas for improvement for the Golf GTI. The first of which is power. With the stock IS20 turbo running out of steam on the long straights at Donington, it was apparent that a punchier turbo was going to be needed to fulfil the demands of experienced racing driver, Rob Baker, who is also the owner of Area Motorsport<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is where HPA Motorsports<\/strong><\/a> stepped in. They\u2019ve joined forces with us in this build to help us transform the Golf into a fully fledged track day warrior! HPA Motorsports<\/strong><\/a> have been researching, testing and engineering tuning parts for over 30 years for VAG cars. During this time, they\u2019ve competed and had a success in various championships and races, demonstrating the quality and performance of their products.<\/p>\n

HPA Hybrid Turbo<\/a><\/h4>\n

HPA supplied us with a myriad of parts from their range to help us go faster, the first of which is their OEM+ IS38 hybrid turbo upgrade kit<\/strong><\/a>. This turbo features an upgraded and redesigned bearing system that has been proven out on the road up to 420hp. Each turbo benefits from precision CNC machining of the exhaust and intake housings and include a HPA proprietary mixed-flow turbine wheel and CNC machined billet compressor wheel which provides better spool and anti-surge characteristics. What\u2019s great is that HPA promise OEM+ quality, which is vital for us as the car is used hard on track and the stock IS20 turbo has already suffered from a crack!<\/p>\n
