Streetwerke is proud to announce the release of our R32 single turbo systems. This R32 is one of the best vehicles Volkswagen has ever produced for the true enthusiast. With a powerful 240hp 3.2L 24v VR6 engine mated to the Haldex all-wheel drive system, the R32 is a very balanced sport hatch from the factory. For those R32 owners that are looking for more performance, we offer the Streetwerke R32 single turbo system. Using the latest in technology, we elevate the performance of your R32 to "supercar" levels while ensuring reliability and drive-ability. With a  performance advantage over a  supercharger kit, our in-house designed turbo systems allows you to transform your R32 into a car that competes with exotic sports cars. To make a complete product offering, we created a few different power levels to choose from. Ranging from 380hp to 620hp, these turbo systems are all intercooled and use the finest technology available today. Technology and experience is the key to making such a solid upgrade for your R32. From the Garrett GT Series turbocharger to APR's industry leading ECU software, Streetwerke has created the highest quality turbo system you can buy for your R32. All power figures are using 91 octane unleaded fuel, unless noted otherwise.

So far, our development GT480 R32 has run the 1/4 mile in 11.8 seconds with trap speeds in the 120mph range at the Waterwagens 2005 car show. This was accomplished with street tires and 100 octane unleaded fuel in 92F conditions. We're proud to announce our victory in the 2005 Eurotuner GP competition, where we won the dyno portion of the event with 555 wheel hp and 633 wheel torque using a GT540 R32. Streetwerke also tied with Stasis Engineering for the overall outright event win. These outstanding results were achieved with a prototype Streetwerke GT540 turbo system running 100 octane unleaded fuel.
