Our 3.0T development has lead up to this. AWE Tuning and G.I.A.C. have been relentlessly testing and re-testing (yes, and then re-testing and re-testing) our Stage 2 Performance Pulley and the accompanying G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Software to ensure that it is sound, worthy of substantial performance increases and ready for the rigors of everyday driving. Testing included everything from pushing the pulley and software to its limit at New Jersey Motorsports Park, to over 2500+ miles of on-street testing, as well as countless 100+ mile journeys in both the heat of summer and freezing Philadelphia winters.

Simultaneously at G.I.A.C., beta testing and torture testing was taking place to ensure durability and functionality. A bi-coastal R&D undertaking.

Now, for the moment you’ve all been waiting for

Let’s get to the power. It is good. Our in house AWE Tuning S4 produced 488 crank HP on race fuel. Daily driving power is equally impressive.



In summary: 488 crank horsepower, 430 crank tq on 100 octane.
