WAGENWERKS™ Division – Performance Enhancement with Registration

Performance enhancement for air-cooled Volkswagens requires experience, technical understanding, and legally compliant implementation.

The WAGENWERKS™ Division stands for reliable tuning with TÜV approval – no show modifications, no solutions that cannot be registered.

👉 More power. More drivability. With registration.

What we understand by tuning

At WAGENWERKS™, tuning doesn't mean maximum horsepower, but rather:

clean power delivery
thermal stability
long-term durability
legal approval according to StVZO (German road traffic licensing regulations)

Every tuning is planned specifically for the vehicle – depending on:

vehicle type (VW Beetle, T1, T2, Brazil Bus)
vehicle weight
gear ratio
intended use (daily driving, touring, performance)

TÜV Inspections & Registrations

The WAGENWERKS™ Division always plans tuning with future approval in mind.

We provide:

technical preparation for individual approvals (§21 StVZO)
support and execution of the approval process
(in cooperation with inspection organizations)
documentation of modifications
coordination with inspectors in advance

👉 No conversion without a realistic registration strategy.

Special Topic: Tuning the VW T1 Bus (incl. Brazil)

Especially with the VW T1 Bus – particularly with Brazilian vehicles – tuning is challenging:

high vehicle weights
thermal loads
often unknown previous conversions

We develop:

high-torque, durable engine concepts
coordinated transmission setups
long-distance suitable solutions with TÜV approval
