About this homepage
Established in 1946 as a tuner of the classic VW Beetle,
Oettinger Krafttechnische Spezial Anstalt was the beginning of a
wellknown tuner for Volkswagen. As time went on, Oettinger kept on developing solutions
for VW and Audi under the name
of Dipl-Ing. G. Oettinger GmbH & Co KG.
Whereas most solutions incorporated the oldskool tuning
thorugh capacity increases, some engineering also introduced
technical solutions on offer in advance of Volkswagen and Audi themselves. A milestone at
this is the Golf GTI 16S, a
model featuring the inhouse Sechzehnventiler head which gave the mk1 GTI a fisty
136hp and a qualification for
Group 4 homologation. Since Audi had the same engine-specifications, in 4 and 5 cylinder
form that is - they too got
tuningkits done.
This homepage has as purpose to display the technical
aspects of oldskool tuning done by Oettinger for the watercooled
Volkswagen and Audi products. At first it will present an overview for the different
segments, but the plan is to incorporate
more accurate, technical data on the kits as time goes on.
