i30 N (PDe) Hatch - CT500 Package (Stage 1)
Stage 1 for the i30 N hatch: catted downpipe, plugs, BOV and our CT500 tune, fitted and tuned in Clyde. From $2,990.
From $2,990 fitted & tuned.
The CT500 is our Stage 1 for the i30 N hatch and where most builds start. It opens up the exhaust side with a catted Cherry downpipe, adds colder HKS plugs, a GFB blow-off valve, a Whiteline pitch-mount bush and a secondary O2 patch loom, then ties it together with our CT500 tune. It suits the pre-facelift (2018-20) and facelift (2021+) hatch, and it's the base every later stage builds on.
Fitted and tuned at our Clyde NSW workshop. Packages aren't shipped.
What's in the CT500
- Cherry Theta turbo downpipe (catted) (Cherry Tuning)
- HKS MR-Series ruthenium spark plugs (x4) (HKS)
- GFB Mach 2 blow-off valve (GFB). Or upgrade to a GFB Hybrid Dual-Port, Respons or Deceptor Pro II in the builder
- Engine pitch-mount bush (Street) (Whiteline)
- Secondary O2 patch loom (Cherry Tuning)
Fitting and tune
About 5 hours of workshop fitting is included in the price. Our CT500 pre-written tune is included. We load it in the workshop and road-test the car before it goes home. Want pops, ghost cam, idle changes and the like? Add tune options in the builder (+$250). Want it built on the dyno around your exact car, with a dyno sheet to show for it? Choose a custom dyno tune (+$750).
Dyno results
| Car | Stock | CT500 | Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| i30 N PFL hatch | 202 kW / 392 Nm | 232 kW / 503 Nm | +30 kW / +110 Nm |
| i30 N FL hatch | 206 kW / 392 Nm | 264 kW / 505 Nm | +60 kW / +115 Nm |
Power and torque are averaged flywheel figures from our own dyno sheets, collected over several years of tuning these cars. Treat them as a guide, not a promise: fuel, condition, gearbox and how hard you want the tune all move the result.
The facelift hatch gains more from the same parts because its factory turbo is the better one.
Price
$2,990 fitted and tuned, with the pre-written tune.
Labour is included. Already have one of the parts? Untick it in the builder and the part and its fitting come off, and you keep the package discount on the rest.
Build it your way
Swap the BOV for a GFB Hybrid Dual-Port, Respons or Deceptor Pro II, untick parts you already own, or step the tune up to options or a custom dyno tune. Pick pre-facelift or facelift first so the builder shows the right numbers.

Good to know
- Each stage builds on the one before it, so the car stays reliable as the power climbs.
- On DCT hatches (facelift only) the gearbox limits how much torque the engine is allowed to make, so peak torque can sit below these averages. A gearbox tune can be done at the same visit: see our TCU tune.
Next step: CT550 (Stage 2) for the pre-facelift, CT550 (Stage 2) for the facelift. See every stage and car on our stage packages page.
