If you're looking to give your Audi or VW a serious boost, this turbo upgrade is the real deal. We're talking about a Direct-Fit Stage 1 Upgrade that fits a range of models like the Audi A3, S3, TT, TTS, and VW Golf variants including the Base, AllTrack, GTI, and R. It's all about that perfect fit, and this complete assembly comes with a calibrated electric actuator and all the necessary components to make installation a breeze.
Now, let’s get into the juicy specs. This bad boy can handle up to 485 flywheel horsepower—that’s some serious power you can actually feel on the road. Compared to the stock IS38 turbo on the Golf R, you’re looking at a solid 17% increase in flow. The GTX Gen II compressor wheel is where the magic happens, enhancing the airflow and efficiency like you wouldn’t believe.
Durability? You bet. The turbine wheel is made from Mar-M alloy, which can take the heat—rated for up to 1050°C. The stainless steel turbine housing matches that heat tolerance, ensuring it can handle whatever you throw at it. Plus, it’s got a fully machined speed sensor port, just in case you want to get a bit more technical down the line (you’ll need to grab the Speed Sensor Kit separately: ATP-ACS-032).
When it comes to the rotor group, we’re talking the latest generation of journal bearings. And that 360-degree thrust bearing is reinforced specifically for this application, so you know it’s built to last.
As for fitment, if you own an Audi A3, S3, TT, or TTS from 2014 to 2018, or a Volkswagen Golf Base, AllTrack, GTI, or R from the same years, you’re in luck. This upgrade is designed to slot right in without a hitch.
