Description
Garrett PowerMax™ turbocharger direct-fit upgrades for the Volkswagen and Audi 1.8L/2.0L TSI engine MQB platform are engineered to increase engine performance while maintaining OEM installation specifications. Stage 1 (G2T2260S rated at 485HP) and Stage 2 (G25-660 rated at 600HP) upgrades maximize efficiency and air flow compared to the OEM turbocharger. High temperature, Mar-M alloy turbine wheel and twin scroll stainless steel turbine housings are rated for up to 1050° C. These turbochargers are fully assembled with a calibrated electronic actuator and ancillary components for direct OEM fitment.
The Garrett GT2260S is capable of an overall approximately 17% greater peak power output than the popular IS38 turbochargers found factory on the Audi S3 and Volkswagen Golf R with comparable spool characteristics. Capable of reaching over 485HP, this turbocharger is ideal for individuals seeking above-IS38 power figures while retaining reliability on a stock motor.
Garrett PowerMax turbochargers are a direct fit upgrade and require zero machining or fabricating. The turbochargers arrive install-ready and the included and pre-mounted electronic wastegates come factory-calibrated.
