IS38 Upgrade Turbocharger (500+ PS)

The IS38 Upgrade Turbocharger is a high-performance unit designed for tuning TSI/TFSI engines from the VAG group. It’s a direct upgrade over the stock IS38 turbo, offering significantly improved performance and reliability through the use of advanced technologies and premium components.

Key Features:

• Ceramic Ball Bearings – The use of ceramic bearings greatly reduces internal friction, resulting in faster turbo spool, improved durability, and better resistance to high temperatures.

• Larger Compressor and Turbine Wheels – Enlarged wheels allow greater airflow into the combustion chamber, delivering higher boost pressure and increased power potential across the entire RPM range.

• Faster Spool – Thanks to its advanced design and precision components, this turbo reaches full boost much quicker than the stock IS38, minimizing turbo lag and enhancing throttle response.

• More Boost, More Power Potential – The IS38 Upgrade is ideal for enthusiasts seeking significant power gains without needing a complete overhaul of the intake system – with proper supporting mods, this turbo can support up to 500 HP.
