EA888 Gen.3 MQB – Garrett turbocharger with state-of-the-art technology

The turbo looks sporty already from the outside – but its state-of-the-art technology is concealed under its casings. The trick is an extremely high-quality, reverse-rotating Garrett GT2260S core assembly with a MAR-M exhaust gas turbine wheel. The milled, forged compressor wheel is from the latest series from Garrett, the GTX Gen II series, meaning it’s state-of-the-art.

The compressor housing has been designed to be compatible with most tuning articles available as accessories. For example, the electrical Turbosmart blow-off valves fit on the turbocharger without any changes. The intake opening in front of the compressor wheel is coordinated perfectly with the turbocharger and is supplied together with a fitting inlet.

Features:

• Bolt-on turbocharger with all connections
• Calibrated wastegate actuator motor
• Gen II GTX milled, forged compressor wheel
• 17% higher flow rate than a standard IS38
• Cutting-edge turbine geometry from MAR-M for up to 1,050 °C
