Boost Your MQB Performance to the Next Level
GC Stock-550WHP / GC+ Stock-600WHP
Ready to take your MQB-powered platform to new heights? Don’t want to deal with core charges, long lead times, or restrictive factory housings? Look no further! VTT has you covered with our 100% new casting V2 “GC” turbocharger upgrade.
We start by preserving the great design elements of the factory turbo and improving upon the less optimal features such as the small factory inlet area, turbo muffler on the outlet, bearing housing oil structure, thrust bearing, and more. This is not your basic IHI CHRA. We completely revamped the bearing structure with a new turbine shaft and journal bearing, making it larger than anything in the IHI IS20 or IS38 family. This truly is a custom unit. We also increased the thrust assembly significantly to handle increased thrust loads.
Key Design Elements:
- All-new castings with factory restrictions removed: No oversized wheels stuffed into factory housings.
- 310 Stainless Steel Turbine Housing: Ultimate in heat and corrosion resistance.
- 60mm 9-blade Superalloy Mar-M 246 Turbine Wheel: Latest aero technology for increased flow while maximizing spool.
- 71 or 76mm 9-blade “Point-Milled” Compressor Wheels: Latest aero technology to maximize flow while virtually eliminating surge.
- Direct Connection to All Factory Lines: Including oil, water, downpipe, and factory charge pipe.
- Reliable 550-600+ WHP Support: With amazingly fast spool. Same size G30-770/900 wheel combo.
- Redesigned Turbocharger Inlet: Full flowing 3” hose connection. Redesigned outlet with no turbo muffler.
- Improved Internal Components: Including bearing housing oiling, upgraded internal bearing structure to 8mm Turbine shaft, Journal Bearings, and redesigned thrust bearing with larger thrust pieces to handle extra thrust loads.
- Enlarged Wastegate Bore: Helps keep back pressure down and ensures precise boost control.
- No Core Charges: The new unit is sold outright. Keep your old unit in case you want to revert to stock or sell it to recoup your investment.
- No Long Lead Times: Once fully released, production units will be on the shelf for same to next-day shipping (please inquire about stock levels when ordering).
- Full 12-month Unlimited Mileage/No Hassle Warranty: If you have an issue, we will replace the unit, no questions asked.
Turbocharger Purchase Includes:
- 1 – VTT “GC”/”GC+” Turbocharger
- 1 – 3” Silicone Inlet Adapter
As with any turbocharger upgrade, it should be coupled with complementary upgrades such as fuel system upgrades, intake, downpipe, intercooler, tune, etc. While you will see gains going from stock turbo to a GC with no other changes, to realize the full potential of the upgrade, other parts/tune must be added.
Fitment:
- VW MK7
Every VTT turbocharger comes with a 1-year limited warranty. Please read our Warranty / Emissions Disclaimer for more details.
