MuchBoost EA288 2.0TDI hybrid turbo, Audi A4/A4 Allroad/A4 Quattro B8 2.0 TDI, 260–300 hp
A bolt-on MuchBoost hybrid turbo for applications including Audi A4/A4 Allroad/A4 Quattro B8 2.0 TDI, Audi A4/A4 Quattro B9 2.0TDI. This upgrade is built for EA288 2.0TDI applications and retains a clean, vehicle-specific installation.
The turbo is based on original BorgWarner housings. The upgraded compressor and higher-flow turbine sides provide considerably more capacity than the factory unit, while the housings are precision-machined for the new internals.
Depending on the selected version, the manufacturer rates the turbo for approximately 260–300 hp. Final output depends on engine condition, the fuel system, intake, exhaust, cooling and, above all, the ECU calibration.
An upgraded turbo always requires vehicle-specific ECU calibration.

Before ordering, check the engine code and the identification numbers on the original turbo. If you are unsure about fitment, contact us with the VIN and the old turbo numbers and we will help verify the correct version.
Tip: Ask us for the gaskets, bolts, oil lines and other installation parts at the same time. A new turbo should not be installed with a restricted oil feed or leaking gaskets.
MuchBoost turbochargers carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing and material defects. The warranty does not cover failures caused by external factors such as lubrication problems, unsuitable engine calibration or installation errors.
