MuchBoost GTC1246VZ hybrid turbo, Audi A3 1.6 TDI (160–210 hp)

MuchBoost GTC1246VZ hybrid turbo, Audi A3 1.6 TDI, 160–210 hp

A bolt-on MuchBoost hybrid turbo for applications including Audi A3 1.6 TDI, Volkswagen Golf VI VII 1.6 TDI. This upgrade is built for GTC1246VZ 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 160–210 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.
