MuchBoost MDI 525 TD5 hybrid turbo, Land Rover Defender 2.5TDI TD5 (220–250 hp)

MuchBoost MDI 525 TD5 hybrid turbo, Land Rover Defender 2.5TDI TD5, 220–250 hp

A bolt-on MuchBoost hybrid turbo for applications including Land Rover Defender 2.5TDI TD5, Land Rover Discovery II 2.5TDI TD5. This upgrade is built for MDI 525 TD5 applications and retains a clean, vehicle-specific installation.

The turbo is based on original Garrett 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 220–250 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.
