MuchBoost MQB IS38 hybrid turbo, Audi S3 8V (380–550 hp)

MuchBoost MQB IS38 hybrid turbo, Audi S3 8V, 380–550 hp

A bolt-on MuchBoost hybrid turbo for applications including Audi S3 8V, Seat Leon Cupra 2.0 TFSI. This upgrade is built for MQB IS38 applications and retains a clean, vehicle-specific installation.

The turbo is based on original IHI 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 380–550 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.
