MuchBoost VNT18/20 BIG SHELL hybrid turbo, 260–280 hp (GT1860V 1.9/2.0TDI)
A bolt-on MuchBoost hybrid turbo for VNT18/20 BIG SHELL applications. The upgrade retains a clean installation while providing more capacity than the factory turbo.
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 260–280 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.
