Turbosystems TSX turbo upgrade for IS38
MK7 Golf R and various other Audi / VW / Seat / Skoda 2.0L turbo engines after 2013 have been using the wellknown IS38 turbo, which is not only known for it’s modern design and capabilities – but also for it’s tendency to fail when drive with higher than stock boost pressures. This problem affects particularly earlier production from 2013-> on, but even later units up to 2020 are still fragile when tuned.
For IS38 we have a wide selection of upgrades, hybrid turbos, replacement turbos. Turbosystems TSX is one of the most heavy-duty solutions for high output, solid choice for anyone hunting those 500-600hp figures out of the 2.0T.
This turbo is available in two different models. Inlet pipe seen in the pictures is included only in variant TSX2 + Intake.
Turbosystems TSX1 (> 500hp)
- Dual ceramic ball bearing
- Reinforced 51/63mm billet compressor wheel
- Sturdy 53/50mm turbine wheel
- “Antisurge” Turbosystems compressor housing

Turbosystems TSX2 (> 580hp)
