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 not included, but available for purchase separately should you need it. Turbo fits directly in place of OEM unit.
