The Garrett PowerMAX™ GT2563S is a direct-fit Stage 1 turbo upgrade for the EA888 Evo4 2.0T platform and has been developed with one goal: more performance within the OEM footprintThis turbo replaces the stock unit without any modifications to the mounting points and maintains OEM-like drivability while significantly increasing flow and efficiency.
During flow tests, the GT2563S delivered +20% more compressor flow and +37% more turbine flow than the OEM turbo. This is made possible by Garrett's latest compressor and turbine wheel technology, including a Mar-M alloy turbine wheel and a twin-scroll stainless steel turbine housing that can withstand temperatures up to 1050°CThe complete unit comes with a calibrated electric actuator for perfect OE fitment and reliable boost control.
Designed for the Mk8 Golf R and Audi S3 8Y; retrofit to Mk8 GTI is possible with the right hardware upgrades.
