The Garrett PowerMAX GT2563S is a direct-fit Stage 1 turbo upgrade for the 2.0 TSI EA888 Evo4 engine. Developed by Garrett for maximum performance within the OEM footprint, retaining the factory mounting, connections, and electronic actuator. During flow tests, this turbo delivers +20% more compressor flow and +37% more turbine flow than the original turbo, with faster response and higher efficiency.
The turbo utilizes Garrett's latest compressor and turbine wheel technology, a Mar-M alloy turbine wheel and a twin-scroll stainless steel turbine housing, resistant to temperatures up to 1050°CResult: more power, better heat resistance and stable performance under high loads.
