The TTE360 is the highest power stage that TheTurboEngineers offers based on the original BorgWarner K04 turbocharger for the VAG 1.8T. This upgrade has been developed for drivers who maximum achievable power want within the K04 frame, without making concessions to response, reliability and OEM driving behaviour.
With the right hardware and software, approximately 360 hp feasible. The TTE360 is virtually plug & play, but does require a larger turbo inlet and custom ECU software.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TTE360 completely Plug & Play?
Mechanically, almost. A larger turbo intake is required, and ECU software needs to be modified.
What is the difference with the TTE340?
The TTE360 uses a larger 7+7 compressor and a K16 turbine, which provides more top-end power and lower EGT.
Is this turbo suitable for everyday use?
Yes, provided it's properly tuned and has supporting hardware. The response remains remarkably good for this power level.
