The TTE535 IS38 upgrade turbo is the ultimate hybrid turbo for the VAG EA888.3 engines (2.0 TSI / 1.8 TSI MQB). Based on the original IHI IS38, but completely revised with a billet 6+6 blade compressor wheel and a larger 9-blade high-flow turbine . This delivers up to 535+ hp with fast spooling, strong response, and OEM fit.
Thanks to its reinforced 360° TTE bearing package and CNC-machined silencer delete, the TTE535 offers reliability at high power and a more aggressive sound. It's the perfect choice for those looking for Stage 3+ power with plug-and-play installation and maximum efficiency.
