The TTE550 is a modern hybrid turbo upgrade from TheTurboEngineers, developed for the Porsche 930 and 964. This upgrade brings the classic air-cooled turbo engine to a contemporary performance level using the latest TTE turbo technology. Designed for a perfect balance of raw power, fast spooling, and long-lasting reliability, with outputs up to 550 hp.
The original KKK turbo forms the basis, but internally everything has been completely revised. The standard supercharger design is replaced by a billet-milled 7+7 compressor wheel (65mm inlet) with advanced geometry, resulting in higher air mass and improved efficiency across a wider rpm range. The standard heavy-duty 12-blade turbine is replaced by a specially designed TTE 9-blade high-flow low-mass turbine (2019 design), which delivers faster spooling, lower exhaust gas temperatures, and significantly less backpressure.
For optimal reliability, the TTE550 utilizes the proven BWTS bearing system, which guarantees long-lasting performance at high boost pressures. Each turbocharger is carefully balanced up to 250,000 rpm using TTE's VSR technology and comes with an official balance report.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much power does the TTE550 deliver?
The TTE550 is designed for power outputs up to 550 hp, depending on tuning, fuel, and supporting upgrades.
Is the upgrade Plug & Play?
Yes, the turbo fits directly onto the original mounting points of the Porsche 930 and 964.
What is the advantage of the 9-blade turbine?
The 9-bladed low-mass turbine reduces back pressure, lowers exhaust gas temperature and significantly improves response compared to the original K27 turbine.
Do I need to perform ECU tuning?
Yes, a software recalibration is required to ensure maximum power and reliability.
Is the turbo delivered balanced?
Yes, each turbo is individually balanced using high-speed VSR technology and comes with an official balance report.
