The CTS BOSS turbocharger upgrade kit is a complete bolt-on big turbo solution for EA888 Gen3 non-MQB engines with the engine codes CPLA and CPPA, as fitted in the VW Jetta 6, the Beetle 2 and the Passat B7. Following an extensive development and testing programme, this kit is now ready for the market.
The biggest challenge was to design a big turbo upgrade that works seamlessly with your existing aftermarket modifications, without the need for bespoke parts, as is the case with an IS38 swap. The engineering team achieved this using the latest 3D rapid prototyping technology. The final prototype was fitted and tested in CTS’s own 2017 VW Jetta.
Installation is straightforward: remove the original turbocharger, reuse the original Wastegate actuator and fit everything using the supplied mounting hardware. You will, however, need to update your tuning software to Unitronic Stage 3. This high-quality 67 mm turbocharger with dual ball bearings and reverse rotation has been developed for customers who want a direct bolt-on turbo for the EA888 Gen3 platform. The turbo offers a perfect balance between Spool time and a power output of over 400 hp.
The CHRA is fitted with dual heat-resistant ceramic ball bearings and the assembly has been finished on a VSR high-speed balancing machine. The result is a reliable 400 hp on the standard 93-octane fuel system straight from the pump. The CTS-TR-2000 requires specific software tuning, which is now available via Unitronic Chipped, exclusively for the 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Jetta with manual or DSG transmission. performance software for your ECU box code is subject to availability and is only available for models with SIMOS 18. On cars with DSG, Stage 2 TCU performance software is required.
