The Garrett PowerMAX GT2563S is a direct-fit Stage 1 turbo upgrade for the 2.0 TSI EA888 Evo4 engine. Developed by Garrett to deliver maximum performance within the OEM footprint, whilst retaining the factory mounting, connections and electronic actuator. In 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 utilises Garrett’s latest compressor and turbine wheel technology, a Mar-M alloy turbine wheel and a twin-scroll stainless steel turbine housing, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1050°C. The result: more power, better heat resistance and stable performance under high loads.
