The TTE480+ is the ultimate OEM+ hybrid turbo upgrade from TheTurboEngineers for 2.0 TFSI EA113 engines, such as those found in the Audi S3 8P and VW Golf 5/6 GTI. Designed to deliver over 480 pk with an extremely broad power curve, fast Spool-up and a fully Plug & Play installation. This turbo offers the perfect blend of everyday drivability and track performance – a true Stage 3+ hybrid.
The TTE480+ starts as a brand-new original BorgWarner K04-064, which is completely reworked by TTE. The standard compressor wheel is replaced by a larger billet 7+7 wheel with improved aerodynamic geometry. The turbine side is fitted with a completely new 9-blade TTE High-Flow turbine and shaft, resulting in significantly lower back pressure and lower exhaust gas temperatures compared to the original K04 or the TTE420.
In addition, the exhaust manifold is CNC-machined to the cylinder head flange to ensure a smooth transition between the cylinder head and the exhaust runner, which maximises gas flow and further increases efficiency. A reinforced Motorsport bearing system and an upgraded actuator with spring mechanism ensure maximum durability and rapid response. Each turbo is individually balanced at high speed (VSR) up to 250,000 rpm and supplied with an official test certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much power does the TTE480+ deliver?
The TTE480+ delivers up to 490 pk, depending on fuel and supporting modifications (minimum 450 pk on 99 RON).
Is this turbo Plug & Play?
Yes, fully Plug & Play on vehicles with a K04 turbo, but the original manifold gasket must be adapted to the larger CNC ports.
What is the difference compared to the TTE420?
The TTE480+ has a larger compressor and turbine, lower exhaust gas temperatures, and a much wider power band – ideal for those who want to go beyond 450 pk.
Is ECU tuning compulsory?
Yes, software recalibration is essential to realise the full potential.
Is a balance report included?
Yes, every turbo comes with an official balance test result document bearing the serial number.
