The TTE535 IS38 upgrade turbo is the ultimate hybrid turbo for VAG EA888.3 engines (2.0 TSI / 1.8 TSI MQB).

This delivers up to 535 hp+ with fast Spool-up, strong response and an OEM fit.
Thanks to the reinforced 360° TTE bearing assembly and CNC-machined silencer delete, the TTE535 offers reliability at high power outputs and a more aggressive sound. The perfect choice for those seeking Stage 3+ power with plug-and-play installation and maximum efficiency.
