Will the PowerMax GT2563 Turbocharger fit my Golf R?

Garrett lists the PowerMax GT2563 Turbocharger for the 2022-present Golf R in North America with the 2.0L EA888 Evo4, replacing factory turbos 06Q145703F, 06Q145703G and 06Q145703H. The earlier Mk7 Golf R uses a different engine generation and takes the PowerMax MK7 turbos instead.

How much power did Garrett see on a car?

Garrett reports 520 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque on a vehicle with a conservative tune, against a turbo capability rating of 550 horsepower. Those are figures from that test, not a promise for every car, and Garrett states that results depend heavily on the modifications and calibration of the vehicle.

Yes. A turbo with 20 percent more compressor flow and 37 percent more turbine flow than stock only adds power when the calibration asks for it, and Garrett reached its published result with a tune. Plan fuel and intake support around the power target as well.

What is the turbine side made of?

Garrett uses a Mar-M alloy turbine wheel and an internally wastegated stainless steel turbine housing, both rated to 1050 degrees Celsius. The wastegate channel in the housing is optimized for higher flow and boost control, which matters on a turbo flowing this much more than the factory unit.

What is the overspeed limit?

Garrett sets the maximum allowable speed at 177,800 rpm and states that running above it is at the risk of the owner and can cause damage and premature failure. The compressor housing takes the G-Smart Bluetooth module 923586-0003 or speed sensor kits 781328-0003 and 781328-0004, all sold separately.

Description

Garrett PowerMax GT2563 Turbocharger for Mk8 Volkswagen Golf R 2.0L EA888 Evo4

Garrett’s PowerMax GT2563 Turbocharger is the direct-fit upgrade for the 2.0L EA888 Evo4 in the North American Mk8 Volkswagen Golf R, sized with 20 percent more compressor flow and 37 percent more turbine flow than the factory turbo while keeping the original footprint. Garrett rates it at 550 horsepower of turbo capability and reports 520 horsepower and 425 lb-ft on a vehicle with a conservative tune. That is a large step for a Golf R and it suits an owner with fuel, intake and a calibration planned around it. For a car that stays on its factory software, it is more turbocharger than the engine will use.

Materials and Design

The turbine wheel is Mar-M alloy and the stainless steel turbine housing, internally wastegated, is rated with it to 1050C (1922F). Garrett reshaped the wastegate channel for higher flow and better boost control and reinforced the integrated thrust bearing for this application. The turbo ships complete with a calibrated electric actuator for factory fitment.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
