Which cars does the PowerMax Stage 1 Turbocharger fit?

Garrett lists the PowerMax Stage 1 Turbocharger for the MK7 2.0L TSI in the 2015-2018 Golf, GTI and Golf R, the 2017-2018 Golf Alltrack, the 2015-2018 Audi A3 and S3, and the Audi TT and TTS from 2014. It replaces the factory IS12, IS20 or IS38 turbo on those cars.

How much power will it support?

Garrett rates it at up to 485 horsepower, or 362 kW, calculated strictly from the choke flow of the compressor map as potential flywheel power. That is the capability of the turbo. Fuel, intake, intercooling and the calibration decide what a given GTI or S3 makes.

Should I choose Stage 1 or Stage 2?

Stage 1 is a GT2260S rated to 485 horsepower with a 185,000 rpm limit, and it keeps the factory layout. Stage 2 is a G25-660 rated to 600 horsepower. Choose Stage 2 only if the fuel system, intercooling and calibration are being built for that level.

Yes. Garrett states that results depend highly on the modifications and tuning or calibration of the car. Fitted to a car on factory software, the Stage 1 turbo will not deliver its potential until the calibration is matched to it.

What is the maximum turbo speed?

Garrett gives 185,000 rpm for Stage 1 and states that running above it is at the risk of the owner, with damage and premature failure possible. The compressor housing is machined for speed sensor kit 781328-0003 with gauge or 781328-0004 without, so shaft speed can be logged during tuning.

Description

Garrett PowerMax Stage 1 Turbocharger for MK7 Volkswagen and Audi 2.0L TSI

Garrett’s PowerMax Stage 1 Turbocharger for the MK7 Volkswagen and Audi 2.0L TSI is a direct-fit GT2260S that replaces the factory IS12, IS20 or IS38 turbo on the Golf, GTI, Golf R, A3, S3 and TT family. Garrett rates it at up to 485 horsepower from the choke flow of its compressor map. It is the step for a GTI, Golf R or A3 owner whose factory turbo has run out on a tuned car. Owners chasing 500 horsepower and beyond should look at the Stage 2, which Garrett rates at 600.

Construction

The turbine wheel is Mar-M alloy and the twin scroll turbine housing is stainless steel, both rated by Garrett to 1050C (1922F). Garrett ships the turbo fully assembled with a calibrated electronic actuator and the ancillary components for direct 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.
