Upgrade available for the VW Mk7 / Mk7.5
Golf, GTI, and Audi 8V A3. Give your German-
engineered performance car the power the
Golf R, Audi S3, and TTS come equipped with
from the Audi / VW factory! This is an OEM
turbo for those machines
This turbocharger is a direct bolt-on
replacement for your factory IS12 or IS20
turbo. The only additional modification
required is a software upgrade
(tune/calibration) to match the turbo
upgrade. It is a 100% brand new OEM factory
IS38 turbocharger and the latest revision
With this turbocharger added to your VW or
Audi, you'l be able to achieve your
horsepower goals. After installing this bolt-
on, drop-in turbo you can expect to gain up to
+149 FT-LBS of torque and +170 WHP
bringing the power numbers up to 397hp
403ft-lbs with proper tuning, exhaust system,
intercooler, and intake.
The 2 most common turbos swapped for the
IS38 are the IS12 and IS20 turbos. The IS12
turbo is mounted from the factory on VW and
Audi 1.8t MQB engines, and the IS20 is
mounted on 2.0t lower output MQB engines,
When upgrading any of the following turbos
you will need to install new software on your
engine's computer to properly run the vehicle
with an IS38 turbo on it.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN
UPGRADING TO AN IS38
TURBO?
When properly tuned the IHI IS38 turbo will
give you more power. Oftentimes people are
concerned that a larger turbo will cause more
turbo lag. While this is a legitimate concern,
the IS38 is not drastically larger and will only
result in a few hundred RPM difference for
max boost, which is hardly noticeable in a
real-world application.
