Serious Power for the Legendary BMW M57

The BMW M57 3.0 diesel engine is one of the most respected tuning platforms in the diesel performance world. If you’re targeting serious horsepower without sacrificing drivability, the GTB28 Hybrid Turbo is the ideal next-level upgrade.

Designed for factory 218 HP / 231 HP / 235 HP turbo systems, this hybrid turbocharger is capable of supporting 400–450 HP depending on setup and fuel system capability.

It combines rapid spool characteristics with major airflow improvements, making it perfect for fast road, drag and high-performance diesel builds.

Key Benefits

• Supports 400–450 HP potential
• Fast spool response for its size
• Strong top-end airflow
• Plug & play installation (manifold & exhaust side); intake modification required
• Reinforced internals for tuned use
• Excellent for high-power M57 builds

Installation Note: Due to the significantly larger compressor housing and high-flow wheel, this Stage 3 hybrid turbo requires modifications to the air intake system. The factory intake hose will need to be replaced or adapted to fit the larger compressor inlet.

Internal Upgrades Included

Professionally modified with performance components:

• Larger 2nd generation CNC compressor wheel
• Larger GTB28 turbine wheel
• Reinforced 360° thrust bearing system
• Cast housing machining / flow optimisation
• Precision balancing after assembly

Performance Characteristics

The GTB28 is ideal for builders wanting more than GTB22 / GTB25 setups.

Expect:

• Faster response than many large-frame turbos
• Strong torque through mid-range
• Excellent airflow at high RPM
• Sustained boost pressure under load
• Great balance between spool and top-end power
