Serious Performance Upgrade
The longitudinal 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI engines are legendary for reliability and economy, but factory power is modest at best. The GT17-series turbo is the main bottleneck. This hybrid rebuild transforms your original GT17 core into a high-flow performance unit capable of 200-230 HP while keeping the factory bolt-on convenience and daily-driver manners.
No custom fabrication. No exotic parts. Just properly engineered hybrid performance.
Why This Turbo Wins
- 200-230 HP potential – massive increase over stock 90–140 HP
- GT17-based hybrid – uses your original core and fitment
- Larger CNC billet compressor wheel – lightweight, precise, high-flow
- Race-spec sport bearings – built for sustained higher boost pressure
- Fast spool, minimal lag increase despite significantly more power
- High efficiency, stronger mid-range torque you feel every day
- Engineered for longitudinal TDI – A4, A6, Passat, Superb, Exeo
- Works on 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI variants

Performance Characteristics
The GT17 platform already spools quickly, that character remains. This hybrid delivers positive boost from low RPM, just like stock, but with dramatically more mid-range presence between 1,800 and 3,500 RPM. The lightweight CNC billet wheel reduces rotating mass, helping transient response between gear changes.
Where the stock GT17 runs out of breath above 3,800 RPM, this hybrid continues pulling strongly past 4,200-4,500 RPM. Overtakes become effortless, and motorway cruising at 130+ km/h no longer feels like the engine is straining. Drivability improves everywhere, not just at peak power.
