Product Details
MK8 GTI Garrett PowerMax Direct Fit Performance Turbocharger:
Introducing the Garrett PowerMax™ turbocharger upgrade for the 2.0L EA888 Evo4 engine platform. Engineered by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, this turbocharger upgrade isn’t just about boosting your engine’s capabilities, it’s also about packaging it into your vehicle’s existing OEM setup. This complete turbocharger with electronic actuator can help the engine produce up to an impressive 447BHP (333 kW), as proven by on-vehicle results.
GTX Gen II compressor aerodynamics increase turbocharger flow by a staggering 32% compared to the OEM turbo. Embrace the future of power with the high-temperature Mar-M alloy turbine wheel, paired with state-of-the-art turbine aerodynamics and a robust twin scroll stainless steel turbine housing capable of withstanding up to 1050°C of heat. Elevate your driving game, and experience performance like never before with PowerMax™.
Features:
- Complete assembly with electronic actuator
- Direct-fit turbo with 447BHP (333kW) capability (on-vehicle results)*
- +32% compressor flow compared to the OEM turbo
- GTX Gen II compressor aerodynamics
- Mar-M alloy turbine wheel and twin scroll stainless steel turbine housing rated up to 1050° C
- Latest generation of journal bearing rotating group with 360° reinforced thrust bearing
- +50% turbine flow compared to OEM turbo
WARNING: Maximum allowable turbocharger speed is 186krpm. The use of this product above max turbocharger speed is at the owner’s risk, and can result in damage and premature failure. To protect the turbocharger from overspeed when operating, a speed sensor port is machined into the compressor housing for the fitment of speed sensor part numbers 781328-0003 (includes sensor and gauge), and 781328-0004 (includes speed sensor). Speed sensors sold separately.
Unitronic Performance Software - Stage 3 - With UniCONNECT+ Cable
Performance Software optimized for use with 93 octane / 98 Ron fuel and the Garrett PowerMax Turbocharger along with supporting hardware bolt-ons. The MK8 GTI Stage 3 Software from Unitronic safely increases power and torque allowing users to enjoy their vehicles to the fullest on the street or on the track without reliability headaches.
Features:
- Optimized Responsiveness, Smoothness, Drivability, and Comfort
- Unitronic’s ECU calibrations are engineered to improve engine response and reduce low-end lag. Unitronic’s Performance Software has gained worldwide recognition and is well known for its broad powerband, with smooth power delivery, maximizing responsiveness and “area under the curve”, under normal and hard acceleration.
- Ignition Timing Precisely Calibrated for Higher Octane Fuel
- Engine calibration optimized to take advantage of higher fuel quality to extract maximum energy from the combustion. Therefore, when using a higher octane fuel, more power and better fuel efficiency will be achieved.
- High-Speed Data Logging via UniCONNECT+
- For customers looking to gain greater insights about their vehicle's true performance, High Speed Data Logging for the SIMOS 19.6 ECU is now built in to the latest UniCONNECT+ Application allowing enthusiasts to collect high speed data logs at the a much higher resolution than any other publicly available tools can offer.
- Start/Stop Memory Enabled
- Unitronic ECU calibrations now include Start/Stop Memory, which enables the vehicle to now remember the last set position. This feature will be rolled out for all tuned files for the MK8 GTI / R, 8Y S3 and more platforms soon.
- OEM Boost Gauge Recalibrated
- By popular demand, Unitronic has now recalibrated the OEM boost gauge to display gauge pressure (absolute press. minus ambient press.) instead of absolute pressure.
- OEM Power Gauge Recalibrated
- Unitronic has now recalibrated the OEM Power Gauge to display true engine power (in kW), which is now representative of actual power output through the rev range of your Stage 3 Performance Software.
- Optimized Maximum Output
- Unitronic’s ECU Calibrators deliver the maximum power output while staying within the operational limits of the factory engine and drivetrain components. Specifically, this results in the highest engine performance without sacrificing the reliability of the engine, turbocharger, or other engine and drivetrain components.
- Factory Safety Limiters Retained
- OEM “fail safes” are retained within the ECU calibration. Close monitoring of all operation parameters ensures that engine operation stays within factory components limits, resulting in reliability.
- Power Delivery Perfectly Optimized Throughout the Power Band
- Aligned with the OEM strategy, the calibration is designed to offer a large flat torque plateau to provide a smooth and linear power band. Maximum torque output is achieved sooner and maintained longer which creates a broader torque plateau and greater area under the curve. This results in an improved acceleration and optimal engine operation.
- Speed Governor Removed
- Vehicle speed limiter within ECU is removed. (Subject to transmission rotational speed limit.)
- Improved Fuel Efficiency
- Optimized timing and injection in cruising condition allows for an improved fuel efficiency, under normalized driving conditions.
- Engineered with Strict Industry Standards
- With over 10 years of experience with Bosch and Siemens engine management systems and calibrations, Unitronic is able to utilize its expertise, industry leading tools and equipment to ensure an optimal calibration; delivering maximum performance, while maintaining complete OEM-like reliability and drivability.
- Extensively Tested Under Various Driving Conditions
- Development begins using Unitronic’s in-house Maha Chassis dyno housed in an environmentally controlled cell; closely monitoring a plethora of operational data, utilizing industry leading calibration tools and resources. Beta calibrations are then tested in street and track scenarios, using multiple cars under various driving conditions. This engine calibration strategy ensures Unitronic Performance Software delivers maximum performance, OEM-like drivability and reliability anywhere in the world. Unitronic Performance Software is only released to its Clients once development is thoroughly completed in accordance to Unitronic’s strict standards.
Unitronic Intercooler, Unitronic Intake System and Unitronic Performance Downpipe are required to achieve advertised power figures safely
- Upgraded Intake (ES4615796)
