GARRETT POWERMAX 1 DIRECT FIT PERFORMANCE TURBOCHARGER 2020+ Only Volkswagen Golf R Audi Cupra 2.0L TSI EA888 EVO4

The Garrett PowerMax™ Stage 1 turbocharger upgrade is engineered for enthusiasts seeking increased engine performance while maintaining OEM direct-fitment. Designed for the 2.0L TSI EA888 EVO4 engine found in the VW Golf R and Audi S3, this bolt-on solution increases flow by 17% over the stock turbo, supporting up to 450BHP. Built with a high-temperature Mar-M alloy turbine wheel and fully machined compressor housing, it ensures peak reliability under high boost pressures.

Why We Love This at MGM Leeds

At MGM Leeds, we highly recommend the PowerMax series because it eliminates the "bottleneck" of the factory unit without requiring complex custom fabrication. It offers a perfect balance of daily drivability and track-ready power. Unlike many hybrid turbos, this is a brand-new unit from Garrett, ensuring long-term peace of mind and precision calibration.
