Tuning is a passion – and it is no longer just about minor improvements to the exterior, but also about upgrading the internal technology. An optimized system with adapted components helps provide more power and a better driving experience. A very special kind of tuning is replacing the turbocharger. In addition to the turbine and bearing components, noticeable upgrades can be made here, especially to the compressor. With a 1.8T Borgwarner upgrade turbocharger, you will be right at the forefront in terms of performance.
In short: The exhaust gas turbocharger consists of a compressor and turbine, which are connected to each other by a so-called shaft. During operation, the engine produces exhaust gases, which are then routed to the turbine and drive it – creating the energy needed for the compressor. Compared to a naturally aspirated engine, the turbo boasts lower consumption – because some of the exhaust gases that would otherwise be released into the ambient air are redirected and converted into energy for more vehicle performance.
Convenient thanks to plug&play solution
As a rule, the turbochargers are plug&play models: this means that the old turbocharger is replaced with the new one without anything having to be modified afterwards. With the exception of the ball-bearing EFR turbos the other models are plain-bearing, which can also be repaired or overhauled. Such plug&play solutions are especially popular in tuning because they can also be installed by hobby mechanics without much experience.
Depending on the model, the turbo fits 1:1 and is simply replaced with the original. All connections are the same as the original, except for the turbo inlet, which may be slightly larger. The software must also be adapted to the corresponding turbo. With the right ECU tuning, up to 300 hp is possible depending on the 1.8T Borgwarner upgrade turbocharger.
We source the turbo from a German Borgwarner distributor, which guarantees the highest stability of the components and maximum function during operation. The U.S. automotive supplier is based in large areas in Europe, Asia and of course the United States. Known among other things for its manual transmissions, hydraulic controls and turbochargers, the manufacturer stands for robust quality that has proven itself – all the way to your automobile! And as a proud supplier of this brand, we also allow our customers to benefit from world-famous quality.
Wide selection for more flexibility
Whether Audi, Seat Leon or even for small turbo conversions up to 1.8L such as G40, Fiat Punto / Uno Turbo – our range of 1.8T Borgwarner upgrade turbochargers is set up extra large for a wide variety of car models. If an upgrade turbocharger is installed, it makes sense to use the following components: A intake hose made of silicone, so that the original intake hose contracts and reduces performance; larger intercoolers, to cool the heated air down better and get more oxygen into the combustion chamber. Also used are larger fuel injectors, a larger fuel pump, upgrade manifolds for more flow, a larger downpipe and a sports catalytic converter to reduce the turbo's backpressure.
