100% purpose-designed and -built performance turbo for the B5/B6 1.8T longitudinal platform. Introducing the long-awaited DZX-18L series! We have solved the power bottleneck by increasing the A/R of the compressor and turbine housings, finally your 1.8T can reach its response and power potential! 

This turbo uses the same DZX stage 3 rotating assembly that has proven itself in other VAG platforms as the best balance of high output and rapid response, this time wrapped in the new higher flowing TC18L housings! Stage 3 is 350whp capable on pump gas. 

EVERY component of this turbo is a custom-designed upgrade:

• 20% LARGER CUSTOM TC TURBINE HOUSING, ported, with upgrade flapper
• Ultra-quick spooling TC stage3 9-blade TURBINE WHEEL
• 20% LARGER CUSTOM TC COMPRESSOR COVER
• TCX stage 3 ultra-high flow 11-blade COMPRESSOR WHEEL
• CUSTOM TC 1 bar BILLET ACTUATOR
• PERFORMANCE 360 THRUST BEARING and other internals upgraded for greater DURABILITY and LONGEVITY
• The most turbo you should put on a motor without built internals

Hand-built by a master turbo tech in the USA, hand-picked components from the best available vendors, custom DZ6 9-blade turbine made from OE-spec 713C inconel turbines by an OEM manufacturer, calibrated 1bar upgrade billet actuators, hi-temp silicon molybdenum ductile steel turbine housings, and custom 11-blade TCX billet compressor pushes 38lbs./min., 350whp capable.
