Increase Power on Volkswagen MK7 Golf GTi / R with Turbo Upgrade !
You can easily gain more power out of your 7th generation Volkswagen Golf GTI or R. There are three powerful bolt-on turbocharger options available for VW and Audi vehicles that will take your speeds to the next level. Let’s examine the benefits of a VW turbo engine and talk about some bolt-on models available right now.
Benefits of VW Turbo Engine
Before you purchase a turbocharger for your Volkswagen or Audi vehicle, you need to know why it’s a good buy. When you install a turbocharger, you gain two significant advantages. First, the engine receives more power density. The turbo gets connected to the engine and provides more power. Small engines can output a lot of torque and horsepower as a result.
In addition, the turbocharger helps the engine to run more efficiently. Turbos take the hot expelled air from the engine and use it to drive the turbine. This process spins the air compressor that is pushing extra air into the cylinders. With this additional air, more fuel can burn each second, producing more power. Not only does this reduce the amount of waste produced, but it creates a more efficient process than compared to a naturally aspirated engine.
Now that you understand why owning a VW turbo is vital, it’s time to look at VW turbocharger options and discuss the differences between the three from Tomioka Racing, so that you can find the appropriate model for your needs.
Tomioka Racing TR IHX475 Turbo Kit
We carry this exceptional turbocharger that allows you to gain more power for your Volkswagen and Audi models, including the 2015+ GTI models. This bolt-on turbo upgrade kit gives you massive power without swapping out the original intake, intercooler or downpipe. Tomioka Racing crafted this turbocharger from the stock IS38 housing but increased the volume to accommodate better, larger bearings, turbine and compressor wheel.
In addition, this VW turbocharger comes with a newly-designed aluminum inlet pipe, as well as a full billet CNC machined diverter valve. Thanks to the lightweight stainless steel construction, you get more performance when compared to the cast iron design of a standard IS38. This unique design also leads to better heat retention.
Top Features Include:
- Stainless steel exhaust housing
- Stronger, larger center shaft
- Large exhaust turbine and compressor wheel
- VSR balanced
- Superior heat retention
- Compatible with both IS20 and IS38 wastegate/diverter valve
- Max power rating: 475 HP

Tomioka Racing TR IHX600 Turbo Kit
Bigger will always be better when it comes to your VW or Audi vehicle. Tomioka Racing had so much success with the IHX475 that they released a better version for the EA888 MQB Engine. This IHX600 turbo kit features many of the same benefits as the lower horsepower version but with more oomph. It also remains completely bolt-on for an easy installation.
The company chose not to put new internals into the stock IS38 housing. Instead, they constructed a new housing that uses custom internals for superior performance. If you want more power out of your EA888 1.8T/2.0T engine and VAG MQB platform modular chassis, you won’t be disappointed. This VW turbocharger offers more power, extreme durability and offers high-boost excitement.
Top Features Include:
- Stainless steel exhaust housing
- Stronger, larger center shaft
- Large exhaust turbine and compressor wheel
- VSR balanced
- Superior heat retention
- Compatible with both IS20 and IS38 wastegate/diverter valve
- Max power rating: 600 HP
Tomioka Racing DCBB TR IHX675 Turbo Kit
This upgraded VW turbocharger features dual ceramic ball-bearing technology (DCBB). It also contains a point-milled race billet compressor wheel to guarantee more power to your EA888 1.8T or 2.0T engine. Compared to the IHX475 and IHX600, this model provides faster spooling and more power. It also contains a larger housing area to deliver 675 horsepower. Of course, this unit remains completely bolt-on to decrease installation times.
Top Features Include:
- Enlarged stainless steel exhaust housing
