Owner reviews for turbocharger

The heart of the CTS Turbo MK6 2.0TSI turbo upgrade kit is the Borg Warner K04-0064 turbocharger. This turbocharger is commonly used in OEM applications such as the Audi S3 available in Europe. The highlights of this Borg Warner turbocharger in our kit is the 'forged mill' compressor wheel, which brings numerous benefits to the enthusiast. The technology used in the production of these turbos provides us with a variety of benefits, reduced compressor wheel weight (faster spool), increased strength, and greater surface area of the compressor wheel. Because of the 'forged mill' technology Borg Warner can increase the effective surface area of the compressor wheel, which results in greater air flow than conventional cast compressor wheels.

I don't have the valve lift K04 but my APR K04 works great. Power and reliablility. I have it on my base 2010 TT Quattro and it is so much more fun now.

I chose the gtx2867. it fits the bill so well.

You could probably get pretty close to your goal with a Borg Warner EFR 6758.

Over the past few years, I was happy with my APR stage 3 + (GT 2871 for TT225) but finally I decided it was time for a change and more power.

I had this for 5000 miles and I'm ready to upgrade to a GT3071R...I was able to get 317 hp and 338 lb-ft of torque with the GT28RS...the GT28RS was very fun, good power and quick spooling, but it lacks power up top, like in highway driving or long straights.

I have had both on my jetta. IMO the 60-1 is not nearly as good of a daily driver as the t3/t4e. The 60-1 took longer to spool but when it hit, it reallly hit. the t3/t4e had a more smooth power band but still had a strong "hit" once fully spooled. You will get more power on the dyno sheet with the 60-1 but you will see more power that you can use on the 60 trim.

The CKRA has a smaller turbo than the CJAA. The CKRA turbo is also more prone to blowing up.

the ckra turbo is absolute garbage. You need to have an upgrade in mind because it's not about IF it'll fail but when. Regardless if it's stock or tuned. It just sucks.

My IS12 turbo's wastegate failed. Thankfully, it was replaced under warranty at 57k miles, even with a stage 1 Apr tune.
