TPE550 is our latest hybrid performance upgrade turbocharger based on the Original IS38 turbocharger for the 3rd generation VAG 2.0TSI

 

 

Engineered & Enhanced  EA888 Gen 3 - IS38

 

To construct a TPE550 we change the original compressor and employ a far larger and more efficient billet wheel with extended tip technology and mill the compressor cover to optimum gap to match the new compressor profile. We replace the original IS38 turbine and CNC mill the turbine housing to install a larger lightweight 9 blade turbine for greater gas flow.  We also replace the original thrust bearing with an upgraded 360 deg.

  

Our 9 Blade turbine has lot of benefits like greater gas flow, reducing back pressure and lowering exhaust gas temperatures, allowing safer higher boost levels.

 

Equilibrium

Precisely balancing our turbochargers is a key critical factor to become a TPE upgrade unit as longevity and performance are paramount. Good balance improves acoustics also. Subsequent great care is taken with all TPE turbochargers to achieving our balance standards. Firstly parts are balanced at slow speeds up to 2800RPM in multiple planes using our single parts machine, then components are assembled and then the CHRA are dynamically balanced, but this time depending on application at up to 250,000 RPM in multiple planes using our in house VSR machine to acquire the ultimate equilibrium, to a standard far higher than OEM. Each turbocharger is supplied with serial numbered balance test result document.
