CTS Turbo BB-550 Hybrid Turbocharger Volkswagen | Audi 2015+
$1799.99
We are proud to announce the release of our premium ball-bearing hybrid turbo with stainless steel exhaust housing for 2015+ MQB platform vehicles.

This high-performance hybrid turbo was designed by CTS engineers to fulfill the demand from customers who desire a direct-bolt-on turbo for their existing IS12, IS20 or IS38 turbocharger. Instead of trying to stuff a CHRA from a Mitsubishi into a factory housing; we re-designed and cast our proprietary STAINLESS STEEL exhaust housing to accommodate a larger turbine wheel. The compressor cover was also custom made and profiled to accept a very popular TD06 Billet compressor wheel, this ensures the turbocharger can reliably handle 30+ PSI. We upgraded the CHRA to a dual-ball bearing which is made from heat-resistant ceramic. Finally, we finished the assembly by balancing it on a VSR high-speed balancer.

This is a brand new turbocharger; no core or long wait times are required. Simply swap over your actuator and turbo outlet fitting for installation. Software tuning is required and it is available from most tuners.

Features:
  • Complete brand new turbocharger; no need for core to be sent it or purchased
  • Dual ceramic ball bearing direct-fit CHRA (compatible with all factory oil and coolant lines)
  • Billet MHI-style TD06 compressor wheel
  • High performance 9 blade turbine wheel
  • Stainless steel turbine housing
  • VSR Balanced to exceed OE tolerances
  • Compatible with most tuning solutions for hybrid turbos (United Motorsport, Eurodyne, REVO, Unitronic, etc)
  • Compatible with OE or replacement wastegate actuators (CTS-WGA-200 actuator recommended)
  • Compatible with OE or aftermarket turbo inlets and turbo outlets
Fitments:
  • Volkswagen Golf/Sportwagen/Alltrack 2015+
  • Volkswagen GTI 2015+
  • Volkswagen Golf R 2015+
  • Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2015+
  • Volkswagen Arteon 2015+

What is CTS Turbo?

CTS Turbo is a manufacturer and wholesaler of performance automotive parts, specializing in late-model Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen vehicles. The company also offers products for Toyota and MINI Cooper models. All CTS Turbo products are TIG welded and constructed using T304 stainless steel.

CTS Turbo prides itself on being a leader in the industry, offering an unparalleled level of high-end products, technical know-how, and customer service. The brand has everything you need to enhance the performance of your car; that includes cold air intakes, catch can kits, turbo kits, and performance exhaust systems. CTS Turbo’s team of skilled engineers and fabricators are dedicated to constantly developing new performance parts for your car to take it to the next level.

CTS Turbo Catch Cans

Oil catch cans are simple devices that can greatly benefit direct-injection motors. They are used to prevent oil and other contaminants from entering the intake manifold and clogging up the intake valves with buildup. Oil deposits on the intake manifold and valves can reduce performance and cause poor fuel mileage. 

CTS Turbo Intakes

Cold air intakes help deliver a smooth entry of cold air directly into the engine to improve performance and acceleration. Using mandrel-bent aluminum intake piping, CTS Turbo reduces unwanted turbulence within the pipes, which would otherwise reduce airflow into the engine. High-flow air filters utilize a cone design for better engine breathing and a great sound too.

CTS Turbo Exhausts

All CTS exhausts are hand TIG-welded using the finest T304 seamless stainless steel designed for both street use and track applications. Other systems use lower-quality materials causing them to crack and decay over time. CTS’ exhaust systems also deliver a tantalizing aggressive sound that produces several smiles per mile. 

CTS Turbo Downpipes

Downpipes are the perfect high-performance replacement for the factory downpipe, which rob your vehicle of its potential power. CTS Turbo’s downpipes feature a stainless-steel construction and built with maximum performance in mind. They are available in race-spec and street-spec varieties featuring Magnaflow catalytic converters.
