Description
IHI IS38 GENUINE TURBO 2.0TSI EA888.3 VW GOLF 7 / AUDI A3 / S3 8V / TT 8S / POLO AW
The 2 most common turbo’s which are swapped for the IS38 are the IS12 and IS20 turbos. The IS12 turbo is mounted from the factory on VW and Audi 1.8t MQB engines, and the IS20 is mounted on 2.0t lower output MQB engines. When upgrading any of the following turbos you will need to install new software on your engines computer to properly run the vehicle with an IS38 turbo on it.
When properly tuned the IHI IS38 turbo will give you more power. Often times people are concerned that a larger turbo will cause more turbo lag. While this is a legitimate concern, the IS38 is not drastically larger and will only result in a few hundred RPM difference for max boost, which is hardly noticeable in a real world application.
