9 second 1/4-mile capable Turbocharger
Here is the latest record breaking video of our customer George Dossantos' very dialed in Audi S3 running our Vortex XL on E85 with a completely stock engine and transmission to a world first 9sec 1/4 mile pass. This is an aggressive tune for a stock engine, but we're still limiting torque to try to keep the internals together. Besides being a daily driver, this car also gets abused regularly on the drag strip.

Direct Bolt-On Turbocharger
Our EQT Vortex is a complete bolt-on turbo, manufactured with all new components and including new installation hardware. The EQT Vortex turbo line is sized to be a perfect match with the factory engine internals and control systems. The housings are modeled after the OEM IS20/IS38 turbochargers for proper fitment, but they are all brand-new, original castings made and machined specifically for the compressor and turbine wheels we use.
The result? A direct bolt-on turbocharger for the MQB 1.8T and 2.0T platform that offers excellent spool and response throughout the powerband, along with a very flat torque curve that carries nearly to redline.
