PA IS38 Stage 3 Upgrade Full Frame GTX3076R Ball Bearing Hybrid Turbocharger for Audi A3 S3 8V MQB EA888 Gen3

Precisely built for MQB Gen3 engines, our IS38 Stage 3 Upgrade Full Frame GTX3076R Ball Bearing Hybrid Turbocharger is the perfect option if you are considering taking your car to the next level. This kit has everything you need for 600hp when it comes to a turbo.

Performance Advantages

• Massive power potential — Supports 700+ HP (depending on supporting mods, fuel, and tuning), far beyond what the stock IS20, or IS38 can deliver. Ideal for builds targeting serious street/track performance.
• GTX3076R Gen II style — Features advanced billet compressor wheel (typically 58mm inducer), optimized aerodynamics for up to ~20% more flow vs older GTX designs, high-efficiency turbine wheel, and dual ceramic ball bearings for reduced friction, better response, and higher reliability under high boost/load.
• Billet Compressor Wheel, 58 mm, 9 Blade design — Advanced billet construction for maximum airflow, strength, and efficiency.
• CNC-machined compressor housing — Precisely machined according to the compressor wheel geometry for optimal flow and reduced turbulence.
• High efficiency 55 mm 5+5 Blade turbine wheel — Designed for strong exhaust flow and improved response.
• Ceramic Ball Bearing with Super Finish — Dual ceramic ball bearings (vs stock journal bearings) improve durability, reduce shaft motion, handle higher boost pressures more reliably, and resist the common failure modes seen on factory IS12/IS20/IS38 turbos under aggressive tuning.
• VSR Balanced — Precision balanced on a VSR machine for smooth operation, reduced vibration, and long-term reliability at high RPM.
• True bolt-on / plug-and-play fitment — Direct replacement for factory IS20 or IS38 turbos on MQB Gen 3 platforms. Uses stock oil/water lines, mounts in the factory location, and works with the OEM actuator and most downpipes. No custom manifolds, oil lines, or major fabrication required.
  
• Proven on popular platforms — Designed specifically for MQB EA888 Gen 3 engines (Golf GTI, Golf R, Audi A3/S3/TT/TTS, Seat Leon Cupra, etc.), whether the car originally came with an IS20, or IS38.
