Volkswagen/Audi really did nerf the Mk8 GTI/8Y A3 with a different style turbo than the Mk8 Golf R/8Y S3!
This installation hardware kit allows Mk8 GTI and Audi A3 owners to upgrade their turbo from the factory Garrett to factory or hybrid Continental. Although Garrett is a great turbocharger manufacturer, this makes what used to be a simple OEM+ turbocharger upgrade for Mk7 GTI/8V A3 owners, a bit more complicated - until now! SHOPICWP makes for a simple swap with the parts and options below.
Upgrade your Mk8 GTI/8Y A3 turbocharger with SHOPICWP today!
