Turbocharger Boost Sensor | VW MK8 GTI, Golf R & 8Y S3 | Genuine VW/Audi

Overview

This OEM Volkswagen boost pressure sensor is a direct replacement for the factory sensor found on the Mk8 Golf R and serves as a popular upgrade for Mk8 GTI owners building higher horsepower applications. With the ability to measure a greater pressure range than the standard GTI sensor, it enables compatible ECU calibrations to accurately monitor and control higher boost levels.

For stock or mild performance setups, the factory GTI sensor is sufficient. However, when upgrading to a hybrid or larger turbocharger, many ECU tuners require this Golf R sensor to support the increased boost pressures used in big turbo calibrations. As a genuine OEM component, it offers factory fitment, reliability, and seamless installation.
