VAG turbos

VAG turbos cover turbochargers for a wide range of cars and engine platforms from the Volkswagen Group, including Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, and CUPRA. Today, the Volkswagen Group includes these brands as part of the group, and in practice the term VAG is often used specifically for engines, drivetrains, and platforms across these car brands.

Turbochargers for VAG cars are relevant both as a replacement for a worn original turbo and as an upgrade in projects where better spool, higher power, or more stable performance is wanted. This applies to both petrol and diesel engines, where VAG has for many years used turbocharged engines widely in models with TSI and TDI engines. Volkswagen itself describes several TSI engines as turbocharged petrol engines, and its model range has also for many years included TDI engines with turbochargers.

A VAG turbo can therefore be relevant in many different situations. Some are looking for a direct OEM-like solution so the car can get back on the road reliably. Others are looking for an upgrade for an optimised road car or a project with a larger intercooler, downpipe, software, and higher boost pressure. Here, it is important to choose a turbo based on more than just horsepower figures. The turbo also needs to match the character of the engine, the desired spool, the fuel, the manifold and flange setup, and the intended use of the car if the result is to work properly in practice. The last part is a professional assessment based on the fact that VAG covers many different engine families and turbo setups.

At Qualitec, you will find VAG turbos for different needs, whether you are working with Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda, or other VAG-related projects. Whether the goal is a replacement turbo or an upgrade for more performance, VAG turbos are an obvious choice for standard cars, optimised road cars, and more demanding engine builds.
