What It Is
A plug-and-play Garrett CR190 turbo, version 2.0, built for North and South American EA288-engine TDIs. It's designed to work directly with KermaTDI tuning to add meaningful power over a stage 1+ setup without requiring data logging or custom calibration work.
Performance Gains
Emissions Compatibility
This turbo is designed to keep the full factory emissions system intact. Flow through the stock emissions equipment is not a limiting factor for this setup.
Important Requirement
This turbo requires KermaTDI tuning to run correctly, and your car's Dieselgate emissions fix must already be completed by the dealership before tuning. It will not work with the original factory software.
What's Included and Required
Fitment
2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf, Golf Sportwagen, Jetta, Passat, and Beetle, and 2015 Audi A3 Sedan, all with the EA288 engine (North and South American models).
Common Questions
Do I need to modify my emissions system to install this turbo?
No. This turbo is designed to work with the full factory emissions system intact.
Will this work with my car's original factory tune?
No. It requires KermaTDI tuning, and your Dieselgate emissions fix must be completed first. It will not run correctly on the original factory software.
Do I need to buy anything else separately?
The turbo install kit gasket set is included. Depending on your model, you'll also need a turbo silencer (all models) and an EGR hose (Beetle, Jetta, Passat).
Does this require data logging to install?
No, this is built as a true plug-and-play setup with KermaTDI tuning, without needing custom data logging.
