A TTE855 Is an original RS3 8V.2/TTRS 8S turbocharger for the DAZA & DNWA 2.5 TFSI EVO engine that we the THETURBOENGINEERS Rework to make a class-leading performance hybrid, yet still being plug & play fitting with an upgrade inlet.
The TTE855 Hybrid turbocharger was the evolution of our highly acclaimed TTE777. Using some key features like a bigger billet compressor and CNC porting and other gas flow improvements.
The compressor wheel is exchanged for a milled aluminum wheel with state-of-the-art geometry, 7+7 blade so producing extra power. Equally, we change the original exhaust turbine for a far larger but very lightweight 9 blade TTE designed turbine, for lower exhaust gas backpressure, giving greater performance. We also fitted a proven TTE motorsport upgrade bearing system for durability.
Boost response as always is focused on when we were designing this unit and it does not disappoint with test results showing 500Nm at only 2620 RPM and 900Nm at 3500RPM!
With the TTE855 stage we have CNC ported the exhaust manifold to match the OEM gasket at the head flange and smooth the transition in each exhaust runner to improve gas speed and flow, so improving efficiency to the much bigger 9 blade low mass turbine and so driving the larger compressor harder. We also made other power modifications with regards to the turbine side of the TTE855 unit to increase gas flow.
If ordering new, we use the latest generation of BorgWarner original turbochargers with the latest spec Audi thermal heat isolation shielding on the exhaust manifold & turbine housing to lower engine bay temperatures and ensure the best performance and safety.
Please note: If you send an older generation turbo, without the original AUDI thermal shielding for the "upgrade" process, we will rework your turbo and return without the shielding, unless you buy the extra thermal Isolation process. Depending on stock availability we may substitute TTE thermal shielding and give AUDI original thermal shielding instead.
The Forge Audi Turbo Inlet Pipe (8S TTRS & 8V RS3) is recommended for Right-Hand Drive Cars.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE STOCK & RS SPORTS EXHAUST SYSTEM IS REPLACED FOR A MORE FREE-FLOWING SYSTEM IF WANTING OVER 600HP DUE TO BACKPRESSURE ISSUES AND WARRANTY COVER. MILLTEK V2 IS RECOMMENDED
Equilibrium
Precisely balancing our turbochargers is a key critical factor to become a TTE upgrade unit as longevity and performance are paramount. Good balance improves acoustics also. Subsequent great care is taken with all TTE turbochargers to achieving our balance standards. Firstly parts are balanced at slow speeds up to 2800RPM in multiple planes using our single parts machine, then components are assembled, and then the CHRA are dynamically balanced, but this time depending on the application at up to 250,000 RPM in multiple planes using our in house VSR machine to acquire the ultimate equilibrium, to a standard far higher than OEM. Each turbocharger is supplied with a serial numbered balance test result document.
Upgrade your Existing Turbo
To upgrade your existing turbo, you will need to send us your non-damaged turbo. The listing price is the cost of upgrading a non-damaged turbo only. If your turbo is damaged, there may be extra cost on top of the listing price, we will provide you with a quote after inspection. All turbo will be closely inspected before the upgrade is carried out. You will also receive a report from our engineer after the upgrade is completed.
