Installation is a straightforward swap of the factory turbo using all OEM gaskets and hardware; simply transfer your diverter valve or BOV and wastegate actuator (not included). CTS recommends pairing it with a CTS downpipe and intercooler when upgrading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new unit, no core required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact replacement for the factory IHI IS38 turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded turbine shaft and bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel turbine housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to OEM-spec tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment (tuning required for IS12 and IS20 vehicles; ROW models can vary)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2019 VW Golf\/Sportwagen\/Alltrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2020 VW GTI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2019 VW Golf R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2019-2023 VW Jetta GLI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2018-2021 VW Arteon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2020 Audi A3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2020 Audi S3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2020 Audi TT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2020 Audi TTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHardware required (not included)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e06L253039A — Turbo Inlet Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5Q0253115B — Turbo Outlet Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHT007210 — Turbo Mount Nuts (x4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN90067202 — Turbo Oil Line O-ring (x2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHT006112 — Turbo Oil Line Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHT006113 — Turbo Oil Line Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHT006114 — Coolant Hose O-Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHT006124 — Coolant Hose O-Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHT005558 — Coolant Hose O-Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eProper tuning software must be used when upgrading from a smaller turbo — check with your tuning provider; any IS38 software is compatible.
