R2P High-Performance Turbo System (650 HP, Ball Bearing) – Maximum Power for VW Golf GTI/R and Audi S3 EA888 Gen3

The R2P RP650-MQB is a high-performance turbo system designed specifically for VAG 2.0 EA888 Gen3 engines. With a ball-bearing CHRA cartridge and a CNC-machined Billet compressor wheel, this turbo offers an immediate response and the capacity to reach up to 650 HP. Ideal for both demanding daily use and competition and drag racing on MQB platform vehicles.

Key features

• Ball Bearing CHRA cartridge – Ultra-fast turbo response and a drastic reduction in lag compared to journal-bearing turbos.
• CNC-machined Billet compressor wheel – Greater airflow efficiency and superior thermal load capacity.
• Stainless steel housing – Withstands extreme temperatures and pressures up to 32 PSI without loss of stability.
• R2P engineering – Stable boost control with an optimized wastegate duty cycle.

Performance and advantages

The RP650-MQB surpasses OEM turbos and budget market alternatives thanks to its ball-bearing technology, which allows it to reach 32 PSI with exceptional thermal stability. While conventional journal-bearing turbos struggle under high pressures, this turbo offers a fast response at low revs and massive airflow at high revs. It is a direct (Plug & Play) replacement on the MQB platform, although complementing it with a high-flow intake and exhaust is recommended to make the most of its potential.

Frequently asked questions

• Is it necessary to forge the engine? Not strictly necessary, as it is designed for a safe power increase on engines with stock internal components, provided the engine management is adequate.
• What type of fuel does it require? It is compatible with conventional 98-octane gasoline and with ethanol blends for maximum performance.
• Does it require modifications for installation? It is a direct replacement for the MQB platform, although complementing it with a high-flow intake and exhaust is recommended.
