Description

***Typhoon outlet pipe is not compatible with the Unitronic pipe kit due to length difference.***

Introducing our latest and greatest flagship turbocharger from EQT!

**Torque electronically limited to preserve DSG gear set integrity.

We have had several customers turning up the heat with this turbo. One such customer is Pacortech who installed our Typhoon on a STOCK MOTOR car and ran 9.91@119.68mph while slamming on the brakes. This is clear on the second dragy slip below where you see the acceleration drop hard before the end of the 1/4 mile run, and was done to not get kicked out of the track for being too fast without proper safety equipment. While it is not recommended to run this turbo on a stock motor, it can be done and run well with proper tuning limits to preserve the engine. Below are just a few results from this amazing run:

The Best Bolt-On Turbo For MQB Cars

The EQT Typhoon, this turbo is designed for built engine/ high horsepower applications and should not be installed on a stock engine car. This 74lb/min turbocharger is very capable of generating over 700whp+ and well into the 550ft-lbs of torque range. While it CAN be installed on a stock engine special care must be taken during the calibration to prevent exceeding factory engine limitations.

The EQT Typhoon turbocharger is a Stock Location replacement turbocharger and features an all new stainless steel turbine housing specifically designed to fit our turbine wheel and also manufactured for fitment with OE and aftermarket downpipes.

Our in house development and testing with this flagship turbocharger produces some quite impressive results in a simple package that can be installed without any additional hardware or fabrication!

Pushing the Limits of MQB Cars

EQT Typhoon Technical Features

Compressor Cover

The Compressor Cover on the Typhoon is equipped with a 3" inlet and 1.5" outlet to allow maximum flow through the ported shroud to the 2618 billet compressor wheel which generates a ton of airflow allowing power levels to be pushed upwards of 660whp! It's also provisioned for an OE Diverter valve and mounting bosses for the charge actuator for easy installation of your original hardware, or a new EQT actuator which can be pre-installed and calibrated at EQT before shipment.

Compressor Wheel

During the development phase of the Typhoon, we experimented with many different wheel packages and designs and eventually landed on a custom billet 2618 extended tip compressor wheel measuring 61.4mm on the inducer and 88.3mm at the far edge of the extended tip design.

Ball Bearing Center Section

The wheels rides on a larger central shaft for optimal strength and is supported by our dual ball bearing center housing rotating assembly to promote longevity and great spool up.

Turbine Housing

The Turbine housing on the Typhoon is provisioned with an oversize internal wastegate port to maintain the factory charge pressure actuator allowing seamless integration and tuning with a stock ECU based system such as Cobb AccessPort and EcuTek ProECU. Special attention was also taken in regards to the wastegate actuator geometry as well as the position and lengths of the arm to ensure optimal control over boost pressure while using an OE actuator.

No special standalone boost controllers are needed for this powerhouse of a turbocharger.

Turbine Wheel

On the opposite side of the dual ball bearing center section sits our special turbine wheel measuring 55mm on the inducer, and 60mm at the exducer.

Boost Response

The unique combination of an advanced aero 7+7 compressor wheel, and 55mm turbine allows us to reach full spool by 4500rpm and carry power all the way out to 8,000rpm with ease!
