{"product_id":"oem-is38-turbocharger-1","title":"OEM+ IS38 Turbocharger","description":"The HPA OEM+ IS38 Turbo is a meticulously engineered upgrade for the MQB 2.0T platform, designed to surpass the reliability and performance of the stock IHI IS38 turbocharger. This unit is an ideal solution for replacing a failed OE IS38 or as a significant performance enhancement for vehicles equipped with the smaller IS20 turbo, such as the GTI. HPA has invested four years of research and development into redesigning the bearing housing, incorporating a fully upgraded and proven bearing system that ensures 100% reliability, even in high-horsepower applications.\n\nTo combat known weaknesses in the OEM turbo, particularly regarding wastegate durability under high heat and aggressive driving conditions like track days, the HPA OEM+ IS38 utilizes a highly heat-resistant Inconel wastegate. This component is crucial for preventing catastrophic failures where the wastegate could bend or snap. The entire unit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, simplifying installation. While the turbo itself comes with an OEM installation kit and hardware, the diverter valve and electronic wastegate actuator are not included and can be purchased separately.","brand":"HPA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688702308664,"sku":"HVA-241-OEM","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664206264.jpg?v=1784893213","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/oem-is38-turbocharger-1","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
