Do you have questions about this product?
The R2P RP550-MQB is a high-performance turbo built to push VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen3 engines to 570 HP. It uses a ball-bearing core to cut lag and sharpen throttle response, plus a stainless steel construction that holds up under hard track or street use. If you're looking for a reliable Stage 3 setup with room to grow, this system delivers the right balance of output and durability.
Features
- 570 HP max output — Serious power for advanced builds.
- Ball bearings — Instant turbo response (ultra-fast spool) with nearly zero lag.
- Stainless steel housing — Superior heat resistance, no risk of cracking like stock cast housings.
- Billet CNC compressor wheel — Machined aluminum for maximum efficiency and airflow.
- Direct fitment (Plug & Play) — Bolts to OEM mounting points on MQB platform.

Performance and advantages
Unlike OEM IS38 turbos or budget hybrids running journal bearings, the R2P RP550-MQB keeps wastegate duty cycle low even at 32 PSI. Its stainless steel construction prevents the cracking common in cast housings, while ball bearings deliver a more aggressive and progressive power curve than conventional systems.
