Turbocharger OEM Volkswagen or BorgWarner

I went with a BorgWarner S257SXE... 515hp at all 4 wheels on Ethanol at around 21 psi. Spools faster than OEM twins.

man those EFR turbos were fucking lit.

Well, as long as you take care of your turbo chargers,you can drive it for years without having a problem, but if you just abuse it again and again just because you bought it for the power outputs, then ofc it will wear out in couple of years and you have to change the whole turbo which will cost around 1-2.5 lakhs.

Quite a few years ago I bought a Borgwarner EFR6758 for my build, and it was a stellar little unit.

In my case no early sign of upcoming failure. It would throw an EPC light and lose power. Stopping, shutting the car off and restarting clears the EPC light and returns normal function of the car. Same situation will repeat randomly.

I had the ECP light issue in late June on my 2018 R with around 21k miles. The dealer diagnosed it as the wastegate, requiring a turbocharger replacement.

I have this turbo but t4 twin scroll with bigger AR. It is too small on my half Bridgeport 6 port turbo fc.

Turbo 2 of them oem. Water pump 2 of them oem. Can't say I was happy about being forced to switching to toyota corolla hatch.

VW has replaced 2 internal turbos on my wife’s 2018 manual Golf. One at 46k and another at 103k.
