EQT Vortex XL

Building upon the success EQT had with the standard EQT Vortex, we now offer the Vortex XL model. The key difference in the Vortex XL is a larger turbine housing. While the standard EQT Vortex uses a turbine housing based on the IS20 turbo to achieve unrivalled spool, the Vortex XL uses a larger housing based on the IS38 to allow for more top end flow. The result is that the Vortex XL spools 300-400RPM slower, but offers an extra 20-40whp depending on fuel and setup. The XL can hit 30psi by 3400RPM and can hold up to 35psi all the way to redline!

With the Vortex XL, EQT have now seen up to 600whp along with low-mid 10 second 1/4 mile times. The Vortex XL turbo currently holds the 1/4 mile record for any IHI based bolt-on turbo for the MQB platform, while still being one of the best spooling options on the market. The record pass was a 10.46 @ 131.5mph and was accomplished at only 30psi on EQT stock motor and stock transmission shop car.
