Bolt-On Turbo Solution

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.

Questions

EQT Typhoon FAQ

It can be installed on a stock engine, but the tune has to stay within factory engine limits. It's designed for built engines and high-power builds.

No. The oversized internal wastegate port and actuator geometry keep the factory charge pressure actuator, so it tunes on a stock ECU with a Cobb Accessport or EcuTek ProECU.

The stainless turbine housing fits OE and aftermarket downpipes. The included inlet hose fits many aftermarket intakes, including the AMS carbon fiber intake, and the discharge coupler mates to the EQT 2.5" discharge pipe kit or similar.

Yes. A new EQT actuator can be installed and calibrated at EQT before the turbo ships.

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:
