Darkside GTD2872VRZK Billet Ball Bearing Hybrid Turbocharger (VZK Housing)
For racing, track and off-road use only. Not for road use.
Completely rebuilt Garrett turbocharger utilizing the latest generation GTD VNT system, ball bearing construction, custom billet compressor wheel, updated turbine wheel and electronic actuator.
The new GTD2872VRZK (Electronic) is one of the most powerful and versatile options for turbocharger upgrades for 2.7 and 3.0 TDI engines. It also replaces the now discontinued GTB2566VZK turbo.
Important note about actuators
VZK turbochargers use two different electronic actuators, and it is not possible to know with certainty in advance which version is used based on the vehicle.
If the supplied actuator does not work directly, you can transfer the black electronics box from your original turbo directly to the new turbo.
Performance and technical advantages
While the GTD2872 sounds like a significant upgrade over the GTB2260VZK unit, the new generation (Gen 5) GTD VNT system, ball bearing and modern wheel profiles ensure:
-
faster spool than in older generations
-
lower exhaust manifold pressures at high rpm
-
high efficiency with high boost pressures
-
better drivability and economy than typical hybrid turbos
This is a direct replacement for the original Garrett GTB2260VZK turbocharger.
The hybrid uses the largest possible compressor and turbine wheels that can be efficiently installed in the GTB2260VZK chassis.
Performance potential
This same turbo is used in Darkside Developments' Seat Arosa, which:
-
without NOS system 400+ hp is achieved
-
Up to 500+ hp with NOS system, with the right support parts
These figures have been achieved under conditions considered safe (injection duration, EGT, EMP).
Key features
-
Significant power increase
-
Better response and performance than common hybrid turbocharger solutions
-
Maintaining fuel economy and drivability
-
Fast spooling, low exhaust manifold pressures (EMP)
-
Made in Europe – no Chinese components
-
Direct installation in place of the original turbo
Installation
Additional notes when ordering:
-
vehicle model
-
exhaust manifold to be used
Based on this, the turbo is already oriented in the correct position.
Note: The direction of rotation of the turbine housing cannot be changed after the turbo has been built and installed.
Delivery time
Approximately 6 weeks , unless otherwise agreed.
Deposit / Exchange turbo
Darkside no longer offers a conversion service for the old turbo into a GTB2872VRK package.
However, a good condition GTB2260VZK turbo will be refunded £250 + VAT if returned within 30 days of purchase.
