Stage 2 Billet Turbo Upgrade — Mercedes-AMG GT (R190)

The Stage 2 Billet Turbo Upgrade is the largest factory-housing turbo upgrade available for the M178 4.0L V8 BiTurbo — engineered for serious power while keeping true bolt-on fitment in the AMG GT.

Built for high-boost street cars, track builds and setups planning for more power later, the Stage 2 turbo dramatically increases airflow through custom billet internals while retaining OEM-style installation.

What Makes the Stage 2 Turbo Different

Built around the largest turbo configuration that still fits inside the factory housing footprint — massive airflow capability without the complexity or fitment problems of a full custom turbo system.

• Largest factory-housing turbo available for the platform
• Billet compressor wheel — 55mm inducer / 73mm exducer
• High-flow turbine wheel — 55mm
• Fully bolt-on installation

Technical Specifications

Stage 2: compressor 55mm inducer / 73mm exducer · turbine 55mm

Factory turbo, for reference: compressor 41.7mm inducer / 56mm exducer · turbine 44.5mm / 50mm · A/R 0.57

The size difference shows how much additional airflow capacity this upgrade provides over stock.

What These Turbos Need

The turbo will physically install on a stock car. It will not make its numbers on one.

• Exhaust: catless downpipes
• Cooling: CSF 8187 auxiliary radiators, Wagner intercooler kit
• Intake: cold air intake kit, BMC panel filters
• Boost control: GFB DV+, VTA / BOV adapters

Core Return & Wastegate Instructions

• Core return required
• Remove your factory wastegate actuators before shipping your cores
• If turbos are received with wastegates installed, do not use them — reuse your original factory wastegates for known calibration and reliability

Who This Turbo Is For

• Owners targeting 850–1000+ HP
• Track-focused or high-boost street builds
• Future-proof setups planning for more power later
