This is the turbocharger for the MERCEDES AMG TTE550 A45 / CLA / GLA UPGRADE TURBOCHARGER, capable of 550bhp!
TheTurboEngineers TTE550 Stage 2 hybrid turbocharger for the four cylinder 2.0 AMG engine.
To construct a TTE550 we change the original compressor and employ a far larger and more efficient billet wheel with extended tip technology and mill the compressor cover to optimum gap to match the new compressor profile. We replace the original turbine and CNC mill the turbine housing to install a larger lightweight 9 blade turbine for greater gas flow. We also replace the original bearing system for TTE upgrade that includes a 360 deg thrust bearing
The 9 Blade TTE turbine is a special turbine designed by TheTurboEngineers. Advantages are greater gas flow, reducing back pressure and lowering exhaust gas temperatures, allowing safer higher boost levels. This turbine is extremely light in mass so giving a reduced moment of inertia, meaning fast spool up for the size.
Please Note: To take advantage of the full power potential, it is 100% necessary to replace the restrictive OEM charger cooler for AMS INTERCOOLER and replace the 50MM OEM Rubber concertina hose from turbo to airbox (MST offer a 60mm item)
Equilibrium
Precisely balancing our turbochargers is a key critical factor to become a TTE upgrade unit as longevity and performance are paramount. Good balance improves acoustics also. Subsequent great care is taken with all TTE turbochargers to achieving our balance standards. Firstly parts are balanced at slow speeds up to 2800RPM in multiple planes using our single parts machine, then components are assembled and then the CHRA are dynamically balanced, but this time depending on application at up to 250,000 RPM in multiple planes using our in house VSR machine to acquire the ultimate equilibrium, to a standard far higher than OEM. Each turbocharger is supplied with serial numbered balance test result document.
