Also known as the "Super Stealth (SS)1849V" - this is the entry level version of our exclusive "easy install" hybrid turbo. (We call it an "18", but this turbo uses the same exhaust side as our Hammerhead and Hammerhead plus turbos, which is bigger than a vnt-20!

By far, the greatest barrier to performance with the vnt-style turbos is the restrictive exhaust turbine and VNT control vane areas. This is especially true of the VNT-17 based hybrid turbos currently on the marklet. Our proprietary machining process carefully opens up this hot-side "choke point". We then fit an exclusive, specially manufactured for us, "KERMA only" exhaust turbine, that flows better than any "drop-in" type turbo available anywhere! The result is amazingly low EGT and excellent efficiency for a drop-in replacement turbo.

Our "super 17" compressor has a larger inducer for higher flow than the "regular" vnt-17. The HAMMER will easily support 170 hp with the correct accompanying mods, with lower EGT than a "straight" vnt-17 or vnt-17 based hybrids.
Installs like a stock turbo, looks like a stock turbo, boost better than a VNT-17, and spools very quickly! No adapters or re-clocking, just bolt it in for no-hassle installation.

This turbo gives all of the benefits of a high performance turbo while keeping a very straightforward installation and a factory profile.

All of our upgrade turbos now include a free drilling/tapping for an EGT bung, and all hardware needed for a standard installation!

PD100 (BEW) owners can select the "smart" actuator upgrade for use with these newer cars.
