The next 2.0 TSI Gen.3 equipped with LM575 IS38.
Customer was not interested in precise bhp/PS number: He just wanted a 'Daily' Medium tune for 60-130mph under 8 secs and zero timing retard.
Here the results with 3x 60-130mph runs | DRAGY:

Also the latest IS38 Revision 06K 145 874P (2019-2020) is not tuning-stable (maybe even weaker and not meant to get tuned in a stronger way). The new-like IS38 in the video just made 9 miles after the tune (348 HP / 21,3 PSI | 1,45 bar) and the other one from a different tuner managed 2600 miles (22,2 PSI | 1,55 bar). There were 6x defective 'P' IS38 only last week. It got disassembled on the table and one can see that it is NOT enough to replace the little parts but the COMPLETE CORE / heart needs to be exchanged into a 100% stable core like LM core or another solid and track-proof heart to be safe and faster.

All those runs were in km/h not MPH.
Doing a 62-124 is one way to speed it up.

Yep, all of these runs are not a true 60 - 130 time but don't tell OP because he thinks these turbos are setting world records. :rolleyes:

I think the majority of us have come to ignore this thread by now because the OP posts nowhere else on this forum but here.

Lots of stock IS38 turbos of all years and models (2013 first - 2019 final revision):
The are all produced in Ichtershausen (IHI Company) Germany whilst the IS20 is partly built there, too, and also in Mexico (Honeywell)
