In a world littered with oversized hybrid turbos that never get into their powerband, the GT1752 is the intelligent choice for real-world performance.

Unreliability and poor performance have left many with a bad investment, turbos that are too big, too laggy, and too stressed for a daily-driven PD engine. Shafts snap, impellers fail, and the car spends more time waiting for boost than using it.

Enhanced Turbo Performance GT1752 hybrid turbochargers are engineered differently. They are the most reliable, best-matched hybrid turbocharger for the 1.9 & 2.0 TDi engine, delivering meaningful power gains without sacrificing the driveability that makes these engines so popular.

Engineered by Specialists – Not Assembled by Chance

Every unit is designed by our in-house turbocharger engineering specialists with over 30 years of knowledge and experience. The GT1752 is a carefully considered package, not the biggest wheel we can fit, but the best wheel for the application.

Why a 52mm compressor wheel? Because bigger isn't always better. The 52mm billet compressor wheel is the optimum size for this engine platform, it flows enough air for 200+ BHP without pushing the compressor into an inefficient, high-stress area of the map. The result is fast spool, lower charge temperatures, and less stress on the entire system.

The turbine wheel is kept at standard size but with cut-back blades to increase flow and significantly reduce backpressure. This is a critical detail , by not oversizing the turbine, we retain the quick spool characteristics the GT17 frame is known for, while the cut-back profile gives the top-end breathing it needs to support higher power levels.

Once the wheel selection is finalised, the bearing system is investigated to ensure the same reliability as a stock unit, at much higher boost pressures.

Technical Specs

Billet Compressor Wheel – 52mm

• Enlarged lightweight billet design with Increased Inducer Efficiency (IIE) and Extended Exducer Technology (EET)
• CNC-machined from solid billet aluminium, no castings, no weak points
• Optimised 52mm diameter for maximum efficiency on the 1.9/2.0 TDi engine
• Reduced rotating mass for fast spool similar to a standard GT17

Turbine Wheel – Standard Size, Cut-Back Blades

• Standard GT17-frame diameter retained for quick spool characteristics
• Cut-back blade profile to increase flow area
• Significantly reduced backpressure for cooler EGTs and better top-end power
• The perfect balance of low-end response and high-flow capability

Upgraded Bearing System – Built for High Boost

• 360 race thrust pads for superior load capacity
• Upgraded ported oil galleries with extra galleries added where required
• Hardened bearing materials and precision-machined bearing faces
• Twin oil ports for consistent lubrication in critical oiling areas
• Larger thrust collar to reduce thrust loading under sustained high boost

Staggered Total-Closure Piston Rings

• Prevents oil blow-by, especially on low-backpressure exhaust systems
• A common failure point on lesser hybrids, eliminated here

Precision Balancing – VSR High-Speed Balanced to Motorsport Tolerance

• Components balanced individually, then assembled and balanced again
• Final VSR (Vacuum Spin Rig) high-speed balance ensures low vibration, low noise, and maximum performance
• No oil leaks, no nasty surprises
• Every unit includes its own VSR Balancing Certificate

Flow Bench Calibrated – The Final Step

• The completed CHRA is installed into CNC-machined housings
• Actuator and nozzle ring are precisely calibrated together on our in-house flow bench
• Flow rate is adjusted via the nozzle ring to ensure the best performing, highest flowing direct-fit hybrid turbocharger for your application

Performance Potential

With the correct hardware and supporting modifications (intercooler, exhaust, injectors, and a custom tune), this unit delivers:

• Power: 200+ BHP (dependant on engine condition and supporting hardware)
• Boost: Max 2.2 bar (Tapering off as RPM increases)
• Spool: Faster than standard — full boost earlier than any big-frame hybrid
• Driveability: Strong mid-range torque, minimal lag, genuine daily-driver manners
• EGTs: Lower than a big-frame hybrid at the same power level due to the matched turbine wheel

The GT1752 delivers the spool of a small turbo with the top-end of something much larger. It is the ideal choice for the driver who wants a genuinely fast road car, not a dyno queen that's a pig to drive on the street.

Direct bolt-on to factory manifold, oil and water lines, and downpipe.

⚠️ Critical Tuning Note

This turbocharger REQUIRES a professional custom tune (remap). Generic off-the-shelf maps, tuning boxes, or "stage 2" files designed for standard turbos are not suitable and will cause serious damage.

"No poke without smoke" may be an in-vogue saying, but poorly constructed maps with excessive smoke will cause carbon build-up in the bearing systems, sticking VNT mechanisms, overspeed, and turbo failure. A quality custom tune with correct fuelling, boost pressure, and timing is essential for reliability.

About Enhanced Turbo

There's a big difference in hybrid turbochargers, and many price points. But for industry-leading, proven performance upgrade turbochargers, Enhanced Turbo are at the top of the ladder.

Nearly 30 years of British turbocharging expertise. Our hybrid turbochargers are race-proven worldwide, including the World's Fastest FWD record with FAT PIG Racing. We design, machine, balance, calibrate, and test every unit in-house at our dedicated facility in Lancashire, UK.

To obtain the best performance, you need a car in good mechanical condition with good supporting hardware, air filter, intercooler, upgraded exhaust, to help flow air and exhaust gases with minimum restriction. Custom tuning is extremely important to ensure correct fuelling, boost pressure, and timing.
