FT Series Turbo Systems

Introduced in 2004, HPA’s FT series single turbo are recognized today as one of the most reliable systems on the market for the 3.2L VR6. Engineered in partnership with HGP using Garrett turbo technology and proprietary cast housings and manifolds, the entire FT single turbo line offers the ultimate in single turbo performance straight out of the box!

The efficient ball bearing turbo cartridges offer superior throttle response and reduced turbo lag while the optimized turbine and compressor housings maximize the air flow. The special nickel-iron alloy used in our cast exhaust manifolds is specially formulated to offer the best balance between tensile strength and thermal efficiency. Our side mount intercoolers effectively cool the air charge while maintaining full air flow to the radiator and reducing the length of air travel from turbo to intake. The cast aluminum short runner intake manifold sustains higher boost levels than the factory plastic intake and maximizes the air intake to all six cylinders. Silicone boost plumbing directs the air charge through the intercoolers and into the intake manifold in as short a route possible while keeping it insulated from ambient heat.

The FT turbo systems offer unmatched component packaging, being quoted as “the closest thing to a factory turbo money can buy”. With all dyno results achieved on CA 91 octane, you are guaranteed an accelerating experience!

New for 2009...

We have completely revamped our Forced Induction program to take advantage of the modular nature of our CVP Short Runner Intake Manifold that anchors our Air-to-Water Intercooler system. We have created a simple and cost effective path to upgrade from Naturally Aspirated, to Supercharged, to Turbocharged to feed your need for speed.

Spanning the Mk4 and Mk5 R32 platforms (and their sister cars, the Audi TT and A3) we are proud to introduce our newest Forced Induction lineup:

Typhoon ixG Supercharger System for Mk4 R32

This much anticipated addition to the HPA product range came about as a result of numerous inquiries to integrate our CVP Intake Manifold with an existing Supercharger kit. Once we got our hands into this project, we began brainstorming how we could build an even better cohesive system and started sizing up blowers and calculating pressure drops... the resulting package is this Vortech V9 G-Trim based kit with Air-to-Water Intercooler... >>more info
