VTT 800+ whp capable S55 GC turbo upgrade coming for the BMW F80 M3 and F82 M4

The S55 turbo market thus far is pretty much dominated by a single company (and a good one at that). The more competition the merrier for enthusiasts, right? VTT (Vargas Turbo Technologies) will finally be throwing their hat in the ring with their GC turbo upgrade.

VTT developed this upgrade for quite a while and their well received N54 GC turbo upgrade experience carries over:

800+ whp capable is big news and with crank hub fixes out there the S55 platform is about to take a big step forward.

Hot side will be SS. Compressor housings are always aluminum.

Is this a hybrid or a new turbine housing?

They would not be considered in the hybrid category. :)
