Weistec W.3 Turbo Upgrade for McLaren 3.8L Twin Turbo Vehicles

If you’re looking to take your McLaren's performance to the next level, the Weistec W.3 Turbo Upgrade is here to impress! Designed specifically for the M838T Engine, this upgrade significantly enhances top-end performance. Unlike the factory turbos, which start to lose power after 6000 rpm, the Weistec W.3 Turbos maintain their power all the way to the rev limiter, ensuring a thrilling ride.

Precision Engineering

Each factory turbocharger undergoes a meticulous disassembly and inspection process. Weistec's skilled team machines the compressor cover and center cartridge to accommodate a larger, yet equally lightweight, 5-axis CNC machined impeller wheel. The best part? Your vehicle keeps its sleek, stock appearance, as no external modifications are necessary. Thanks to the innovative design, you can expect greater power levels without sacrificing spool and response.

Easy Installation

The turbochargers are reassembled using new seals and bearings, then balanced for smooth operation that meets OEM service life standards. Plus, all original oil and coolant lines fit perfectly, making installation a breeze.

Maximize Your Upgrade

For optimal performance, consider pairing the Weistec W.3 Turbo Upgrade with Weistec Downpipes and High Flow Air Filters. Don’t forget to grab the Weistec W.3 Turbo Specific ECU Upgrade for the best results!

What Is Weistec Engineering?

Based out of Orange County, California, Weistec Engineering is an industry leader in research, development, and design.
