Vargas N54 “GC LITE 2.0” Stock Location Turbocharger Kit

DISCLAIMER

Vargas turbo kits are made to order and typically ship within 2–4 weeks. Any cancellation made before 7 weeks from the order date will be subject to a 20% cancellation fee. Once a turbo has been built, it will ship within 2 business days, and any cancellation at that stage will incur a 50% fee.

The same 50% fee applies to all turbo returns, excluding warranty or verified defect claims, which are exempt from fees. Custom items—including coated components, VTT-FAB single turbo kits, and custom driveshafts—are non-returnable and subject to a 50% restocking fee.

The Vargas Turbo Technologies GC LITE 2.0 Stock Location Turbocharger Kit for the BMW N54 engine is engineered to deliver exceptional power, response, and reliability while maintaining factory-style fitment and drivability. Designed entirely from the ground up using 100 percent new components, the GC LITE 2.0 builds upon the proven success of VTT’s GC turbo platform to offer an unmatched balance of fast spool and high power capability, supporting up to 700 wheel horsepower with proper fueling, tuning, and supporting modifications.

This turbo system features a high-flow 9-blade TD04L turbine paired with a 16T billet compressor wheel, optimized to maximize airflow per shaft revolution while retaining stock-like response. Strategic increases in internal housing volume and a carefully revised turbine A/R ratio allow for increased flow without sacrificing spool, resulting in performance that rivals factory turbochargers in response while dramatically exceeding them in power output.

Each turbocharger is manufactured with newly engineered compressor housings, bearing housings, and turbine housings specifically designed to fit the factory N54 turbo location. An upgraded performance thrust assembly is standard on every set, improving durability and extending turbocharger service life under increased boost and load. The GC LITE 2.0 kit is designed to deliver consistent power across the entire RPM range, making it ideal for drivers who demand strong top-end performance without compromising daily drivability.

The system is compatible with VTT 2-inch inlets and VTT silicone hot-side charge pipes, which were engineered alongside these turbochargers for optimal fit and performance. Optional ceramic coating is available to reduce under-hood temperatures and improve thermal efficiency. No core charge is required, allowing you to retain or resell your original turbochargers.
