2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5T GC Turbocharger Upgrade by Vargas
Ready to take your 10th Gen to the next level? Don’t want to deal with core charges, long lead times, or restrictive factory housings? Look no further! VTT has you covered with our 100% new casting “GC” turbocharger upgrade. We start by keeping the great design elements of the factory 1.5L turbo and removing the not-so-great ones such as the small factory inlet area, bearing housing oil structure, thrust bearing, and anything else we saw that could be improved upon. With the basics covered, we stepped it up a level by adding proprietary VTT changes and finished off by having all these parts cast to OE quality. What this means for you is serious 1.5L power made easy; GCs are a drop-in turbocharger upgrade that supports up to 400WHP while maintaining near factory spool and all factory connections including oil, water, downpipe, and charge pipe.
Features
- All new castings with factory restrictions removed. No oversized wheels stuffed into factory housings here!
- 310 Stainless Steel Turbine housing for the ultimate in heat, and corrosion resistance
- 9-blade Superalloy Mar-M 246 turbine wheel with the latest aero technology for increased flow while maximizing spool
- 9 blades “point-milled” compressor wheels with the latest aero technology to maximize flow while virtually eliminating surge
- Direct connection to ALL factory lines including oil, water, downpipe, and factory charge pipe
- Redesigned, and improved internal components including bearing housing oiling, and an upgraded thrust bearing
- NO CORE CHARGES. The new unit is sold to you outright. Keep your old unit in case you ever want to go back to stock. Or sell it to recoup your investment -it’s up to you!
Benefits
- Significantly Improved Horsepower Output
Please Note: As with any turbocharger upgrade it should be coupled with complimenting upgrades such as fuel system upgrades, intake, downpipe, intercooler, tune, etc. While you will see gains going from stock turbo to a GC with no other changes, to realize the full potential of the upgrade other parts/tunes must be added.

Bought this turbo when I decided to do a full engine build and I couldn’t be happier! It was on back order and both MAPerformance & even VTT stayed in touch with me to let me know how things were going. Great customer service on both sides. I went with a PRL intercooler & charge pipes, TIP, race MAF & intake, along with a catless dp & AWE exhaust, and now this is a different car! Went Rv6 retro clutch/flywheel too, you’ll need it. The GC+ pulls hard from 3000rpm straight through redline. Made over 300whp on 93. This is a quality unit that won’t disappoint. Don’t think twice, get the GC+ and don’t look back!
