The DBX shares its M177 twin-turbo V8 with the Mercedes-AMG C63, E63, GLC63, and GT63 — sourced directly from AMG's Kölleda plant. The YPG Stage 3 turbo upgrade is a direct bolt-on replacement using the same turbo hardware proven across the entire M177 platform.
Each turbo is CNC-machined to strict tolerances and features upgraded billet compressor wheels, an upgraded turbine wheel, and ceramic-coated housings to manage extreme exhaust gas temperatures.
- Upgraded billet compressor wheel: Higher airflow capacity, faster spool
- Upgraded turbine wheel: Improved efficiency under high exhaust flow
- Ceramic-coated housing: Manages extreme EGTs
- Upgraded internals: Uprated bearings and shafts for sustained high-boost reliability
- CNC-machined: All components precision-machined in-house
- Fitment: Drop-in — uses factory mounting, no modifications required
- Power target: 950–1,050HP with supporting mods and tune
- Fuel: 98 RON / E40+
- Warranty: 1 year
