Turbocharger & components

Turbochargers and turbo components. Send the number off the turbo's nameplate if it's still readable, or the engine model and rating if it isn't.

What to send us

The number stamped on the old part is the quickest route. If it has worn off, the engine or genset model and serial number usually gets us there. Photos help more than descriptions.

We cross-check whatever you send against the OEM catalogue and confirm the match with you before anything ships.

About this range

A turbocharger takes exhaust energy on one wheel and compresses inlet air on the other, both on a single shaft running in oil-fed bearings. Most failures are that shaft, its bearings or its seals.

Blue smoke under acceleration and oil in the intercooler point at shaft seals. Noticeable side-to-side play in the wheel points at the bearings. A hiss or a rattle that comes and goes with load is more often the wastegate actuator sticking than the turbo itself, which is worth checking first because the actuator is a fraction of the cost. Oil starvation and debris through the compressor are the usual root causes, and fitting a replacement without finding the cause tends to produce a second failure.

We supply complete turbochargers, core assemblies, wheel and shaft sets, clamps and gaskets. Send the number off the turbo nameplate: engine model alone is not enough, because one engine takes several turbo variants.
