Product Details

When a turbocharger fails, the damage is often concentrated in the cartridge, which contains the rotating core components. Rotomaster A1380203N addresses that repair path by replacing the cartridge only, rather than the full turbocharger. This approach supports faster service and preserves the housings already on the vehicle. It is a direct-fit turbocharger cartridge for Ford diesel trucks and vans, including 1994-1999 Ford F-250, Ford F-350, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford E-350 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, and Ford F-250 HD applications listed below.

This part cross-references N138203C for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Turbocharger noise caused by worn cartridge components
• Loss of boost from internal turbo wear
