Rotomaster K1040240N Turbocharger Cartridge

Turbocharger Cartridge Replacement

Rotomaster K1040240N is a new turbocharger cartridge for vehicles that need core turbo repair without replacing the full assembly. It uses journal bearing construction, coolant cooling, and O.E.-grade components to restore turbo function while allowing reuse of the original compressor and turbine housings.

This New Turbocharger Cartridge line focuses on direct O.E. replacement parts that reduce repair time and eliminate the need to replace the entire turbocharger when the damage is isolated to the cartridge. It is a practical option for Buick Verano, Buick Regal, Chevrolet Cobalt, Chevrolet HHR, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac Solstice applications.
