Product Details and Specifications
This remanufactured turbocharger features a journal bearing type, which supports smooth shaft rotation and durability under high operating temperatures. The cooling method uses coolant to maintain optimal turbocharger temperature during operation. The included wastegate actuator helps regulate boost pressure for consistent engine performance. Made from steel and aluminum, the turbocharger balances strength and weight. The package contains the turbocharger itself, a gasket for proper sealing, a syringe for lubrication, and an instruction sheet to assist with installation.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Restores engine power loss caused by worn or failing turbochargers
- Replaces turbochargers damaged by foreign object ingestion or shaft play
- Solves issues related to oil starvation and overheating of the turbocharger
- Addresses excessive crankcase pressure due to worn engine components
- Improves air and fuel delivery efficiency in compatible Audi and Volkswagen models
Installation Notes and Maintenance Tips
Before installation, inspect the turbocharger for any signs of damage such as nicks or scratches on the wheels. It is important to replace the air filter and clean the entire air and exhaust system to prevent premature turbocharger failure. Allow the engine to cool before shutting down to avoid cutting off oil supply to a hot turbocharger. Regular engine oil changes are recommended to maintain proper lubrication and extend turbocharger life. Note that mounting brackets and hardware are not included with this product.

| Troubleshooting Tip | A decrease in engine power may be your first indication your turbocharger is damaged or has failed. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Any nicks, scratches, or chips on either wheel are evidence foreign object damage caused by contaminants entering the airflow to or from the engine. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Axial end play of the wheels and shaft in and out greater than the thickness of a sheet of paper indicates a worn thrust bearing due to excessive exhaust backpressure. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Before a failed turbocharger is replaced the original cause of failure must be diagnosed and corrected to protect the new installation. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Common signs of wear indicating replacement may be required: |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Worn engines with excessive blow by will result in crankcase pressurization, leading to oil leaking from the turbochargers internal seals. This may result in oil deposits in the intake manifold or smoke in the exhaust. This is not necessarily a sign of a failed turbocharger, but rather a sign that the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. |
